Those with King Coilovers...

I have a question, so i ordered king coilovers for the truck and installed them last night. Headstrong off road said that they are shipped to give you 1.5 of lift out of the box but there is a 1/4 to 1/2 difference for 2wd which mine is. So I turned the adjuster a total of 6 full revolutions and i have exactly 1 inch of thread showing at the top of the coilover, now my question is did i mess something up or is this about normal? I dont want to max these out and ruin them. any input is appreciated.

 

Whats your spring rate?

 

Im not sure, i ordered them straight from Headstrong just as theyre sold. I didnt change anything as far as choosing different springs.

 

So most likely you probably have 650# springs. I have 1/2in of threads showing but with 700# springs. Look at my pictures and that's what you'll have for lift. Are you running an aftermarket UCA? You might need to turn them down a little depending on how much they settle. The higher you go the less down travel you'll have

 

yeah so my reasoning was in the directions it says 5 turns will give you one inch of lift so figured since i have a 2wd that it would be around 1 inch from factory and 5 turns to add another inch giving me a total of ~2 inches

 

Did you lift your rear end to match? Otherwise I wouldn't touch them for a while and let the springs settle. Unless it doesn't have any down travel whatsoever then go down 1/2 in

 

Alrighty, thanks so much. Just dont want to mess these bad boys up.

 

I completely understand haha, a lot of money to throw away if messed up.
