    Im thinking about picking up a set of Kings for my truck. as of now, its completely stock except for Bilstein 5100's with OME 887 coil springs. What is recommend when upgrading to kings? UCAS? new leafs also? next question, what is the difference between extended travel and oem travel? which one is better? How much better is the ride quality really?

    There was a thread on here recently of a 3rd gen with King 3.0 IBP's and bypasses on the rear, I would have done this if I hadn't just done my fox set up!

    Upgrades depend on what you plan on doing with the truck. Upper control arms are only necessary if you plan to lift the truck more than 2". Rear leaf pack also depends on height desired, ride quality, additional weight being carried, towing etc... Extended length coilovers have more travel, and WILL require an upper control arm. The EXT and standard coilovers are identical, one just doesn't have a limiting spacer inside. Ride quality is mostly from the valving, so we can make it ride as smooth as you want.

    3.0 IBPs are very very different than what the OP is asking about. IBPs and bypass shocks are very height sensitive and for a daily driver/weekend warrior it may not be the best choice. Depending on which Fox setup you got, it can work very well.
