    **I'm sure this question has been asked a hundred times but I want to make sure.

    My 2011 Tacoma 4x4 with 2011 King coilovers w/ remote resi's is currently preloaded to about 5/8" of threads showing above the collar. I am running 700lb springs due to my pelfreybilt bumper. Does anyone know the exact amount of rotations to 1 inch of lift? Ive heard and seen so many different responses to this question. My end goal is to have 3" of lift in the front and I am not looking for the "bro lean".

    There's no telling exactly how many it's going to take. Set aside a couple hours and raise it up by a couple of threads, drive around and settle it, check it again until you have it where you want it. How many turns it takes depends on a lot of factors, weight distribution, spring rate, shock specs, etc. Even if someone chimes in with their exact amount it's only going to be a starting place for your individual truck. You will likely still have to test it a adjust and couple of times.
