So 2-3 weeks ago I had my local shop installed my kings shock. When i went to pick my car up I saw that my car had a rake upfront that doesn't evenly lined up with the rear. So I called the shop the next day and told them about the situation they told me that it will fix itself, just put in couple 100 miles or so. So last week went to LA to take my kids to Disneyland to put in the miles that they suggested. Now it seems like nothing changed. Somewhere in the forums I read about the rake issue. But still confuse. (sorry for being a noob) but i had to call my shop back and tell them again that the rake is still happening up front. Give in mind i paid 2k to have it installed, dont flame me for not installing myself. LOL. Anyways, Before i take it in, I know the max on Kings Shocks is about 2" ...that or upgrade the different spring up front to eliminate the rake. So any input will help. What should i do before i take it in?

Here is the picture when i got it.

What rear springs did you get installed? Given the RTT and awning you may want to install springs with more lift. I have MetalTech springs and they’ve been great but Old Man Emus are popular as well.

Agreed seems like you need stiffer springs in the rear to make up for the weight.

I have Icon springs at the rear. ICON 52700 rear springs.

Stiffer springs and find a new shop...they are clueless

Sweet shovel

At zero preload, the front coilovers should level the truck, without 2 tons of stuff on the roof.

I can’t tell from the picture, but are you concerned that the front is higher than the rear?
Did you give the shop new rear springs to install?

If the rear is too low, you need to add longer rear springs. I use the icon 2” rear springs.

If the front is too low, the coil over preload needs to be adjusted. I have about 8 threads showing on my driver side coilovers, and 6 on the passenger, and it’s a much higher than yours, and a good match for the icon 2” rears

need more things bolted to the roof for sure.

Just to clarify, are you saying that the front is higher than the rear? Or that the rear is higher than the front?

I'm not understanding what he means either.

Agreed..would like to see the kitchen sink up there, maybe a hi-lift and some maxtrax.

Given you're already running the Icon 2" rear springs you may want to look for more stiff rear springs that would provide more lift as well. Icon does offer an overland spring that may suit your needs better given the load on top and to clarify everyone else's point I'm seeing the front is higher than the rear?

The rear is higher than the front. Just want the front to level with the rear. Or have it leveled it out all around .

I do have a hi- lift and maxtraxx but not installed. Lol... kitchen sink maybe my next mod upgrade
