    So the king 3.0s are going to be a little different than the 2.5s. Less thread/lift. I measured off about 1.1” of thread showing on my king 3.0s. The king 3.0s also come with a 550 spring. Just throw them on the truck with maybe 1/2 inch and adjust it. It’s pretty easy to adjust them on the truck.

    @hirod My buddy @Tacomania is rocking Kings with his Pelfreybilt Bumper. His bumper was already mounted up, but later Installed the bumper supports. Just remove the reservoir brackets and install the bumper supports under the reservoir mounts using the longer bolts from king.

    like @mcharfauros noted it does not, ill try and get pics for you and upload. i dont think icons would be any different unless their mounts are different, which i wouldnt think they would be. I just saw that @Toki is a perfect example, mine are the same...

    thanks. picture worth thousand words. I'll give that a try. icon mounts are sheetmetal so they can squeeze in between the frame and brace.

    installed mine this weekend. used same spring compressed length measurement to set the springs in the king's (i used icon springs because they're black) and got the ride height same as before. no adjustments needed. reused the icon resevoir holder in front because i have a project in mind for the king's. surprised i could tell the difference between the kings and icons.

    Hey guys need some help for suspension.. I’m going to get some King 2.5s front and rear + UCA’s and extended brake lines. Should I get a leaf pack as well like OME or Deaver? I’m wanting about a 2in lift all around

    I off-road a good bit and don’t tow or haul anything in the bed besides my dirt bike every so often

    Also anything else I should add suspension wise?

Shasta Summit Series Roof Top Tent RCI Full Skids Tacoma OEM Bed Mat TRD Pro Grill Husky X-Act Contour Floor Liners
    Both the ome Dakar’s will give 2.75” of lift. The HD’s support 660 lbs additional weight, the mediums do not. But you can take a leaf out of the HD’s to make it a medium, and they are not much more. Deavers are going to cost more, but the j66 only provide 1.5” of lift. The u402s will give you 3” and start at 300-400 lbs additional weight with options 700+lbs.

    I’d replace the oem bumpstops and flip the ubolts too

    Awesome thank you, 2.75” is a bit more than I’m looking for, I might go with the Deavers for 1.5”
