    Hey everyone Just joined today Have had my truck for about 8 months. As everyone knows its a never ending build. with that being said I finally upgraded to King shocks with adjusters after having spacers for a while. I was wondering if anyone knew what the best adjustments were for daily driving. Thanks

    Welcome from San Diego. Quite the jump up from a spacer lift, well done! I don’t have any experience with Kings but plenty of folks here are running them. I’m sure someone will chime in. My guess is that the settings are all subjective and depend a lot on the rest of your set-up (wheels, tires, heavy bumpers, RTT, etc). Someone will probably be able to give you a good starting point though if you fill in the gaps.

    Welcome from NC, I've got kings with adjusters on the front set at 10 clicks, havent really toyed with them too much since I set them but it drives great on the daily. it's very subjective so you cant be wrong.

    10 clicks?!

    I'm at 1 click, maybe 2 in the front. More in the rear. Hard to tell as it doesn't really "click".

    Depends on how you drive and on/offroad conditions. Street I'd prefer to have stiffer suspension less roll high speed corners, due to the fact that tires maintain more contact on ground. Offroad softer to absorb more instead of bouncing around on stiff suspension. Rebound quicker to get tires back on ground after deflection to maximize traction/drive. Front to rear settings will be different as well. If your not doing any high speed driving then just keep it more on soft side. So with more adjustability it can be never ending. You just have to find what's comfortable for how you drive.

    All stock-ish. Powdercoated blue suspension.
    8 out from full firm in the fronts, 10-12 outs from full firm in the rear is what I run.
