Calling All Kings

I measured my rear wheel arch height before & after unloading this last trip and I rebounded a bit over an inch after unloading. I probably had about 400+ lbs this last trip.

C59-817V might be a better fit if you carry a load infrequently. Those springs are rated for 175 - 330 lbs constant weight.

Hola,

For those who have King 2.5s front & rear....

What are you using for your rear spring?

I currently have my stock rear spring with the Westcott Designs pre-load collar lift pucks. It sits nice & level but it squats and bobs and weaves when I'm loaded up. I just finished a work/camping trip and my nerd ass weighed everything as I unloaded my truck. Kind of surprisingly, it added up to an incredibly round number, 502 lbs. Like a commercial for spring rates. So I want to replace my current setup with an appropriate aftermarket spring. I will probably do Camburg rear lower arms / trailing arms (not LCAs as I mistakenly said previously) at the same time. I run around plenty unloaded but I can soften the rear a bit with the King dials. I currently run my Kings 2 clicks from total hard in the front and 4 clicks in the rear.

Hey @Bluegill

How are the upper control arms working out and has the alignment been trouble free

Suspension is functioning very well, just did a trip over 500 miles with plenty of off-road driving.
