Replacing cheap spacer lift

Got a killer deal on my truck when I bought it and it came lifted with a 3" Revtek spacer lift. Time to upgrade to a coil over and leaf spring suspension lift. I really want my tires to still fit so I need 3" out of the lift. I've researched and decided to go with King/Fox, but having trouble finding a 3" kit. Personally would like a shop to do it since my time is limited and this is also my daily driver. Located in Seaftle area if people have suggestions on shops. Just tired of my truck riding like shit and constantly burning up shocks because I travel off-road so much on washboard roads. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Why King/Fox? You can get 3" out of a Bilstein setup. Put some OME springs on the front with 5100 Bilsteans and maybe a spacer plate and you're there.

Sorry, I don't know any shops in Seattle, but I'm sure there are a few. I know a great shop here in my town of Vancouver, WA. I've used them for several jobs on my trucks. If you come down you're welcome to kick it at my place while they do the work, takes most of a day usually.

 

Damn dude that would be sick. Vancouver isn't that far really for a good shop that you've used before. I feel like my front end has seriously 0 travel when I hit potholes up where I go mountain biking and hunting. I brace myself for impact. Like I have steel bars for shocks. I deserve better. So does my Tacoma. Lol. King coil overs I heard are super high quality and ride nice. Fox I've heard same thing and love my forks on my mountain bike they are bad ass and durable. I kind of wanted to buy Fox because they've been great to me so far. I ran my other mountain bike over with my Tacoma and the Fox forks got tweaked but survived and my dad is still using them to this day. It was crazy I lodged the whole bike up underneath my truck and folded the rims and crank. Broke handlebars and all shifters. I wasn't a member on here when it happened or I would have posted it and the aftermath. My dad kind of rebuilt it off the frame and still rides great. I bought a new one with insurance money.

 

You can't go wrong with King or Fox... (as an Icon owner) even Icon ride well (in the right setup).

There's a lot to consider with how to ride smooth at high speed, especially if the ass-end is jumping around on you right now. If you feel the front end is riding the bumps you need tougher springs and a more-performance geared dampener (in my opinion.) I've always felt Bilstein shocks are great stock-replacements for quality but, ultimately, not an offroad shock.

I'm ahead of myself. I don't have a shop to offer, but, what's your budget OP? What kind of wheeling? Camping/towing/hauling?

 

You bet. Come on down

The place I use and trust is Woody's 4x4 Inc. They are about 1/2 mile from my house. The owners love wheeling so close the shop on weekends, so you have to get in there weekdays. PM me when you make plans and I'll send you directions/contact info...
