SOLD King 2.5 Coil-overs for a 5-6” lift SOLD

Do you know if stock Kings add lift though? I guess that might be the difference, but I haven't any experience with them. These would work for my set up, but it's probably overkill for my needs. Not that it usually stops me .. lol. But I just bought an ARB and Warn Zeon 12-s, and day after tomorrow I'm picking up a snomaster fridge freezer. So I'm a little tapped out on the spending. Plus I just bought a pair of new 285's for my off road trailer. I plan to replace my spacers with shorter ones and swap in headstrong or OME 2-2.5 springs, which is fine for my needs. I do have longer billy's with my DB 6" and 35's. Just haven't gotten around to finishing up the grand plan. These would be nice, but there's just no juice left in the orange.. ha ha.

 

Good point! The stock kings will add 1.5 to 2.5 inches of lift from a factory set up.
You sound like with all your recent shopping, a nice set of King’s would really be the cherry on top! Haha! I get it.
I’m either going to sell these in the next month or so, or just get them rebuilt as OEM height. PM me an offer if you change your mind. I’d like to set someone up with them as is.

 

I thought stock kings were for stock height expectations. My ultimate goal was just getting smaller spacers in up front with high quality shocks.
Last 60 days- hp tuner, aluminum radiator, s/c pump. One more gauge, intake parts, rear axel with trutrac, front 3rd member to match, leaf springs, rear kings, u bolts, shock relocate. 5k-ish. Oh, cam gears, and billet custom fuel rails and 650cc injectors, s/c tensioner, belt, and all idler bearings. More like 7k. Ugh, this shit keeps me broke.

 

Good question. King advertises them at a 1.5 to 2.5 inch lift but they are adjustable to some degree.
With Kings in the rear, I’m sure it would be nice to match the ride all the way around (these Or OEM kings with a spacer).
I’d say try them out and return them if they don’t fit but shipping on these kills that plan. I really think the best way to see if these would fit would be to droop a wheel and measure. Until you do that, it’s all guesses.

 

I'll try and do that in the morning .I have some 2.25" spacers. Was hoping king extended travel shocks would work with them.

 

That might be the right way to go if these are too long. Keep me posted.

 

So my droop front suspension # is stock +4".
Whatever that number is. Maybe a guru has that # memorized.

 

Will do.

 

I found this thread:

Is 22.17” right?

 

It's the standard bilstein yellows. Hurt my back this morning so never got to drop test. If yes, with a 4" lift I'd say my max is 26"

 

My only fear is upon full compression geometry limitations break shit. They actually sound like they work for length. I'm again just so inexperienced with suspension to know for sure.

 

Agreed. You're going to have more travel then stock for sure and that might cause issues. I don’t know enough either to be much of a help. Maybe call king or headstrong to get the some knowledge would be needed.

 

Let me call king monday. Should I contact them directly? Or do you think down south would be as helpful?

 

I’ve contacted both and both are good, but in this case down south might make more sense as they would understand your 4” lift more.
