    Trying this here...

    Have one of the 6" fabtech drop bracket lifts with the dirt logic coilovers on an 06 DCLB. I'm not super keen on the long travel route as I like the 6 inch height, but would like to explore options of suspension that I can soften up the ride a bit.

    My question is. Is this possible through King Shocks that I can adjust front and rear? Open to other suspension options as well.

    P.s. to the dudes who are going to say there is info on here.. google that shit... I have. Not getting the specific answer I'm looking for.

    Thanks in advance.

    That’s probably part of the rough ride you’re experiencing. I would look into a full leaf pack replacement. I’m also not sure if dirt logic coilovers are progressive or digressive. You want progressive for a softer ride, which kings and fox are.

    The Fox and King shocks can be tuned to provide a nice ride on 6" lifted applications.

    Just like the standard mid travel shocks it is important that you don't lift them too high.

    I also have blocks in the rear. They're probably causing at least 90% of your issue. Getting adjustable coilovers in the front that are the right length for your lift will also help. So just like other guys have said, get a full leaf pack that gives you the amount of lift you want, then get the right length shocks in the rear and coilovers for the front. Kings are probably the way to go if you want to fork over that money.

    Problem with big ass springs on a 6" lift in the rear is it makes the ride rougher. Add a leaf's and leaf packs on mid sized trucks never translates to smooth. This is why its a block lift, sometimes with traction bars.

    It's lose lose. I'd stick to shocks and lowering tire pressure.

    I guess my biggest question is.. does king make a direct replacement thats tunable that replaces the dirt logic coilovers?

    Could someone from accutune pm me about what equipment i would need to accomplish what im after and an estimate to do so?
