For my fellow kings suspension users! (1 Viewer)

Just had my kings installed, kind of forgot to mention that I wanted the fronts leveled with the rear.. rig kinda sits with a rake and I honestly think it drives better when I had it with another kit..

Now my question fellas, did you guys keep it at what the kings came at or did you raise it? Or level it?

Here’s a pic of how she sits.. I’ll try and take a pic of the car when it’s on more level ground.

Mods:
Kings 2.5
Rear icon springs

that looks good

Mine was raised to accommodate the NYTOP bumper. I have Dobinsons rear springs rated for 1,200 lbs. I prefer the rake to accommodate any rear weight.

What model of the icon springs did you go with, that may be more the culprit that the front.

Looks about like mine but its hard to tell from the pic. Do you have 35's?

I got the icon dual rate spring.

My 2025 Overtrail on kings feel great , I run mine full soft and no lift in front, stock springs in the rear

Nose dive isn’t so bad, steering doesn’t feels more responsive and tight. I can see the road in front of the car better.. I previously had Wescott kit.. I should have just saved and got kings right away.

I also had the Westcott pre-load collar lift and then I upgraded to Kings.

Westcott installed my original pre-load collar kit and they also just installed my Kings.

They leveled the front with the rear. I kept the stock Lexus rear springs but we kept the Westcott rear pucks (spacers) on the springs. I'll see if the stock rear springs are sufficient when I load up for my next camping trip. On my last trip (pre-Kings) I was sagging a bit too much in the rear but I had a third guy in the back seat plus al his stuff (he's a good 275 lbs too).

I'm currently running 6 clicks from fully firm and it handles great but it's a bit stiff in the rear over rough pavement. You can feel & hear the jolts in the rear. I ran for a while at 10 clicks from fully firm and it was probably better. I'm going to dial it in at the exact mid-point (at 13 clicks from full firm, there are 26 total adjustment clicks) and ride that for a while. I also want to try fully soft on the road, or a few clicks from fully soft....maybe I'll do that first.

P.S. my ride height with the Kings is a half-inch higher all around vs. the Westcott pre-load collar lift.
