Wait or Not on King suspension

I have decided to get King suspension (2.5 OEM Performance Series), but do not that he mulah to buy both front and rear just yet. should i just buy the fronts for now? will i notice a difference? or wait and but both at the same time?

 

Worth getting the front and yes it will be night and day difference. You can't go wrong with King 2.5"

 

Just say fuck it and order the fronts. That's the most expensive part of a lift anyways. At least that will be done with. You can always find a set of blocks for the rear for pretty cheap to run in the meantime until you order the rear shocks and AAL/leaf pack

 

okay thanks for the input my man

 

i already have a 3" on it would that matter ?

 

What kind of 3"? Spacers?

 

I believe so

 

I would take the spacers off and use the coilovers for the lift. If you combine the 2 you'll have a stiffer ride, need new upper control arms, and you can really fuck up you cv's due to the angle both lifts will put them at.

 

thats good to know, so if i go with the 2.5s are they adjustable? would i still have a 3" lift?

 

Yes. The king 2.5's should be able to adjustable from 0-3". Just keep in mind that with a 3" lift like that you may need aftermarket upper control arms to get your alignment back to perfect.

 

Just get the extended travel for the 3" lift. the standard travel is up to 2" It should come from the factory preset at 2" just adjust them to the desired height for the extended travel coilovers.

 

Many of the so called "3 inch spacer kits" will actually only give you 2.5 lift.

 

Yeah i still want at least a 3" lift Ideal would be 4",any recommendations for control arms?

 

If you want 4" look into maxtrac spindles if you 2wd. They give 4" of lift without have to change anything out. You'll still be able to use your stock shocks, coils, UCA's, etc.

 

regardless im going to get Kings suspension and if i can only get up to 3" lift with the coilovers im okay with that. do you ride with kings?

 

I don't. I just ordered the fox 2.5 coilovers so I'm waiting on those. I'll probably keep those at 1" of lift to start out with since I'm gonna install the 4" spindles as well. I already have light racing UCA's installed since I'm currently running the bilstein 5100's with eibach coils. I'm keeping the coils at 1" so I can have a softer and smoother ride. Plus, I don't want 7" of lift lol

 

So if i get the maxtrac spindles and kings suspension, i would have a 4" lift? or should i switch out the control arms as well?

 

If you are 2WD you can get 4" out of the spindles PLUS a couple with the king's and still have a nice ride.

 

For that I think it depends. If you leave the kings at a 0" setting and get the 4" lift from the spindles then I don't think you will. Once you start adjusting the kings to get more lift then you may want to get some UCA's. If you get UCA's spend the extra money and get a uniball setup. I didn't and I regret it. I keep having to change out upper ball joints. On the uniball setups you don't have to worry about that.

 

I pulled the trigger on some king 2.5 with adjusters (front and back) this past weekend.
been saving up for over a year. maybe 2.
i don't even have them yet. and i'm all giddy. i don't think i'll regret them one bit.
(uca and extended brake lines as well)
