    Most of the time when I off road the bed is empty and I prefer the softer suspension.

    So I finally got my kings installed (pics on the way).. Alignment was off, so I got that taken care of shortly after. I've been keeping on eye on my nuts / bolts for a few day now. I noticed today some have shifted a bit. So I'm getting ready to re-torque those that have shifted, but I'm curious if the torque values for these aftermarket kits are different than oem. Surprisingly, the instructions provided by King didn't have any torque values.

    What did you torque values did you use for the:

    Top bolts
    bottom bolt
    Spring collar

    ?

    Thanks,

    Here are some pics. Ended up with a 3" lift. Ride quality was well worth the money!

    Have you had any problems using the stock UCA's?

    Ok, I'm about to pull the plug on these kings with adjusters. Anyone with a sport give me a comparison compared to stock on road? Currently have dealer readylift.

    It looks like you're not running much lift. I'm hoping for 2.25 to match the current lift.

    I'm on 14" springs with 650 spring rates that's why it's not preloaded. Standard is 13" springs and 600 spring rates.
    I'm lifted to 2.5"
