How many inches front and back are you set to on the Kings? Also how does she ride with KDSS AND the lift? I'm looking at something very similar except with Fox.

Nice ride!

This is how SHIRO stands now with some new components:

FN Wheels Overland Bronze
Kings suspension w/reservoirs & adjusters
Southern Style Offroad hybrid bumper
Warn 10k S winch
Factor 55 Flatlink
Cascadia 4x4 license plate
Rigid Industries SR 20" combo
 
Just put the bilstein 5100's set to 1.75 on the front and had zero issue with alignment. Just had it done about an hour ago. I was very worried about it that's why I didn't go 2.5 but with numbers below I'm going to move it up before long.

I literally just told the Tech to max the caster but keep camber within spec. Not sure if I should have them match caster each side or if it's ok to leave as is but numbers are surprising with stock UCAs from what I've seen.

Driver/Passenger
Caster: 3.6/4.2
Camber: .6/.5
Toe: .07/.08
Total toe: .15

I spoke with a guy at a local off road shop that does lifted alignments all day long. He said zero issues with stock UCAs at 3" in front 2" rear. I decided to roll the dice and did 2.5" front/ 2" rear. I'll post specs after my alignment Thursday... better pics to come pics to come. My garage clearance is all but gone.

Nice ride!

its about level 2.6" in the front and 2" in the rear. Cant recall exactly where the fronts are set to. I am coming from OME so the ride is a whole lot more plush. Not as soft and floaty as stock but for a truck and truck suspension its a huge improvement on the road. Regarding the adjusters I haven't played with them too much but when I first got them I tested them out and you can feel the difference a little.

Nice! Anxious to see your alignment numbers and more pics. I keep telling myself wait another 5k before raising it up to 2.5 but its gonna be hard to wait.
 
Installed the cornfed 2/1 on my wife's Limited and had it aligned a few weeks ago with excellent results and stock UCAs even netting about 2.5 of lift(measured from ground to fender before and after)

Quick question, I'm getting bigger tires on this weekend and want to know if another alignment is necessary? Will post pics once new wheels and tires are installed.

I wouldn't worry about it. Obviously if it feels terrible or visually looks off I would. I certainly don't claim to be an "expert" though..

Generally no, if you get new tires you do not need an allignment because if you think about it, it has basically nothing to do with the height or suspension as it is UNSPRUNG weight (not being supported by the "springs" AKA suspension).

Big difference, Looks great!

I was thinking about going with the BP-51's....If you wanted to, could you add another inch to the front to level it out little more?

If measuring from ground to fender, I'm at 38 front, and almost 40 in the rear with 285's. I like where the rear is, but I want to make sure that when I go to a new lift, I'll be able to get the front to within about an inch or so from where the rear is , about an inch higher than I am now in the front....(I have the Toytec TRD Pro front spacer/rear spring lift now)

Thanks

I have load E tires. I called BFG after my tire swap and run their recommendation for highway miles. Which is what we do day to day. On the trail we air down to 15 or so depending on terrain etc

What did BFG say was the best tire to run? I'll be running the BFG AT on my 16 in a couple weeks. 285/70/17
