    Hey guys/gals so when I had the king coilovers in the front installed, I followed the instructions that came in the box. Now, after researching and seeing other tacomas with same front setup, I like how they have their external reservoirs installed horizontal. In the instructions it came vertical and it's the way I installed.

    How others have it setup:

    Tried searching google and tacomaworld and wasn't able to find anything.

    Any suggestions?


    Thank you

    King changed the mounts and fittings so they're vertical like yours are. I called DSM when mine came in and they confirmed it. You won't be able to mount them horizontally due to the different angles of the fittings.

    Also the pics of the other trucks you posted are long travel trucks, not OEM replacement like your setup.
    Fwiw my Icon resis mount th same way as yours. I like it.

    Fox I believe mount the way you like

    Old thread but needing some mounts. Picked up some used kings, don’t have the reservoir mounts. Don’t need it to be king mounts specifically but anyone know where I can get a bracket like that?

    I am looking for the same thing. The only bolt on option I found was by dirt king but they are on back order until next week. There are some universal mounts out there that you bolt to the frame, I may end up going that route.
