I think they’re top quality and they can custom valve them for you and supply quickly, ask for JC, they will install too I just did a baja trip with mine

I would suggest coilovers and rear shocks, king, fox, ads along with the icon leaves would set you up nicely on and off road

slight rake

my deavers have extra leaves, they’re probably equivalent to +5 hd, personally I think the compression travel, distance between the bump strike and pad is important, fwiw I flattened +4s and twisted a bump kit so now I have 5” between bump and pad, 7 1/2” up travel and I use all the bump can...

seriously do what fox says and I believe they only advise an inch or so of lift, you lose droop travel when you go higher and you will experience extension clunk, i’m raised around 2.5” and i’ve only got just over 4” droop, also get limit straps

all good points, the secondary is a longer stroke external bypass shock which does the heavy lifting while the coilover becomes semi redundant, the added benefit is reduced force on coil buckets that do fail, an increased width mid travel is way better use of money from an offroad perspective...

messaged you

exo is very professional, nice hotels and meals, you can drive fast or slow, exo has an entertainment guy… his only job is to feed you tequila and beer…. after the day’s driving. zoo road? not familiar… by the way the lead driver is in a gen3 stock rear coils with minor mods, shocks, bumpers...

baja has constantly changing terrain and scenery plus the pacific or the sea of cortez are daily features, you have to do it once

did you off road to cabo!? ADS was great, did some barstow trails and pismo now before heading north, EXO has a big baja run later this year don’t they?

bumps are a last line of defence, a 4” stroke bump on your truck will be engaging after about 1 1/2” of compression, all that fancy live valve shock function will be wasted. get deavers first then a 2 1/2” stroke bump kit

drove to tucson for the install, shocks valved and matched for my truck in about a month, very impressed with their professionalism

maybe someone already mentioned but use a ratchet strap between the box links and over the kennel

King 3.5s 16” stroke, 2 years old, will be serviced and cleaned up, requires bypass rack to accommodate $2200 plus shipping or p/up Tucson

0 offset sticks out about 1 3/8” over stock, you’ll get more splash on your doors but the width effectively lengthens travel and you can find aftermarket wheels that are lighter than stock too

you’ll want a slot delete kit, I would weld the plates

fwiw my king 3.5s have hoses and remote reservoirs and also I got drop shackles, both change the shape and size of the holes compared to piggyback reservoirs and stock shackles

top out is actually the term for the shock fully extending, extension clunck damages the shocks and possibly the shock tower (there’s other threads) besides the damage having only a few inches of droop isn’t really a good suspension setup, fox only recommends raising the truck an inch, imo any...

Ok so you lost your droop travel with the springs and you have extension clunk, return to stock springs or get the foutz limit strap kit, get collars if you want the front higher

it’s a bit tricky but look carefully at the pictures, gloves might save your hands on the fender liner but definitely don’t remove the wheel, if I did it anybody can!

any leaf spring shop can add leaves for about half the cost of new springs and re arch

Evil makes a limit strap kit $225

I think the spring (preload) problems are at full compression causing coil bucket failures so limit straps aren’t going to help that. collars are preferable to springs to avoid the issues apparently fwiw i’ve seen coil buckets fail with aftermarket coilovers, limit straps in the front prevent...

once you have the RST18 the front will want mid travel e clik won’t be possible after RST 18 i’m doing king secondary with stock width and boxed steel uca, lca as you are suggesting but it’s a compromise, mid travel ftw get on the wait list for the foutz boxed steel spindle with double shear...

he should have over 18” rear travel with his 3.5s and the front mid travel probably applies more leverage to those front shocks mounted inboard so a 3.5 secondary probably makes sense
