3rd Gen Owners with King Coilovers

The winning wheel/suspension combo, and the use of the og valve stems

 

Thank you!

 

Time to bite the Kings bullet. Who's got the best deals for non adjustables?

 

Some companies can give you a little price break, but not everyone can tune them to your needs. I would definitely contact @AccuTune Offroad and see what they can do for you.

 

Thanks, just sent them a message and hopefully we could get the ball rolling.

 

Thanks! We will custom valve the shocks specific to your trucks weight and how you plan on driving it. Street, high speed desert or trails we will tune them accordingly. We do not just send shocks out with standard valving. Those services ($80-100/per shock) comes free with purchase, plus free shipping to lower 48.

I don't have any messages from you, please send again! Thanks

 

Sent to instagram but looks like shipping is the problem. Thanks anyway.

 

replied, lets see what we can do.

 

For those who live in areas where salt is used on the roads how have your Kings held up? Also do you apply anything to protect them?

 

here you go

 

Ouch

 

Been a while since I posted

 

How's them StopTechs compared to the factory brakes? You have a link to the part numbers?

 

It’s a must ( IMO) if you’re rolling with big tires and gear.

Checkout: sosperformance.com I purchased the 6piston BBK with rotors. They also discounted 20% for being a TW member.

From other responses to this question, it sounds like the front coilovers SHOULD be okay, but just to be sure...

I'd like to purchase extended travel King 2.5s (front and rear) without changing anything else right now. Just dial in a mild 1-1.5" lift up front to level things out, and to get better damping than the ridiculously underdamped TRDOR Bilsteins. Are there any conflicts, particularly in the rear? Are the extended travel shock bodies too long for the stock mounting locations?

I'll do UCAs and new leaf packs down the road.

 

You DO need an after upper control arm with extended length coilovers. They allow for more droop than the 0-2" coilovers, which will cause binding at that balljoint at full droop. You could get the 0-2" coilovers now, and have them modified later to be an extended length coilover when you upgrade the control arms. Only difference btw the 0-2" coilovers and extended length is an internal spacer.

 

Thanks for the quick answer. Good to know it's as as easy as removing the internal spacer to get that droop travel later on.

I should be able to run the rear extended travel with the stock leafs though, right?

By the way, I definitely plan to purchase from Accutune when ready. I appreciate that you guys take the time to answer questions in this forum.

 

Yah just add some longer brake lines just to be sure

 

I ran the extended version for awhile without lifting the rear. And no need to add longer brake lines. I’m currently lifted 1.5” in the rear with extended shocks with plenty of slack on the brake lines. I posted a pic on this thread before on how it sits though and it seems like barely any shaft showing but it’ll be good.
