    Thank you!! Was a lot of work but I'm glad I got to do your build, it came out great!! I really enjoy taking the time to do a complete build with some fab mixed in.
    Looks AWESOME!!!!!

    I personally can not recommend @Downsouth Motorsports enough. They were absolutely a pleasure to deal with.

    I also really like @HeadStrong Off-Road, they were very helpful when I bought my original fox lift and are very knowledgeable.

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    Not sure about sales right now, but Filth Motorsports and/or Headstrong Off Road would be my choice.

    :oldglory:okay just ordered my full king set up looking to sit at 2-2.5 after settling. I believe I read somewhere that you can buy 14inch king coilover springs. That extra inch would give you an inch of lift so less preload on the Shock. Is this true? Thanks!:oldglory:

    I believe they come with 14inch springs standard now, I could be wrong.

    The spring rate probably has more to do with the height than the length if I had to guess. My 650# springs have settled between .25 and .5 inches, so I’m sitting between a 2.5 and 2.75 inch lift and I didn’t have to adjust my extended travel fronts at all.

    I don’t have he extended travel version would 2.5 inches of lift still be viable without running to much pre load?

    I have the standard 2.5's and running just under 2.5 lift no problems and not too much preload IMO. Once you get close to 3.0 inches you are at or near it's max.

    I think you’d be fine with 2.5 and still retain a great ride quality. I wouldn’t expect any issues.

    Finally got my King’s installed. Extended travel. 14” 650lb coils in the front. Longer mount installed by DownSouth. SPC upper control arms. Dakar medium duty leaf packs. Love how much better they look than my 5100’s. Set them at 11 and 9. Thinking about going up an extra notch or 2
