Best options for stock suspension replacement?

Howdy everyone,

My stock tires are finally nearing their end and so it's time to upgrade. I've just ordered a new set of 17" TRD Pro wheels and am about to pull the trigger on some 265/70/17 C BFG KO2's.
I already have a bunch of armor weighing down the front end (BAMF LCA skids, AllPro IFS skid & apex sliders) and not sure how much longer the stock suspension will hold out..
So, I'm interested in adding new coilovers and a new rear leaf pack to help level things out without a ton of lift (3" or less). This is my daily driver (city/highway) however I do live in CO and go off-road and into snow at least once a month. If cost is not a consideration and I'm mainly concerned with maintaining a fairly stock feeling ride, what are my best options?

Thank you all in advance and GO..!

 

What is your budget?

I can get you a set of King 2.5 Coilovers with 700lb springs ( for your added weight up front ) at a great price! Possibly pair it with our Boxed UCA!

Let me know!

Thanks

What's the price of a set of kings Jt

 

PM sent!

Thanks JT,

1) So that is a 2.5" coilover w/ a 3.0" spring correct?
2) What would be the cost w/ and w/o the UCA's??
3) Also, how would we calculate the Spring load/height necessary (i.e. 150lb spring, 200lb..) to achieve a <3" overall lift???
4) Are there reputable dealers/installers you would recommend to have them installed/aligned/balanced????

Thanks again and sorry for all of the additional questions as I am fairly new to all of this..

1) So that is a 2.5" coilover w/ a 3.0" spring correct? The 2.5" is the diameter of the coilover, no the spring.
2) What would be the cost w/ and w/o the UCA's?? I will PM you the pricing.
3) Also, how would we calculate the Spring load/height necessary (i.e. 150lb spring, 200lb..) to achieve a <3" overall lift??? We will swap out the spring to give because of the added weight you have up front. To achieve 3" with just the coilover is possible but it will give you a really stiff ride because of the preload but also, your geometry and CV will be thrown off. I would recommend staying at 2-2.5".
4) Are there reputable dealers/installers you would recommend to have them installed/aligned/balanced???? This is a very straight forward kit that any reputable mechanic can do the job. This is a direct bolt on kit.

 

What is the measurement from the center of your hub to the inner fenderwell if you want a 3" lift from your coil over? When I had my Bilstein/Eibach 3"combo it was 23". I just bought Icon ext travel coil overs and I have Camburg UCA's but need to know what the correct reading would be to have a 3" lift w/ these Icons. Right now they're sitting @24"

 

I don't have that specific number as of now because we never maxed out the Coilover for any of our installs.

Give Icon a call and they should have some #'s for you.
