    I'm in the process of finishing the install of a DSM mid-travel on my 2007 OR DCSB. I bought the King coil-overs with compression adjustment for the front with Total Chaos UCAs. For the back I got the OME / Dakar springs with adjustable comp Kings to go with.

    I talked to King about how to adjust the height on the coil-overs. They are great, and have been very helpful to this noob. They are telling me that 3" inches of lift is too much, and will negatively affect the ride. How far can I push the front height without having a bad ride? Can I get close to level with this setup?

    I just heard back from the wonderful people at King. I believe they thought I had the OEM replacement King shocks. I clarified that I have the extended travel shocks and UCAs. I assume this will allow me to go to 3" inches higher. How far can I go? How far has anyone gone to level with rear Dakars?

    Ive got the same setup and am sitting close to if not level. I'm sitting at 24" from center hub to fender on both driver and passenger. That being said the ride isn't great and I'm afraid I might actually be doing more harm than good. Cv angle is beyond horrible. I highly advise against going more than 2.75". Im planning on lowering it back down this weekend regardless of how much I love the way it looks leveled out
