    Going with Kings front and rear. But which ones?

    Lifting 3".

    Going to replace UCA and rear leafs. But which ones are best?

    What other components are needed and which are the best? ... $$$ not an issue.

    Installing them on a 2020 DCLB Sport.

    Not rock crawling but want to be prepared for most everything up to that type of wheeling. Cab Mount Chop is out of the question.

    Sounds like you have it together for the most part. I am doing similar, Kings, Icon RXT leaf pack, Icon Delta Joint UCA''s. My front Kings arrive today so I'll start install this weekend hopefully.
    The rear leaf pack is subjective. I've heard Dakar's get a little noisy. Deaver are supposed to be really nice. I've heard good things about the RXT and they are adjustable.
    I got EXT length kings 2.5.
    There isn't much more until the suspension is installed. Bump stops, ext brake lines, carrier drop etc. You may or may not need them.

    I went with spc arms so I could adjust camber too, I like the ride of my dakars, but they squeak a lot and that drives me crazy. I would suggest a call to accutune, they carry king and fox, and tune them

    Consider lubricating your Alignment cams when you do you suspension. your alignment will be absolutely KEY to making everything you buy count and avoiding unnecessary wear and tear on parts. Arbitrarily targeting "3 inches" shouldnt be your goal. If you are on aftermarket wheels and tires, the new wheels/tires size, offset and backspace will be figured into your alignment. make sure your alignment tech is aware you are NOT aligning to factory spec, because your wheels/tires/suspension are changed.
    -stay away from e-rated tires.

    Are you adding a lot of accessories or weight to the truck? Plan on towing? That information will be needed when picking out rear leaf springs and shocks. The front is pretty straight forward with upper control arms and extended length coilovers. Kings are nice, however if you want the best shocks out there, you may want to look more into what Fox has to offer.

    We have some great kits to choose from depending on how you will be using the truck most often. We will also custom valve the shocks specific to your trucks weight.
