Thanks guys. That’s what I was thinking would be the best bet.

Backed into a pole today and slayed the bedside. Shit happens. What would you do in this scenario? Self pay to get this dinger fixed, or would you go through insurance? Assuming that my rates go up some, and the accident would be listed on my vehicle report, is it smarter just to self pay?

I'm shocked to see some folks online trying to get $2500 for wheels only. $1900 seems pretty reasonable with new tires and TPMS

Innov8's I got through @Pacific Wheel

I'm pretty sure the gen 2 coil springs are around 533 lb/in. But they are for a 3.0" body shock, so that won't work. I would maybe ask around in the Gen 1 threads to see if anyone makes a spring for the Gen 1 shocks with a lighter spring rate. My only other suggestion would be to go down to...

If you have a full gen 2 suspension, I would look into getting some gen 2 coilovers. You should be able to find some front coilovers for around $300 or so. Plus the shock bodies from a gen 1 and gen 2 are totally different.

Well the rear shocks were already at 150 psi. Going to take advantage of King's free revalve service and ship them out next week; thanks for the advice @khcdave and @Loufish . Going to swap out the coils first thing next week and run on the factory rear shocks until the kings are revalved. Will...

SVC quality is top notch, looks slick!

You and me both... I have a gut feeling I'm going to be lucky to get $800 for them.

Not sure about fitment, but If I were you I'd reach out to ADD. Ask them if they would do the rack you want without any badging.

I did order some 550 lb/in coil springs for the front. Fortunately for me, and for anyone else curious, Fox and King coil springs are interchangeable. Should be in early next week. When they arrive, I will also have some longer shackles installed and bleed some of the nitrogen out of the shocks...

That would be best case scenario. Maybe some noob was tasked with putting those heavy bastard leaf springs in my truck.

Did King say anything about cavitation due to a decrease in nitrogen pressure? Or is it safe to a degree to let some pressure out? I will try that when I take my truck in this week. Trick.Raptor had the same advice so y'all must be on to something.

That's what I expected to see after install; lose the float feeling, but still have some smoothness on road (especially with compression open). I get the race truck parts thing to a degree, but maybe I made the wrong assumption. I assumed that the parts would still yield some nice on-road...

There doesn't look to be any interference between the shackle and the frame, but i will double check both sides this afternoon. I guess you could say there is a bucking sensation. It feels as though the rear is preloaded; every bump I go over is much more abrupt in the rear. Maybe this causes...

Little update. So far, I have tried endless compression/rebound settings with little effect. Been riding around for the last week at 31-32 psi with about 450 lbs in the bed. Still very harsh. I'm pretty stumped... This week I'm going to take some preload out of the front coilovers and see if...

Was thinking about replacing the whole driver handle assembly with a non keyhole handle assembly, but this looks much more economical. Thanks for the links.

I've been trying to wrap my head around this preload thing for a while now. Adding preload to a coil over should not place a load on the coil, right? The only thing that the preload is doing is allowing the shock shaft to extend further out of the body, thus creating a longer static shock. This...

I'll try going down in psi some for the front and rear tires and see what difference that makes. I did open up the short compression tube in the rear bypass some and that helped. I guess the biggest difference I have with the new setup is that with certain bumps at low to medium speeds...

Feeding it a steady supply of caliche

@Trick.Raptor I will see if my local shop has a gauge. What would be an acceptable pressure range? or just let out 10% or so of current psi?

It has about 400 miles on the new setup. Probably drove 40 miles around the ranch trying to break it in some. I will try opening up the rear tubes all the way. As of now the tubes are set as following: Compression: Long Tube- 6 revs from closed Short Tube- 8 revs from closed Rebound: Long Tube-...

They are the standard +3's

I sincerely don't want this to sound like a rant, but I need some feedback. Installed a slew of goodies a week back on my truck. Suspension mods included: Kings, +3" deavers, bump stop kit, ucas, and tie rods. The son of a gun is rough. Like the factory plushness just said, Bye Felicia. This...

Never been, but Rally Ready Driving School looks pretty neat. Southeast of Austin.
