    Hey everyone.
    So just picked up a Kings with 700lb springs and rear with Dakar standard leaf pack, bump stops and camburg uca. I've been doing research trying to find out where to start off with the height adjustment.

    From my understanding they come from the factory preloaded at about an inch for 3rd gen Tacoma. I'm thinking I'd like to get it to 2.5" ish lift to level and take care of the lean. So my math said roughly 8 turns on the driver and 6 on the passenger. Does that sound about right?
    The truck is a 2019 DCOR will have sliders, 285/75/16 tires with a bed rack and rtt soon. Skids and possible a bumper in spring.

    Thanks.

    Yeah wondering if I made a mistake going with the 700lb springs. Just trying to plan ahead. They haven't shipped yet, maybe I should make a change.

    Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it. I had ome on my fj and that was stiff af but I can deal with it. Trying to find the best in between, good ride and performance. Figure that 2.5 is a good place to start. I got the standard leaf springs after talking to wheelers. They said basically when I'm ready I can just toss in the aal to make them hd. Figure that wouldn't be too bad.

    #700 springs, how much additional weight in accessories do you have? Those springs, with Dakar leaf pack will be a very stiff ride without a tremendous amount of added weight. It's common for people to add a heavier rate spring to try and fix soft shock valving.

    Currently not much, sliders, bed rack and tent. Will have bumper, winch and skids in spring. I was trying to plan ahead so I didn't have to swap springs after I add a few things. I thought the 600 was too light to build from.

    It’s gonna be sriff with a 700 lb spring in the meantime. With a 600 lb spring 8 turns driver 6 turns passenger will usually get you around 2.5-2.75” lift I would go 4 turns driver 2 turns passenger with a 700 lb spring and try that
