    Before adjusting Kings, they only lift it around 1".

    Too many to remember
    Run 600lbs coils with them all the way un cranked and it will just look leveled. Most pics you see on here are with a bunch of preload cranked in. Without the preload it will look good on a stock wheel setup

    I run 265s on Kings. Stock size but not highway tires so maybe not what you were looking for.

    2-3 threads showing on the collars up front so about 1". No lift in the rear. That pic may be slightly misleading as it literally had just come off the jacks after the install so it hadn't settled at all.

    Did you do the lift yourself? If so, did you follow any guides?

    Yeah I did. The Kings come with a couple pages of instructions so you can follow those. Watch this in the mean time to get an idea of what the front looks like. Just skip the part where he removes the UCA if you aren't doing UCA's. Also, the rear lower shock mounts need to be ground down a little to fit the new shocks so be prepared for that.

    If you’ve got a couple jack stands, a jack, and some basic hand tools, you can install the lift yourself. It’s very easy.

    I was thinking of doing the same setup on my stock wheels and tires for now but I was wondering what more I would need to upgrade to 33s later on down the line. I know it would need uca and a bmc but is there anything else I would need. Would it be as simple as just taking it to a shop, have the bmc done, adjusting the collars and getting tires installed ect
