    Doesn’t sound right for 600lb springs with steel bumper and only 3 threads for a 2” lift. Typically no extra weight and 3 threads are set from Kings net you about an inch of lift. They might have measured right after install. Always good to hit a dip or good bump afterwards then align and measure.

    Yea I'm assuming he did those measurements as soon as install was done. planning on getting alignment done tomorrow once I get the new tires on as well. Once the alignment is done will I be good to have the coil overs adjusted and be done with alignments or should I find desired height then do alignment ?

    Edit: think the front bumper is like 70 lbs or so. pretty light

    Do the adjustments before the alignment if you can. Just drive around and hit a decent dip to compress the suspension. That’ll help it settle then measure. Do the same thing each time you adjust.

    Negative, accutune in Los Angeles did the install, they were looking for a 3rd gen tacoma to install Kings and baseline their valving process. The Tundra shock is bigger.

    So install is done, I went with 650# coils. My measurements after lift (straight out of box) were around FL:23 1/4 FR:23 1/8 BR: 23 3/8 BR:25 ish !!!! this is the most taco lean I've ever seen. Unfortunately I didn't measure there rear beforehand. But I have no idea how to compensate for this. Icon rxt pack in the rear on the lowest setting and double checked everything was installed right. Anyone any imput? No armor in front or rear. 2018 trd OR DCLB 4x4

    How many threads did you folks adjust your set up to? I know every rig is different weight wise, but just wanna have an idea of what to expect before install. I'm hoping to set it ONCE and it be good without having to remove and re-adjust. Both sides were unboxed showing 4 threads each. I know whatever I choose I'll do a couple threads more on driver side.

    Only weight I have right now is All Pro HD sliders, camper, and my big ol' body. Front and rear bumpers and full skids (all steel) in the near future. Truck currently sitting with about 1.25" of rake on a full OME kit with HD Dakars. Level to slight rake is preferred.
