    Ok I first had fox 2.0 ifp setup on my truck front and rear with remote resi in the rear as well as the icon rxt leaf pack (with the additional leaf out). I loved how the ride quality was because anything is better then stock. However, the fox’s did not sit level as was hoping they would. I recently decided to update to kings 2.5 all around as well as spc UCA to try and achieve a leveled look. I have 13 threads showing in the front on each side. The truck looks great but the right in the front is terrible. It’s stiff, bottoms out very easily, and is just not fun the drive. I’m writing to see if anyone else is running the same setup. I’d rather have better ride quality over looks but I’m wondering if it’s due to the leafs adding to much lift in the rear or if the front shocks are not set right. I don’t carry much in the bed so weight dosnt really play a factor. As well as no front bumper. Is there something I’m missing or is it just the leafs. I see videos on YouTube of people adding a leaf to their stock leaf pack and getting a leveled look with only 10 threads showing. ‍♂️
    However the leaf only raised the rear about 1 3/4”.

    anything will help.

    thanks

    Not sure on the exact measurement from hub but it’s about 39” from ground to bottom of fender. The rxt leads from icon come with an additional leaf that I did not include. I went with option 1 upload_2021-3-5_22-12-43.jpg

    I will measure from the hub cap tomorrow. As for the spring they are 600lb springs. Front is stock nothing new. I will be adding sliders soon.

    Measure from the top of the King shocks to the center of the lower shock bolt, while the truck's weight is fully on the ground. This distance should not exceed 21".

    You need to reduce preload until you're 21" or less.

    Ok I’ll try that and see. I know the ride quality will be better as well. Just did it for the leveled look. Thank you all for your help!
