Ruining Stock Suspension? Constant Load

I'm hoping to be one of their "success stories." They're supposedly similar to OME in longevity (~100k miles), but offer a smoother and quieter ride. No top-out clunking or excessively stiff valving. I'll be making a boatload of posts once I get my lift kit installed and tested.

 

That’s what I’ve heard. And from my understanding that don’t have the sagging issue also that many guys who have OME complain about.

 

They actually have a sagging warranty. Anything more than 12mm (~1/2 inch) of sag and you can file a warranty claim.

 

AAL will sag and youll have to redo it

 

Great plan. Taken your time and do your research and I’m sure you’ll be happy with the decision you make.

 

Just try not to drown in all the information out there. It's overwhelming. Ask me how I know.

 

My kings cost less than 2200

 

For the fronts only? Or fronts and rears?

 

2500 for front and rear with resi and adjusters

No need to pay full price or the toytec markup for billys and eibach coils

 

The toytecs with billies and rear billies is about a 3rd of that. But yes if he’s doing hard off-road Kings could be a better option.

 

Anyone have an idea of how long my stock leafs will take the weight? Pumped gas next to another truck and it looks like I'm compressed 2-3 Inches on the rear already...

 

I think you answered your own question.

 

Godddddd damn it. You right

 

I'm saying this because you said it was going to be a permanent fixture for your truck. So there's the result of the RTT and the sag caused. It could pop spring back once removed though.

 

I too am running a tent, racks top and back, winch, steel front bumper, dual batteries, the whole thing and i'm PAST flat in the rear.... I've been riding and wheeling a year before i just blasted my suspension! argh!

 

I have another thread running trying to decide what kind of lift I would most benefit from. Who knew, a $900 rack and a $2,000 dollar RTT would make you drop $3,000+ on a lift. My largest money pit to date lol

 

Nah, it will be cheaper than that. Rear leaf pack replacement. No UCA's needed immediately if you go 2" in the front (5/6 clip setting) with 265's. I reccomend the 6112 front 5160 rear. The bigger shock body of the 6112 does great here on the rock garden trails here in CO. Rear resy's will help with the extra strain and heat build up with the weight on trails in the rear. I'm running this setup with an AAL because I don't run heavy weight all the time in the rear. Love it.

 

How's your alignment with no UCA's though.

 

Fine. Just take it to RSG or Toytec for alignment. No pulling, tracks very well. Just had a rotation done at discount and wear is even.

 

Nice, not doing UCA's now would definitely make me feel better lol
