    Unless you plan on going through the bed with 14" shocks there isn't really much benefit to chevy 63's... You have to strap the rear and the same point my leaf packs are flexed out with 12" shocks.

    Don't do that dude those things are super dangerous. Just use the weight of the vehicle to compress the coil using a jack under the LCA. Then remove the top shock nut and lower the LCA with the Jack and remove the coil and shock. Do the opposite to install.

    I don't think you can do that with coilovers.

    Completely remove the stock coil and shock. Remove the three bolts on top holding the coil seat into the shock mount. Bolt in the King up top and run the bolt into the LCA and then Use a jack underneath the LCA to compress until you are able to connect the LCA to the hub. I've never run kings personally but that is my basic understanding of them. May want to have someone who runs them chime in though.
