    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    This. Without the weight of a plate bumper and winch, 700lbs springs are going to be stiff.

    Did you keep the stock upper control arms? And about how much lift did you end up doing?

    Used springs will run anywhere from $80-$150. New $200 for two. Need a floor or wall mounted spring compressor to change the coils out on these. Any auto shop should have one and will charge $50-$100 to swap both. I’ve got a pair of 600 lb springs brand new for sale :transformer:

    Anyone order their kings from headstrong off-road? They have the ones with adjusters for 1700 and that’s the cheapest I’ve been able to find them but there’s to part number to be sure they’re the right ones

    can someone tell me exactly what i would need for full king set up front and back with adj and whatever else for this 3 in lift if i go this route? Including leaf pack. I will not be carrying any weight front or back and want some rake still. Also will it ride smoother than the 18 trd pro suspension on road?

    Ha. I completely misread @MT_TACO16. 1700 sounds like a good deal. Wheelers quoted me 2555 for all 4 shocks with adjusters.

    Wheelers and Headstrong have very similar prices. Although one can be cheaper than the other depending on your local sales tax.

    Was that before or after the King price bump?? Either way, that's better than the before and after prices that Wheelers quoted me for Extended travel with RR and adjusters for front and rear...

    Everyone with them will say yes, and everyone without them will probably say no. That being said, I will probably order them with adjusters when my time comes lol.
