King ET: Average fender to center of hub measurement.

I had the king 2.5 extended travel with adjustable reservoirs installed on my ‘09 taco TRD OR about 6 months ago. The guy that installed them was recommended to me by a coworker and was said to have a decent working knowledge on Toyotas. When he installed them he had to set the fronts’ collar all the way down just to get the front close to level with the rear. For background I have an ARB front bumper with winch. I ordered them from Accu-tune and they were fully aware of my front and rear loads. To be honest the ride is rougher than I was expecting compared to what I’ve read in other reviews. The adjusters are set to fill soft as well. I’m wondering if the fronts are just extended too much and the spring is under too much pre-load. Also the reads are king adjustables matching the front, only difference is the leaf spring pack which I bought with my OME kit years ago. They were said to be the leaf springs for vehicles without much weight on the rear. Curious if anyone has taken measurements from the fender to the center of the hub for the front and rear with a similar setup. I’m wondering if the rear is so high because of the leaf pack. The kit didn’t seem to give me too much of a lift compared to my OME set, but that could be an illusion due to smaller tires than I’ve seen on trucks with similar sets.

 

700lb coils? Sounds like they are preloaded way too much. What’s your top hat to center bolt measurement at ride height? Center hub to fender I’m at 23” Stock 3rd gen are at 21”

 

I’ll measure it when I get home. The truck has always had a bit of a rake with the front being a bit lower ever since I did the OME suspension years ago. With the kings it a bit better but still noticeable. Is it common for a lead spring to really jack up the back so much? I kinda always thought the lead spring would mainly just support weight put on it and just be more stiff if there isn’t enough weight on it. What’s your measurements for the rear? I know there’ll be a difference between 2nd gen and 3rd gen but I appreciate the help.

 

@AccuTune Offroad has tech specs on web site for kings very help. I have 700lb coils with full steel armor front bumper and winch. Keeping install length of spring and top hat to bolt in there specs. Ride is great IMO. Have about 2” of lift. Rake I have about 2” which is fine when loaded I still retain rake which I want. Don’t like the level look. I’ll get rear measurement for you when I get home for work

 

I reached out to accutune. Hoping to hear from them soon. I don’t mind the rake so much, it’s the ride. I feel the paint on the road, that’s how stiff it is.

 

They will reach out for sure awesome dudes over there.

 

I ordered my struts from them after multiple conversations with them. Loved the support.

 

You get any measurements?
