    I have a 2017 TRD OR 4x4. This is the kit I'm looking to get for 2.75-3". How does it look? Any thing else I should know? No extra weight other than sliders. Probably going to get aluminum front and rear bumpers (winch) eventually but not for awhile. So I was going with the 600 springs and if I need to go to 650 or 700 down the line I will. I was confused on what leaf pack I should get or if I need anything. Or If there is something different you would recommend let me know. I use the truck for work so no plans on tent or alot of weight in back like a full overland build (I need an open bed). What about ext travel for the rear? I have decided against the compression adjusters because from everything I have read I probably won't use it alot but let me know what you think.
    **I also posted this in the king thread in the suspension forum

    Looks good but I would go with 650 springs already since 3rd gen is a little heavier anyway

    Other than the UCA that is exactly what i ordered. I think the 600 lbs springs should be good to start. They are 14 inch springs not the 13 inch of fox.

    Stock OR springs are 700#, so I’m with Duderino. 650# minimum. The 3rd gen front end is 300lbs heavier than a 2nd gen

    I have a small low profile bumper and winch (135lbs) and I run 700#. If you aren’t running any additional weight up front you should be fine with the 650#

    I would ditch the AAL and do a full leaf pack with extended travel rear shocks.

    I'm pretty sure that King doesn't have a true extended travel rear shock, they just extend the bottom mount to make the overall length longer but the stroke is the same as the non-extended travel shock. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    I wouldn’t run that low on the 3rd gen, they will sag over time.

    The 3rd gen is 300lbs more in the front than the 2nd gen and the second gen has 600# springs
