    I have Kings 16" #700's and working out awesome. in my opinion 17" #750 would be pretty stiff

    A lot of guys over here are running 700#'s. I think the length is 13 or 14" though :confused:

    Alright thanks for the input.


    700# springs sounds like the way to go

    What are king shocks prices like? I'm probably gonna do either king or icon. I can get a decent deal on both.

    How do the kings ride with the 700 spring? It'll be for 2" LT. How about rear kings?

    So you'll need 8" kings for a LT kit. And they ride amazing no complaints with them what so ever. I think down south motorsports may have the best price on kings. In the rear I have 2.5" kings with comp adjusters valved 12 on compression and 10 on rebound. It does really well offroad

    I run the ex travel kings up front. Regular length, no LT. I have the 14" 700# coils and valved pretty close, comfy slow and on the road but a bit soft at speed, can't have it all. With a plate bumper, full skids and a winch the 700# coils work out really well. If someone were to go with heavier skids like all 1/4" and a heavier bumper like an ARB (160# range I think) then the 750# would likely be a good option but anything less might be a bit stiff.

    Just try and talk with someone who knows how to get you in the ballpark on valving. Can make all the difference... I've got 700's with just full skids and sliders, no bumper or winch and I wouldnt want to ask too much more of the 700's. But if you're just crawling not fast stuff 700's are probably fine.

    Edit: tyler beat me to most of it haha

    Haha they're actually quite decent in the snow and ice. Not powder, but they seem to do quite well on the road.


    Put in led map lightship. I want an led dome too. And did the anti theft tailgate thing.
