King Shocks Group Buy - Closed

I'm also in for the whole El Fenix Enchilada special if it's a good deal!

 

Trying to finalize my order- anyone have input on what coil weight to use for my access cab with a steel Pelfreybilt bumper? I was thinking 650# but I don't want to underestimate the weight.

 

Which hoop configuration and you going with winch and lights?

 

Center hoop, Rigid D2 fogs, no plans for a winch yet. I'm just scared to go to 700# because I've heard people with a winch and bumper complain of a hard ride. And my access cab is a hair on the lighter side over a double cab.

 

2017 TRD ORDC

Ok I have 400lbs added with steel
Tank skid
Rear diff skid
LCA skids
Tranny skid
Front diff skid
Front skid
Front bumper
Smitybuilt 12k winch w/synthetic rope
What shock setup will work and possibly bring me back up. And size of springs?

 

650# should be just fine

 

I opted for the 650lb springs and I have zero added weight on the front. Probably will be a while before I add any weight up front. Would 650 be too stiff of a ride; if so should i go for 600lb instead?

 

It will be a little stiff but not too bad. I use to ride on 650 before I went LT. If you plan to get more weight in the future you might as well get it now than pay more later.

 

I'm in...please add me to the list. I have PM'd DSMS. Thanks.

 

If your running steel and a winch 700
Is the recommendation

 

Help help??

 

I don't think the shocks particularly matter, as the coilovers, standard or extended, offer the same lift range, but you'll want a 700# coil based on my research.

 

My knee jerk reaction is to say 750 based on that laundry list of weight but I'm still stock up front so what do I know? Have you called/emailed/PM'd DSMS or King? I'm sure they've dealt with your scenario about 972 times.

 

Yes I did to the OP. but asked here as well. There's a lot of eyes on here and only 1 OP and he may be busy. Thanks for your help.

 

Man! You don't need a truck! You need a tank!!!

 

Protecting the ride

 

I just heard back from DSM and they recommend 650 spring rates for the 3rd Gens with no extra weight up front. I guess the 3rd gens have extra weight up front compared to the 2nd gens.

Also DSM verified that EVERYONE will be charged on the 10th.

 

I think you'll be fine with 700lb coils in the front. I have pretty much the exact same armor (minus LCA skids, but that's unsprung weight) with 700lb coils, and my front end still doesn't compress that much with two fat dudes hanging off of the front bumper.

 

Im interested

 

And just for everyone else's info, DSMS suggested 650's for my 2nd Gen w/ steel bumper. So probably 600 with no weight up front on a 2nd Gen.
