Mid Travel BS 2.0

I made my own, I was looking at the BAMF, but they wouldn't work with the way our frame and the body go together.

 

I know you guys have plenty of places to buy your products but if you are in the market for KINGS right now....

 

I wouldn't buy from anyone other than @Downsouth Motorsports, everyone else is basically giving you off the shelf valving whereas DSMS is gonna valve your shocks based on what you tell them you want to do with them. If you're cool with just the standard 'we valve these based on a stock truck thats gonna do a little bit of everything' then yeah, buy the cheapest off the shelf you can find

 

I just adjusted the Kings. I hope I never have to do that again. What a pain in the dick. But it sits good now. I may have to go a few more turns down just in case it doesn't settle any but we're right about dead center now. Rides a ton smoother and I actually have travel lol. That bumper on Brian's must have been heavy for this preload.

 

My front end feels a little floaty on the road, not very planted. Could increase in caster from UCA's help this? I have a set of total chaos just not installed yet. Or is all this just do to no sway bar and the UCA won't make a difference.

 

Increased castor makes me feel a bit more floaty, it likes to track on occasion, but yeah I'd say lack of sway bar is probably the leading cause

 

My alignment with 4* castor feels pretty solid but sometimes it can track weird depending on the road. In the wind it gets floaty though. I'd put the control arms on and see were you stand.

 

I see. Thanks guys. The coilovers have alot of miles on them. New springs maybe help a little?

 

Yeah, major PITA, you had to take them off, yes?

 

Yeah even then was still a bitch with the resi hose elbow.

Resi mounts King sent were for their newer versions that mount like icons. But obviously wouldn't work because my resi doesn't have the 90* fitting.

 

I have a set of the old mounts you are welcome to, not sure if they would work or not, but if you think they would they are yours.

 

those are the kind i need. Im waiting to hear from Brian, he ordered these direct from King so ill wait and see what they do today and get back to you!

 

What about getting these and welding them to the frame?

Assuming those old resi mounts dont work

 

brian offered those as well. I told him get the refund on the Kings unless they push sending out the correct ones and ill get these. I used these for the rear fox's.

I like them because they give the "floating" resi look. Im all for clean lines.

 

Those are an option too, I was going to use those on the frame when I went with the UCA gussets, as the bolt on ones wouldn't work anymore, but ended up using them on the gusset itself instead.

 

i will say these King resi mounts are beef as hell. Far beefier than Icons.

 

I used the SDHQ ones for my 2.0 rears. They are the only ones that actually stocked 2.0 mounts.
It helps that they are local to me also.

 

thats why i like Poly, its usually overnight because SLO is so close to me. Plus i have a friend who works there. Helps a bit.

BTW just noticed my center cap apparently had enough of my shit and took off.
