Mid travel overland-wheeler build with 35's and BS w/ SAS in the works

The 700# coils are hard to compress and the ones you can rent at Vatozone are sketch as fawk.

You need to find a local shop with a compressor. Remove them yourself and take them to be done.

This is how I would do it.

 

Wait the Kings don't come assembled as 1 unit?

 

Here you can use ratchet straps

No.

 

Yes they do but he bought 700s

 

They do but he's swapping springs. Like say you had 885's and switched to 887's

 

I didn't know you could do that on the Kings. I though they were just adjustable. We are talking about these things right?

 

They don't work like that. The top of the coil doesn't set in the coil bucket. Its sets underneath a collar that's threaded on the shock. Look at a pic of some and you'll understand.

 

Thats basically what they look like yes lol but yeah you can swap out springs to a heavier duty spring just like you can, but we are also fully adjustable

 

Yes you compress the springs, the bottom cup slides of the shaft, un compress springs.

 

I would like to keep my fingers

 

Gotcha cool. Thanks guys learn something everyday. I can pretty much definitively day I will never be able to afford kings. Then again I've never had the pleasure of riding in a truck with them so luckily I don't know the difference or I'm sure I would be running out to buy some.

 

I'm just wanting to go to a stiffer spring. Say you have 885's and wanted to go to 886's

 

I'll take them to a shop then next weekend and focus on cutting this weekend

 

The derp is strong in ya'll. I've never heard of that and my 63s did great at URE on plenty of obstacles. Plus I didn't have any shocks with them for a few weeks and did a couple wheeling trips. I could see if you do the swap wrong and your axle isn't centered perfectly.

 

Ya'll just need to admit that you didn't go 63s is because you're too sceeeered to cut up your rear end

 

Well the leaf springs haha

 

Hey no derp here that's what I was thinking I never said they weren't reliable I'd never heard of this happening very often before today.

 

Nah it's not that. I guess I didn't do enough research then
