    Does anyone have information on how many threads should the coilovers show for 2in-2.5in lift (kingshock 2.5 extended travel) I’m unsure the exact height of my rear but I have a single deaver add a leaf 1.5-2in lift and I want to level out my truck but unsure of how many threads I should have showing, also I want to know how much more threads on the driver side to address the Tacoma lean. If anyone has any info and can help me out it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    There’s no exact answer to your question. Assuming your truck weighs about the same as a stock truck, the kings are at the factory preload setting (1/2” if I remember correctly), and you have 600 lb/in springs, they lift the front about 1”. If you want 2-2.5”, try adding another 1/2-3/4” of preload. Note that it is possible to adjust them after installation.

    Don’t worry about how many threads are showing, albeit I think there are about 5 per 1/2”.

    Roughly. 5 turns per inch.

    This is my setup which got me 2.75” ish of lift. 600 lbs springs.
