Do you have your preferred settings yet for on and off road? I’m trying to find a good setting for mine.

I have them set 6 clicks out from soft for highway and its like a Cadillac. I have not got it in the desert yet as it poured 2 weekends in a row here. Trying to get it out this weekend to test, no rain in the forecast.

I have mine one click out from soft on the front and I personally wouldn't call the ride I am getting Cadillac. How much preload did you add to the front coil overs? I wonder if my extra preload is making the difference.

Good luck with the weather! That can be frustrating. I went out a few nights ago in the rain and I don't think I'll ever be able to get all the mud off now! haha

Zero pre-load. Adding pre-load is always going to make it ride stiffer. Why so much pre-load. Mine is way high in the front from the out of the box setting. Im 42 1/4 inches from ground to bottom center of the fender.

i have icon rear leafs on option 1 in the rear. I added enough preload to compensate for those and still maintain a level front end.

Been thinking about getting some drop shackles for the rear to lower it but I don’t know much about them.

Check out Krazy House Customs (KHC) on instagram, hes working one some bad ass ones. All drop shackles do is retain the articulation of the better leaf springs without raising the truck by lowering the mount points of the ends of the leaf springs. Im may be wrong about some more specifics but I believe thats the jest of it

here is the shackle relocation kit. Lowers the frame pivot hole 2 inches and allows you to run a 2 in longer shackle without lowering the ride height. all the benefits of running longer shackles with out loosing height gains

This is awesome. What if I wanted to lower the rear by between 1-2 inches? What would I need then? Icon rear leafs on option 1. This way, I can lower the preload on my kings upfront. I added some to keep the front level with the rear.

Just installed the Stage 1 LCA support kit this weekend. Very trick setup and went together smoother than I had anticipated! One slight "issue" I ran into was that the rear bracket on the back pocket pulled the LCA backwards ever so slightly (I'd guess 1/8") so now my 37's are rubbing the back of the front wheel wells a little more at full lock. In hind sight, I should have slotted the swaybar bracket holes in the rear brackets back about 3/16" to allow everything to tighten back down without straining/pulling the rear pocket. Just something to keep in mind when installing.

Just going to push me to get to trimming the wheel wells ASAP!
