King Suspension 2nd Gen

I had clickers on my 4runner and used them so infrequently that I decided not to go with them on my new build. However, some people seem to very much enjoy them.

 

So we are looking at the following:

King 2.5 Coilover with adjusters
King 2.5 rear shocks
Icon Upper Control Arms
Dakar Leaf spring kit

And lastly bed stiffeners (which I will purchase later)

Anything else I need to know about?

@MattCowsmasher @kpnalder1 @ovrlndkull ?

 

Great setup, I have the same cept different ucas. You may want to look into new front/rear bump stops an extended rear brake lines later on.
Also double check your cam bolts on the lcas are not seized cause you won’t be able to get the truck aligned right.

 

I went with tune #3 from Thuren Fabrication which is middle of the road. They do 6 different tunes. The higher the number the rougher it will ride at low speed but smoother at the higher speeds and vice versa for lower tune #’s. I’m extremely happy with it and wouldn’t change a thing.

 

What does custom valved mean?

 

I have KING 2.5 non-adjusters front and rear with an icon AAL and have had great use out of the shocks, also have Total Chaos upper control arms. . Have gone at around 60-70MPH in the desert and have had a silky ride.

If i were to do it all over again, I would go with JBA upper control arms. No squeeking compared to the competition!

 

Nice truck

 

Basically, the shock has been taken apart and re-valved for your truck and your driving habit/style. If you are going to drive your truck more aggressively then of course the valving is going to be adjusted accordingly. High speed, low speed, crawling. These guys do quite a bit of R&D and drive vehicles pretty hard to figure out what works and doesn’t work. For example their stage 1 tune is going to be extremely soft and supple and not good for high speed. The best thing to do is figure out what you are going to use your truck for and you’re driving habit/style and go from there. The suspension I put on my truck suits what I do great and I did a lot of research before I pulled the trigger on anything. I knew that I would not be hauling heavy loads in the bed and did not need a stiff leave pack because of that. Hence the reason I went with the RXT on the lightest setting. I looked at other leaf packs out there and most of the feedback I got was that they rode pretty stiff with an empty bed. The most I ever haul in my bed or two dirt bikes. I do have a toy hauler tent trailer that I tow quite a bit during the summer and I put in sumo springs for the extra support just for towing that.

 

I would get the wheelers super bumps like suggested and wheelers U-bolt flip kit with superbumps for the rear. These aren't necessary but are nice

 

The wheeler super bumps in the front are almost a necissory. Lol. They make a huge difference over the stock bump stops. Definitely a well spent $65

 

Armor we are forgetting that also.

 

hahah I'll get there. One thing at a time!

 

Haha wait till holiday an tax season sales you can get a steep discount on stuff armor related.

 

Someone is coming tomorrow to pick it up!
