    I was gonna do 700's on my kings when i ordered mine, but i was also trying to get more height with less preload to retain more suppleness..

    You are correct. I'm just curious what others have done as I don't want to crank up the preload and ruin the ride but stiff springs will be just as bad. Seems like a lot of folks go for the 700s.

    Did you order them? How do you like them?

    Mine rides decently. I would guess I have maybe 1''-1.5'' of preload which gives me like 2''-2.5'' of lift in the front or so? Definitely rides like a truck though.

    But with your bumper and other weight up front it should be fine.

    guys, spending almost 2 hrs trying to find a Army member here who works on Ft. Belvoir with a MGM taco who did a BAK G2 cover review and install, I remember he talked about modding it to get a better seal, cant find him (forgot name) and or his post.

    I sent him some PMs in the past but they are gone and cant track this dudes thread down.

    Depends on time of the day. If you get on 495 during rush hour (3PM - 6PM ish) you will be hitting traffic ... and if you are going south on i95 ... get ready for a nightmare if you get to Lorton after 3PM until very late in the evening (9-10PM)

    I'd opt for 64. (you risk issues on 95 (fredericksburg to springfield) on your way up to 495)

    Thanks guys. I was heading up there between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. I think I will take the advice of going on 64.

    Since I am not allowed to put a post in the 3rd Gen Market Thread since they are still technically on the truck I figured I would post here as a "feeler" thread. This weekend 12/11/15 I will have all for of my tires and TRD OR wheels that came stock with the truck pulled off and for sale. I will NOT be including the TPMS sensors. But will include lug nuts to include a set of locking with key. Looking for no less than $1200 for everything. Would prefer to not have to deal with shipping if possible. They have only 1500 miles on them. Private Message to chat I'd rather not have some bidding wars or something on here as I've seen that in far too many sale threads it gets ugly quick. Thanks.

Also where are some good trails in the NoVA area everyone recommends paid or free? Only legal ones please thanks.
