    Set of king 2.5 extended travels, icon uca's up front, icon aal and king 2.5's arse end.

    everything I've seen thus far via forum leads me to believe adjusting them on the truck would be difficult without a means to compress them.

    Had someone tell me to leave the overload leaf on when putting the icon aal in even though the instructions say to remove it he said his sits flat without the overload. So who knows whats real :)

    I can't see why the overload would have any effect on the spring unloaded. I could see you not having enough room in your U-Bolts if you don't have new long ones. Maybe you could ask Icon why.

    I still have my overload in with the Wheelers 3 leaf AAL.

    Yep, pain in the butt, butt doable if you have to. lol I also forgot you were going with this kind of shock. Carry on as planned.


    The overload acts as a spacer lift when not heavily loaded. Wonder if he meant the truck sat level, not the springs were flat.

    On the bright side it should only take 2 and 1/2 turns and some change.

    I have an actual spanner wrench, I'm sure it would work cause Ive used it on Kings before, the tool you have is just a way of doing it without scratching the collar

    As long as i manage about 2.5 to 3 inches of lift up front i don't care how we get it done. i checked a few forums on these kings with a 700 lbs spring rate and it shouldn't take a lot of preload to get it done.
    I may have to adjust them again after eddy makes me a bumper though but i can live with that

    How much of it do you need? I've got the curved pipe between the fender and the filter.
