    I think you have to remove the uca spindle bolt though. Still easy though

    Got it adjusted to about 3/4 inch of threads showing, 5 full turns brought the truck up about an inch, so now I have about 1 1/2 inch of rake which is perfect. I'll test out the ride quality this weekend. Does anyone have alignment numbers for these? Here is what the shop got me to.

    Where can I order the T-Handle? Ive always felt the front of my truck is too low, I have 2.5" EXT KINGS with 700lb springs, when I ordered from DSM all I received was the 3/16" punch, so will i just jack up the truck by the crossmember, unbolt the upper control arm from the knuckle, maybe loosen the hose just a tad to move it out of the way, loosen the lock nut some and start cranking it?

    Has anyone ever installed 16" coils on the king's for less preload, more lift? I know standard is 14"

    I have been debating on 16" 700# coils

    I ordered my T handle directly from King. It was not cheap IIRC. Around $50
