Putting a lift together, few questions.

[NWFLBowhunter]

So I have a set of kings coming hopefully soon to all 4 corners and need to know if I'm missing anything.
1) extended brake lines
2) panhard adjustable bar from ss
3) diff drop...does it matter which one?

I feel I'm missing something, but I can't think of anything else.

Ya, you're missing rear coils. Or, if you're using stock coils and not planing on lifting it you don't need the rest of that stuff. Also, if you are planing on lifting it then the rear shocks (OEM Proformance kit) need to be custom ordered to match the hight and flex of the rear coils your using. The shocks that come with the kit are for a stock hight truck.

Yea I have the spring on the way, as for the the custom ordered rear shocks, I'm hoping they will work as another member is running close to the same setup, once the spring come in, I'm going to get the measurement that I need and compare it to what the kings are. Hopefully they work out, if not I'll be waiting for the customs to be built.

I highly recommend getting bump stops to match your rear lift. The Sonoran Steel brackets with Daystar urethane I'm using make a big difference in handling and ride at speed over washboarded dirt and other repeated hits. Might save your shocks and mounts from over-compression damage too.

Diff-drop kits don't always include additional spacers for the engine cover.

My rear SS bump stops dont get used till full flex. You telling me your lifted rear end is hitting the SS stops on washboard?

Which rear springs are you going to run? I have the same setup sitting on the floor waiting to go in -the rears. I'm going to pair the Toytec/Eibach 3" lift coils with the rears. I called King and they told me I needed to measure once the coils were installed.

I have a set of super flexs on the way, when I called kings they told me the same thing, so once the spring come in...hopefully this weekend, I'll know exactly where I stand and change my order before they ship...hopefully.

Springs will be here Saturday, the item I thought I was missing is longer rear sway bar links.

Not while crawling of course, and not all the way to the metal either, but at 40 mph yeah the soft top of the extra-tall bumper seems to be doing the job it's supposed to do. My rear wheels stay on the ground noticeably better than when I had just the new springs and shocks back there. I don't have a camera underneath so I guess it could be that the springs are more broken-in or something, but the difference was immediate after installing the stops.

I guess if you 40mph jumping they will be used.
