    So basically it will travel a total of 12". Right now I have icon rxt shocks and am pushing 12" of total travel. Will 14" travel a full 14 if springs allow it?

    You mean 12" wheel travel when including articulation from your RXT 9-10" travel shock right?

    If you include articulation with Archive setup to get wheel travel, then its probably ~16" from a 12" shock, I think I measured that on my truck once. I don't call that 16" travel because it doesn't happen unless the axle is articulated. 12" shock gets you 12" travel.

    Exactly. That's the info I was looking for. If the leaf pack allows it will it use all of a 14" shock without interfering with bump travel?

    Every other brand I know of has some issue that doesn't allow proper install or function, so I can't recommend them

    Reviving this thread to ask if anyone has removed the @ARCHIVE rear relocation mounts? I'm trying to return my truck to as close to stock as I can get it...and I'd love to remove these to pass on to another member. Obviously anything is possible with cutoff wheels and a torch...but is it worth it?

    Or do I just find a cheap Monroe shock that fits and the next owner has an Easter egg waiting for them?

    Theses towers have been cut off before but, it would suck putting stock stuff back on.
    I say buy some cheap shocks and put them in. I'd check out something like 2000 F250 4x4 shocks etc

    And since I don't own a welder Id have to pay a guy....I imagine chopping it all off & then mounting stock stuff in its place would probably eat up most of what I could sell it for.

    It would cost you more to do that VS buying an F250 6" lift 5100 to replace your FOX/KING 2.5.

    Who wants some sexxxy triple bypass Kangs for their towers? :spending: :jerkoff: :evil: I really wish it was easier to remove the shock tower and pass it along to someone for a deal, but no can do. So if you already have the tower and want some epic shocks then I'm your man.

    I’m trying to figure out what the smallest spacer I can run on with the archive relocation with 2.5” kings. I have raceline wheels with 0 offset and 4.75” backspacing… any suggestions?

    Depends on tire size and what travel shocks you are running.

    For comparison I'm on Archive Garage relocation, 2.5 smoothies, -25 Dakars and I run a 1.25 spacer. When it comes to spacers you can only go so small before the lugs interfere with the wheels. Stay with hub centric and don't buy the auto parts store super slim ones that sandwich between the wheel and the drum.
