After three tacomas, decided to lift the 4th gen. King shocks, Icon Rear Overlander Spring

King OEM kit for the 4th gen.
Front: King P/N 25001-408A
Rear: King P/N 25001-409A
Rear Spring: ICON Overlander spring
UCA: Elevate - sorry dont have a P/N

First impressions, its wonderful. I had it installed at a 4WP that my buddy is the manager.
The rear lift from the icon overlander spring is SIGNIFICANT, literally a solid 2.5-3in lift over stock without weight in the back. However, thats what I was looking for as i routinely have 1-2 dirtbikes in the back.

The Fronts are currently set to roughly +2.0 - 2.5in knowing they will settle a little bit after some use.

For the road, they feel good now that i backed off the compression adjustments all the way around. They are definitely a drastic improvement over stock, and give a massive confidence boost. They truck does not have as much body roll, and overall feels so composed.

Ill do a YT video once i get to take it out in some dirt and find a good spot to bracket them.

 

Lifted long box looks soooo good!!

 

Man that things looks good. Mind care sharing price you paid part/ labor?

 

Good looking truck! Sounds like you made smart choices with the upgrades.

 

How about a first born child

 

I resisted going full retard on this one. within a year of my brand new 05 i had kings all the way around and another year later LT with kings all around. there really is nothing liks a set of kings to give you confidence to drive faster... they are soo much easier to revalve and rebuild as well. now im having second thoughts going with eibach.... lol

 

Thanks! I needed the long bed for the dirtbike, plus longer wheelbase always better!

Thanks! Unfortunately out of respect for the homie I cant share the price, but it was still expensive!

Thank you! I try to use my brain once in a while. I love the tacomas the rear was just waaaay to soft for me to actually use for what i need a truck for. At first i was just going to do some stiffer rear springs but after discussing with the offroad shop and going down the tacomaworld and reddit wormhole i decided to buy once cry once.

They ride super good! I like them a lot, i need to find more folks in So-Cal to go wheeling with though to get this thing out on the dirt. I plan to hit a local trail Friday though. Hopefully you can still enjoy your truck with the eibachs!

 

We hit up the Cleghorn exit up the 15 freeway. It’s a quick drive from Orange County and then we take the extra credit runs off the main trail to make it spicy. This trail has bit me before and I had to replace my gas tank from the damage.
I need to lift my truck as I’m dragging the rock sliders and the frame rails over large rocks..!

 

I've heard good things about cleghorn, I've gone up there with the dirt scooter but never had a lifted truck. I would be down to get my feet wet wheeling there. Its my daily tho, so I have to keep that in mind!

 

theres silverado canyon on OC as well. From lake irvine to ortega hwy. Nothing difficult but i had a lot of fun testing on that loop. sometimes twice a day. and evey 4th of july....

 

Buddies dad had a stock H3. didnt make some of the more complicated sections of the trail. the running boards kept screwing him. And 2500 chevy hd long beds, yeah they dont belong on that trail....lol
