Bypass rack - 3.5s or 4.0s???

[SlimChaChi]

Changing up my entire suspension. My icon stuff is all coming off and I went with an LT Baja Kits front end w/King 3.0s. Order and SVC bump kit with 2.5" King shocks. Now, I'm going with an SVC bypass rack, V2. Question is, 3.5s or 4.0s? 3.5s seem to bolt right in but I'm hearing the 4.0 kings are a tight fit and require some modification. Any advice you bypass rack guys can offer? This is essentially the last piece of the puzzle in terms of suspension mods for now. Just don't want to make a rushed decision either way.

If you can afford the 4.0s get them. They don't require anymore modifications than the 3.5s.

You aren't going to get much more feedback on 4.0s, not many have installed them, I have mine, tmx has done one or two, svc may have done one, other than that I'm pretty sure it's been 3.5s.

They actually are more difficult to fit, you have to be more deliberate about where you place the lower shock mount to avoid shocks hitting any number of things and the lower mounts have to be cut to move them closer to the axle to avoid hitting the rack on full droops. Or at least that was my experience.

Thanks guys. Couple guys on the FB page also gave me a heads up on the install. The king 4.0s are big and a bit more difficult to install from what I have been told.

Well I'm chase, so you've heard from me in both places lol. Like I said, probably won't be many to comment on 4.0s just not enough done.

Haha i reread the reply and was like "that's gotta be chase" lol, thanks man, might just be 3.5s for me...seems like a small miscalculation here or there could cause more issues than I'm comfortable with

I feel you, if it wasn't for the bragging rights and ego I probably would have done 3.5 as well

They probably look damn good though, especially when they're a custom setup. Got any pics of them installed so I can get jealous haha

A leaf spung raptor is going to have a hard enough time heating up 3.5's let alone 4.0's. I'd appropriate the difference in money elsewhere in your build and stick with the 3.5's. Doubtful you'll benefit any noticeable difference between the two setups.
