3rd Gen Owners with King Coilovers

Can you run extended in the rear w/o a lift? Any consequences of doing so? I'm pricing out what I want right now after finishing the entire thread last night and deciding to go w/Kings.

 

This. My Baja kits driver UCA has even made contact with the coil bucket slightly. I’d put the icon hose guards on and forget about it.

 

I'm doing this right now just in case I do want lift later. I got extended front and rears and wanted it leveled but the fronts earned me 3" of lift at lowest setting

 

I can't/don't want to do UCAs, so I'm going to stick w/the non-extended in the front because of this.

 

I’m running the Baja Kits uca and it barely touches at full extension.
You can push down the elbow that connects the hose to the top of the shock and it will move a couple mm’s if thats all you need.

I just got a pair of rear extended within the last month, so im sure they are making.
Bigger question how soon available.

Nope no prob doing this.
For the past couple weeks i was running extended on the rears with no lift with no problem.
In my experience I was hitting my bump stop before the stantion would telescope in.

 

You got 3” because of the 700’s.
I’m running 600’s and without turning the coils, I got 1” lift, which leveled the truck perfectly.
Only adjustment I needed to make from there was to compensate for lean.
Wasnt liking the completely level look so this week added a deaver (gained 1”) and now it sits perfect with just the slightest rake.

 

No point in lifting

I have a progressive AAL which should level it out whenever I install it.

 

I only want to go up a inch or inch in a half. I have some armor and Mobtown sliders and my factory sized tires on SCS wheels rub because the front is sagging some after 36K, so I want to level it up.

Do it sooner than later.
I waited a weeks and wish i had done it right away.
It gives the rear a more planted/solid feeling over stock similar to the difference you felt in front when you added the kings.
Not that difficult and you dont even need to remove the shocks, although lots of people do.
You can have both sides done in less than 2 hours.

 

Finally got a chance to drive the truck and I'm calling bullshit on whoever says it's gonna be a rough ride with 700 lb springs cause this shit is smooth.

 

RPM Guys are great had my spring swap and alignment done on the 21st............

 

I agree, I went from 600 to 700 and LOVE IT!

 

I just swapped out from 600 to 700, no issues. I love it! Right now I am stock in the front except 2 batteries. I am getting a Demello bumper but it rides great right now without the weight..........

 

Love my 700lb springs too haha glad I went with them right off the bat so I didn’t have to swap later. I’ve got aluminum skids, roof rack, and sliders for now and it rides awesome.

 

Nice
Now you need to get alignment.
I had a hell of a time get one.
No one wanted to do on a 19 only one who would do one was the dealership then they got it wrong had to have them do it again after I called and talk to @state48overland they let me know what to have them set everything at.
Erick there at @state48overland even called me after I got it to make sure everything was ok. Thanks Erick for the help even after the sale they have been there to help me out with any questions that have came up.

Here a picture of what I had to have them set it up for the alignment.

 

Swapped out from 600 to 700's...........Also adjusted them and had an alignment.

Yeah I wished I would’ve done 650lbs at least but at the time I didn’t plan on armor in the beginning and we all know how that goes. I have a pro skid, steel sliders and full steel bumper now. Rides perfectly fine now, actually smoother than its ever been on the street. Just got a Smittybilt winch that weighs about 46lbs and need to install it so I’m assuming that’ll bring it down some and probably sway a little bit more than I would like it to while off-roading. Probably gonna upgrade to 650 when I service them. I think 700 will be on the stiffer side for my liking but it’ll probably ride fine. I just prefer a little more plush on the road since it’s a daily driver.

 

Get the 700s. Ride is not rough at all. Don't believe the rumors spread by dudes who don't even own them.

 

I recently purchased kings with 600s . Will I sag with a full set of skids?
