King 2.5 OEM installed

[Aliass24]

Slapped this kit on last night, have seen it on a few local gen14's, but not much talk of it. Claims +25% wheel travel, looks like all the eye to eye vs stroke lengths are more efficient. Sits .5" higher than my leveling puck setup, see if the springs settle. 275/70-18 tire for ref. I'm pretty good with tuning these shocks, will report back after some miles if science needs to happen.

Feel free to post up pics or opinions if you've ran this kit.

Nice, I see that the swaybar disappeared, you will notice an even better ride without it especially after the springs break in.

Yeah sway bar is staying off. Was one of my peeves with this truck, angled entry into sloped driveways was getting detrimental to the vehicle with the factory setup. Front only swaybar seems a bit silly on a 1/2 ton

Good ole Mo Val. Kit looks great too.

Sounds like a solid mini van setup! good on you keepin the wife happy hah! Definitely a buy once cry once item. But once you've felt what real shocks can do it's hard to live without.

She only cruised it a few times in Baja but she's a believer. Anything else we drive with stock shocks she just looks over at me and rolls her eyes.

Are those 275/70-R18 tires load range C?

These are the SL version grabber I'm running.

Interesting, they are actually rated for 200lb greater load than load range C. I may go with these to replace my stock 265/65-18

they came on my Rattler trim stock. super quiet and smooth. Sidewalls are suspect though. Sliced one wide open pulling a trailer into a customer's property.

Made some adjustments last night while I was swapping uppers, backed off about .5" of preload. King specs a 600x16" spring. Measured out now theoretically spring has 2" of preload without knowing it's actual static length. Have some 500x16'' springs on the way to play with next round.

Are they stiffer than expected or you looking to just lower them some?

Yeah I want my ride height down at least an inch. Kinda knew they were going to need some work externally and internally for my configuration, kit covers a lot of years.

Possible to pre load them to 2.5” you think or will it affect the ride?
