    Got the bajakits and they're pretty stout. Only gripes are the uniball bolt holes store water and they rub the reservoir hose (yes, I tried adjusting it). Or King could not be so frugal with their hoses!

    Have you tired rotating the resevoir to see if that will eliminate the resevoir hose rubbing issue?

    Anyone got recommendations for messing with the adjusters? Crank em all the way one direction and then adjust slowly? Go a few a time, what do you think?

    Y’all.. what’s the standard labor cost to install a set of kings, uca, and complete lea pack? Does $600 give or take $50 sound about right?

    There’s some local guys on here that does good work and at reasonable prices if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself. Check out @Bot_Chu stuff. I wrenched all of my stuff so yes free is the best price. Here’s his work.

    Question... whats another way to lift the front a little higher than 2.5”? I have a pair of kings and cranked them up to 15 clicks ( yes too much preload and learned the hard way) for about a year and this happened:

    B563F990-B9A4-4B12-947A-F06AE7111574.jpg

    My current set up is king 2.5 EXT with TC UCAs and 295 tires.

    Seems like other members truck look way higher without sacrificing the cv angles. Unless they’re running long travel? Thanks in advance.
