    Question guys, when i first installed my total chaos UCA’s and kings, the uca’s hit the spring at full droop. I read a thread on tw that it was a matter of rotating the spring, which I did and it helped. Well I’m not sure if it rotated back from making height adjustments or what, but it’s hitting again. Any of you going through that or went through it?

    Quick question... every time you adjust the coil overs do you need an alignment afterwards?

    Yes as it changes the camber on the front end and can also change the caster and toe. However if it is only a little, a couple of turns, then it might not effect the alignment a huge amount, but it will change. The alignment shop will tell you to get it realigned.

    Has anybody mounted a CBI T3 front bumper with Kings?

    Got 2 different answers as to where the frame support brackets go when I spoke with CBI - just trying to verify if I need to mount bumper frame piece over or under the reservoir bracket near the sway bar. Thanks -

    Hey guys. I'm looking at suspension upgrade on my '17 OR. I was set on Bilstein 6112/5160 combo, but since they are backordered without any eta, I started researching some more, and Kings look like an awesome choice. Especially since my wife (who was getting fed up with how undecided I was) is going to buy front COs for me! Yupp, she's a keeper!! :thumbsup:
    Now, to make look and ride great, I think I'll get kings in the rear as well. And that's where my dilemma begins... I'm getting Dakar el095r leafs, planning on Super bumps or Timbren stops. DSM makes longer rear shocks, which should work better with Dakars, so will I have to adjust the Bump stops, since the shocks will fully collapse an inch sooner?? Or just forget it, and get standard length ones??
    Another thing is about front spring rate. I have full armor (steel skids) , including 120 lbs sliders. I'm planning on hybrid bumper and winch, maybe next year (that will also include larger/heavier battery)... I'm thinking that 650 lbs springs might be a better choice, right??
    After reading last few pages, I'm pretty sure I'll avoid uniball UCAs, especially since it's my DD. I was thinking of SPC LRs, but after doing a bit more research, I think JBAs might be IT!
    Just curious, is anyone using King bump stops?
    Thanks for your imput

    I’m set after greasing my UCAs. They no longer squeak. But if I were to go back I’d probably either get delta joints or jbas. Delta joints are pricey though. Great choice though with Kings.:thumbsup:

    I also have the OME 95r also with standard travel kings in the rear with no problems. You getting the compression adjusters on your kings?
