Mid Travel BS 2.0

Must be the long travel kings that don't. Mine didn't and one of my friends didn't get it.

 

They must figure you still have one from when you got stock replacement Kings

 

I guess. Lucky for me I had mid travel kings before but not everyone does

 

Here I thought everyone went MT first. I was never going LT. Now here I am seriously thinking of doing a +2 kit.

 

Go big or go home bro. +36''

 

Sweet. But a bit too wide for our trails in the East.

 

I got bilsteins as my first lift and DSM sent me a King booklet and I thought "why'd they send this, im never spending that kind of money"... 3 months later I bought MT kings. A year later I bought LT kings. Next year ill be buying 16" kings for rear 3 link, 2 years from now ill be buying 14" kings for a SAS.

 

Dibs on +2 kit

 

We'll see when the time comes haha might be later than 2 years. Depends when I finish school

 

I might have a good source on axles.

 

Ohh very interested.. planning on keeping oem rear and just running 37's.

 

I should be able to get matching sets of ford 3/4 ton and i believe 1tons.

 

Same here.

 

So now that I have King in the front I'm now looking to match the rear. As most of you know, the 25001-121 oem replacement kings for the rear are rather short at 15.83"-24.29". I've talked with @Downsouth Motorsports and found out that they can add a +1" rod end to the lower mounts which I'll assume yields a 16.83"-25.29" collapsed/extended dimension but will limit up travel. I currently have the icon 3 leaf aal with the tsb pack but am going to upgrade to either Dakars with the second leaf removed or the all pro standard pack (no added bed weight).

I came across the King oem replacements for the Tundra, part #25001-144 which have are 15.75"-25.88" which sounds like it would work perfect for a Tacoma with any leaf pack assuming the top and bottom mounts will fit and they are re valved for a taco. Top looks like the same stem mount and the bottom looks the same but I'm not sure about about the mounting width. Tacomas are 1.25" wide with a 12mm bolt. Has anyone ever tried this?

Are these the fenders that do not support flares.. Will they fit a 4WD crew cab? I think i've read somewhere on here fellers running these to assist in fitting 35s. If not, I plan on trimming stock.

I know people put in Tundra bilsteins and they work well. Don't worry about loosing up travel with the 1" extended tip, you'll need your bump stop to hit so you don't rub your fenders before you bottom the shock out.

 

I have the OEM replacements with the 1" longer rod end was pleasantly surprised to find that they match the Dakar leaf pack travel quite nicely with the weight and mods I have. I had to put a 3/8" spacer on my super bumps but otherwise they are great. Travel isn't anything to be excited about but the dampening blows the OME shocks I had out of the water.

 

I forgot to mention that I won't be able to upgrade the pack for probably a few months. DSM is offering 10% off right now which I'd like to take advantage of. Just seems like the Tundra oem replacement Kings have an ideal stroke range for damn near any leaf pack, so I'm wondering why I haven't seen this idea pop up.

 

Perhaps cause a lot of guys go with a relocate and 12s?

 

You'll pretty much just be gaining bump travel which won't be usable with an soa setup. You will gain about .75" of droop travel but will need to have the shocks revalved and have to figure out resivoir mounts. As stated above most guys just end up going bamf or small shock hoops and running 12's
