    Ah, maybe it's just Icon that sends out different sized spacers, I know when I had them they were different sized and had to be installed in a certain way to properly space the bottom of the shock from the boot. I thought I heard the other shock manufacturers did the same.

    I had icons before the kings and this is true. King has the same size misalignments front and rear

    Yeah it's a bummer, sounds like when they tried to get as much clearance as possible they shifted the LCA too high

    The messed up issue here is that when I called LSK and spoke to Ryan Chappell he said there were no issues with the other LSK stock length lowers that were installed and they were running identical setups with kings and 4x4 to me. I call BS on this.

    The only other setup I have seen with these lowers is what looks to be a drop bracket lifted 4x4..

    Definitely, I can't see those allen bolts through the uniball would ever clear properly, there's barely any clearance with a correct bolt. Good luck getting this shit show sorted out. :annoyed:

    I think LSK just designed these up for a prerunner and didn’t actually test these out on a 4x4. I guess I’m the test dummy hEre

    Here’s the reply from LSK after I informed them of the first issue with the uniball bolt.

    The dirt Kings still have way more clearance.

    The issue was on their LT arms at full droop.

    Ah ok. You can see the LSK arms have no bend in them. That bend def helps clear the cv axle

    The funny thing is that I purposely went with LSK because the dirt kings were taking a couple days longer than LSK

    That billet adapter from LSK appears to hold the uniball too high.

    2-3 washers should bring that low enough to clear the CV and uniball bolt.

    LSK needs to redesign the bracket.

    I think that would make it worse, it needs to be spaced farther from the spindle/CV. If you're desperate throw some washers and see how much spacing it needs to clear. I wouldn't offroad with a bunch of washers in there but you should be able to DD it with proper torque and thread locker until the issue is correctly addressed
