King Coilover Shocks Installed

[crthrs]

Got my coilovers installed yesterday. Got around 2 inches of lift in the front and was told could get around an inch more if I want. We also did Camburg UCA's but had to take them off because they wont work with the factory wheels. Now I am wheel/tire shopping. Mine are for sale if anyone is interested. See the ad in the sale forum.

That's some handful of pocket change for the Kings. I looked into them, but I'm just an old guy with a couple dogs toolin down trails to go hunt some birds.

[crthrs]

Yes they are a chunk of change. I pretty much tool around with my bird dogs as well on dirt roads as well. Now I can jump over the road if needed lol.

I dont want my dentures to fall out and my toupee' fall down over my trifocals. So I just crawl along.

Love them! I wanted to level the truck but did not want a leveling kit. Its an expensive way to do it but you also get a performance upgrade. If you replace the stock UCA's (Camburg, Mazulla, etc) you get more down travel as well. No more "bottoming out" the front shocks.

How's the ride on the street and what pound springs?

They are progressive so soft while going slow and stiffen up at speed. Icons are digressive so they are oposit of the kings

I'm torn between kings and icons... Just like I was when I had my tacoma

I have always wanted to try the King's out but have not had the opportunity. I am torn between them and the Camburg's (SAW's) for a custom set when my factory struts crap out. I had the Camburg's on my 13 and they were amazing.

Everyday street/highway ride seems the same to me. Where they shine is the rough stuff. You wont catch yourself slowing down to gain control on those washboard gravel roads. You know the ones that shake the whole truck? I took some speed bumps the other day to test them out a bit. I didn't get that bottoming out thud that you get on the downside of the bump. 700lb springs. With new UCA's (I went with Camburg) the travel goes from 6.5 inches to 10.5 inches. A vast improvement in performance and 3"s of lift to boot. Love your truck! Looks killer.

Nice... damn it seems like I'm right back to where i was with my taco deciding between icon and king ha. I def wanna get something for these dirt roads cause some are very washboarded in spots and I don't like slowing down ha.

 

Thanks man, I got more coming for it

I'm not sure if I would ever be able to tell the difference. I went with King because I heard they have better customer service. Kind of like a Chevy/Ford deal. You could argue all day long about it.

I hear ya on that.. Lol probly the same thing, just name brand preference. Glad to here these are worth the coin. I'm buying a set soon, just haven't decided which yet.

Would a wheel spacer fix the contact problem with the uca? I just ordered the fox coilovers and camburg uca, I have the 18" oem wheels and I want to keep them. Was it the tire or wheel that rubbed?

[never_rested_24-7]

I know the icon upper control arms says 5" max on the back spacing
