King vs. Everyone

This is another option I'm considering. Although I've been way lazy to go over to my local fab shop to get a quote.

 

YES! THIS IS THE POST I WAS LOOKING FOR! I'm so excitied I yelled it into the phone....but seriously, Thankyou man I'm deff getting kings now.
I'm going to do the build your own kit from DSMS
KING coilover
Total chaos uca
Bilstein 5100s
Dakkar leaf pack

 

Kings with Shackle lift in the back. Also check out my other post to see what the kings currently look like

 

Damn I am getting worried that the ome springs are gonna put the rear end way up in comparison to the kings on the front

 

I have them cranked to only about 1.5 in.

 

Oooo that's a relief. I wanted to go 2.75in on them. I know that's almost maxing but I think they will be fine

 

Here is my truck. Just got done putting Kings in the front and still have my OME Dakars on the rear. Sorry this is the only picture I have. This is also with 295/75r16 tires.

 

if you crank them to 2.5 you wont have much downtravel. might ride like crap. honestly my dads stock rides soo much nicer on the road.

 

Thats why its worth getting the ext travel version and a uca

 

If you could take more sometime soon I would appreciate it so much. That'll be the setup I want so it would really make it 100% clear. I hate that I'm so worried about looks but when im spending $2,500 on something I have to like everything 110% I know the performance will be there

 

Yes I planned on getting total chaos uppers and the ext travel option

 

I thought it was the actual arm and cv that was limiting it

 

I have a set for the front, I don't know what there set at but I'd say a little above stock.

I also don't know what kind of pictures you want....

 

I honestly think you'll be fine with dakars in the rear. It might ride a little higher out back. But they will peform great. You could even remove the overloads if you don't haul anything. That might drop it a hair plus ride even better from what I hear. But still look I to other options for leaf packs. Deavers might be the way to go. Cost more but are better paired with kings, also from what I hear.

 

shackles were super cheap.. you could do those for the time being i feel like they were under 100. and get your front end all set up. It was a pain putting them in and not sure how much is involved to put the uppers on too. Also not sure where your at but the exposed upper ball joints on the total chaos prob would have gotten destroyed by the salt where I was at.

 

Good info, Thankyou for all the information and help yall!

 

I didn't even think about removing leafs if necessary, that will help be dial it in perfect

 

South Texas man so no salt here. I feel like I really need the new leafs because my truck is 16 years old and could use them. I just want to do everything 100% so it's a 1 and done. Or at least try haha

 

I run your exact setup, including the 25001-153s in the rear. I spoke with a rep at King, they said do not exceed 2" in the rear if you don't relocate. That made me consider the dakar leaf pack and remove the third leaf. I have NOT done this, so I cannot confirm anything.

 

Good info - I'm pretty sure I'll be reloacting and at least getting a quote on a custom leaf pack. Local spring shop looks to be able to do just about anything.
