Important Vehicle Specific Notes and Recommendations

1. The rear shock mounts are very close together on these trucks so King has to use every trick in their book to make a set of 2.5 smoothies fit and work with the factory springs with up to 1" lift blocks. If you plan to install any type of lift over 1" tall, you will either need a rear shock relocation kit or use a lower grade shock with smaller components for more travel.

2. The front suspension geometry is very tight with about 7.5" of wheel travel leveraged to about 4" of movement on the coilover. This leaves plenty of room inside the coilover cylinder for King to run an internal reservoir (IFP), yet it also makes the suspension very sensitive to ride height positioning. For the best performance, the coilovers should be set at mid-shaft or about 1.5" over stock height. For added movement, an aftermarket upper control arm (UCA) can be used to allow for an extra 1/2" of down travel when the coilovers are built with the extended travel option.

3. DO NOT use coilover pre-load to lift the vehicle over 2". The factory geometry works best at about 1.5" over stock and lifting it more than that puts the CV shafts, steering linkages, tie rod ends, and control arms at steeper angles which reduces ride quality significantly and causes those components to wear out faster. For these reasons, we highly recommend a 1" differential drop (available in the menu above) for this application. If you want more than 2" of lift AND excellent performance, you will need an aftermarket lift kit that drops the lower control arm and front differential.

Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Tualatin, OR  
Ordered my shocks a few months ago and Ben gave me a call to go over the vehicle details and make sure they were setup specifically for my truck. I could not be happier, the truck rides amazing! Thank you!
