3rd Gen Owners with King Coilovers

Anything below 21" should be good. Doubt there is any damage to the shock, if you are concerned at all just make sure they are not leaking oil and are pressurized with nitrogen.

 

That's a pretty serious clunk. I initially had my coiler overs at 8 threads up on driver's side and 7 threads up on passenger side and had some topping out clunks while going over speed bumps at speed and when shocks quickly rebounded offloading. I'm now down to 3 threads up on driver's side and 2 threads up on passenger side and still have some clunking from time to time while off roading. My shocks are right at 21" from top of top hat to middle of lower bolt. I'm thinking about going down to 1 thread up on driver's side and 0 threads up on passenger side to further eliminate the clunking.

I really don't know how other trucks are running with so much preload...

 

Me either. Maybe they don't go off-road or smash speed bumps.

 

Measuring threads showing can be misleading to others if you are running a different length or rate coil than what comes from King. 2 threads showing on a 14x700 spring is a lot different than a 13x600 spring. The 21" measurement is the best to go off of.

 

Hey guys with the tc weld on spindle gussets (sway bar retained) will i need a spacer? Currently running method nvs and K02's 265/75/16

 

If the Method NV is a 16x8 et0 / ~ 4.5 BS, you will clear the spindle gusset. I did test fit a TRD Pro Faux Beadlock onto my setup and it was very close.

 

I want to play

 

The winning wheel/suspension combo, and the use of the og valve stems

 

Thank you!

 

Time to bite the Kings bullet. Who's got the best deals for non adjustables?

 

Some companies can give you a little price break, but not everyone can tune them to your needs. I would definitely contact @AccuTune Offroad and see what they can do for you.

 

Thanks, just sent them a message and hopefully we could get the ball rolling.

 

Thanks! We will custom valve the shocks specific to your trucks weight and how you plan on driving it. Street, high speed desert or trails we will tune them accordingly. We do not just send shocks out with standard valving. Those services ($80-100/per shock) comes free with purchase, plus free shipping to lower 48.

I don't have any messages from you, please send again! Thanks

 

Sent to instagram but looks like shipping is the problem. Thanks anyway.

 

replied, lets see what we can do.

 

For those who live in areas where salt is used on the roads how have your Kings held up? Also do you apply anything to protect them?

 

here you go

 

Ouch

 

Been a while since I posted

 

How's them StopTechs compared to the factory brakes? You have a link to the part numbers?
