    Just got my extended travel king’s with 650# springs installed last night, but had to wait till today to get a complete photo since it got dark before we finished last night.

    I paired the kings with Dakar EL095R leaf springs. The fronts I didn’t even touch, just left them as they were from the factory. The front looks like it sits a little higher than the rear currently, but I’m sure it’ll settle a little.

    I’ll get some exact measurements when the rain stops and edit this post.

    Edit for measurements (Hub to Fender):

    25inches on the front
    25inches on the rear.

    So it looks like it sits perfectly level according to my tape measurer.

    I couldn’t be happier with this king setup currently. I’m honestly not sure why I waited this long to buy them.

    At the risk of asking a stupid question, I haven’t been able to locate any information regarding my question.

    I have a 2017 DCSB 4wd SR5 and will be installing King coilovers in the front (ext), with SPC uca, and king remote reservoir shocks in the rear with a deaver stage 1 leaf pack replacement.

    My question, has anyone run into issues with the install that required more parts: carrier bearing drop, axel shims (what degree), ECGS bearing? How did the alignment go after? What should I expect?

    Thank you for the help.

    I installed the carrier bearing drop and the ECGS bushing while I installed my kings this past weekend. It was more preventative than anything from the research I had done. Since I had everything apart, figured I’d do those things as well.

    After 2ish weeks I’m still loving the kings. Absolutely incredible suspension.

    I’ve been seeing people talk about CV angles being pretty rough if the truck is lifted “too high”. It got me thinking about my angles today when I got to work.

    What does everyone think of the CV’s on my truck? Personally they don’t alarm me, but I’m no expert.

    They seem ok but a little hard to tell. From what I've read, as long as the boot ribs are not touching each other when tires are pointed straight and sitying level you should be fine. Otherwise they will rub each other and wear out prematurely.

    Gotcha. I’m not seeing any of the boot ribs touching so I guess they’re fine. I’m not too concerned, but figured I’d ask.

    Here is mine with new Kings. My build thread in my signature has ALL the details. I did the full lift with rear shock relo. Thanks to Jason @Speed Freek it came out perfect! Looks like it's right from the factory. He does such an awesome job..............
