King 2.5 from sdhq

Few other people have to do this running other arms as well (TC, Burg) so it's not an Icon issue to cut the rods. Theirs is a flaw with geometry.

 

Still playing the waiting game for parts. In the meantime I’ve thought about cb+3 shackles.

 

Anyone know a good vendor to order icon rebounds? Want to order this weekend unless any sales are coming up.

 

Anybody have any advise for bump stops on the front with the king 2.5, also will be getting my +3 coachbuilder shackles soon. Just wanting to know what else I need to order

 

I have these on my truck.

I think wheelers off-road makes a spacer for the stock bump stops. You could probably get some washers and space it out yourself if you went that route.

 

Never heard of theses ones. Was looking at the ones from King, and I also seen coachbuilder has an extension kit.

 

Boss off-road was able to help me out with these.

 

Wheelers Superbumps or durobumps are a good low cost option.

 

Yeah I definitely want to go a low cost route. I’m not even 100% on if I will even need them.

 

If you have any faster paced off roading near you then you’ll want them.

 

Thanks for the help. I’m set on the wheelers super bumps. I’m not going to use shims or anything. The Timbren sound nice but I think I will be happy saving money.

 

I have that same set up and I have the DuroBumps bump stop.

 

I have 2.5 kings and running the factory bump stops. No problems.

 

Might not need them most of the time, but it’s better to have a proper setup.

 

that looks costly

 

King and several vendors all stated new bump stops were not needed.

 

Do you know the main cause of this shock failure? This may be more of an issue in regards to a spacer lift and not running extended length bump stops. Running Kings with stock bumps will be fine since their compressed lengths are similar to a stock length coilover.

 

That is good to know. I’m not going to run spacers like king recommends, and am going to stay at the height they come out of the box. Hopefully they come set at 2.5

 

So stock bumps will also work with the +3 shackles?

 

King recommended spacers on top of their coilovers? That doesn't sound right at all. The coilovers are adjustable, and depending on how much weight you have, you may need to adjust the preload collar to get the height you want. We pretty much always make slight adjustments when doing installs.

Great article we have that discusses coilover setup: https://accutuneoffroad.com/oem-front-coilover-shock-setup/

 

Sorry no, I meant they do not recommend

 

The rear is a different story, and bump length will depend on your shocks compressed length. If you get a longer shock for a taller lift, there is a good chance you will need a bump stop spacer. Adjusting bump stop height is all about the compressed length of the shock and keeping tires from smashing into fenders etc.

 

I will have the 2.5 king piggy back rear shocks

 

Piggyback? Do you have a part number to reference?

Unfortunately King does not have an extended length OEM rear shock for Tundras, so they will be limited in lift height to around 0-1.5"

 

Was a 3 inch spacer lift, if I recall.

 

I have kings and toytec shackles on the top setting—oem bump stops with no problems. I just got my +3 from coach builder. Both King and Coachbuilder said stock bump stumps will be fine. Others with +3 and kings have said no problems as well.

 

Are you referring to a "+3" as a 3" lift?

Feel free to take measurements for yourself. Running too tall of a lift will put your shock almost fully extended at ride height not allowing any down travel. This will result in poor ride quality.

+3 are 1.5" shackles.
