A build

Yeah... I'm going to crank them down quite a bit. Also plan to switch to a shorter shackle in the rear & drop the whole shebang down at least 1".
That will even it out with the body lift I'm installing.

Sounds like a plan.

Well, its my 2nd set of Kings and I would say the best bang for the buck out there in CO's. As for the spring rate I believe they are 600 or 650 lb springs I will check next time I start the truck which could be a while.

 

Who would have known that what should have taken me about 45 minutes took 6 hours. I replaced all of the pulleys including the tensioner and because the fan clutch flange was frozen to the water pump pulley this turned into a nightmare 6 hours....

 

Why did you have to take the fan off?

 

Well, to make room. I didn't feel like dropping the skid plate to access the lower #1 pulley, I have taken the fan off and reinstalled before on the side of the road in Moab in about 10 minutes. I figured it would be a 10 minute deal again but no dice.

 

Damn I can do all of mine if I lay down in front of the drivers side wheel and go through the gap above the skid. Did em last week!

 

Yeah I looked at going that rout but was denied. I should have done it all in about 45 minutes including the fan and shroud removal.

 

Oh well. It's done now!

 

Indeed and the truck no longer sounds like an emergency vehicle with its siren on.

 

Some new sneaks.

 

Very heavy tire but the off-road performance is fantastic IMO.

 

Yeah I have had Nitto's before and they were super heavy but that extra weight aids in side wall protection so Im good with it. I cant believe this is my 7th set of tires.

 

I was thinking about those next.

 

Yeah they get pretty good reviews so I thought I would give them a try. I cay this they seem beefy but we shall see how they perform?

 

When do yo want to hit Rausch & try them out?

 

Let me know?
