King 2.5 problems

"-Did the poor ride quality change after you added tires or after you added more preload/lift? What tire rating do you have? This will definitely cause the ride quality you described."

 

I bet ya those new Grapplers are Load E tires too...Those are gonna be way stiffer than the Load D or Load C tires

 

What tire pressure you running. This place a huge factor on feel. Do not add a spacer to the coilovers.

 

Also, just something to think about, those wheel spacers are going to increase rubbing on the pinch weld because the change in scrub radius. Lift height will only help fit "larger" tires for daily driving, as soon as the suspension articulates and compress there still might be rubbing. I think the happy medium is .75" to help limit frame rub and rubbing on the pinch weld.

As mentioned above, the tires could be the reason for poor ride quality and not the coilovers.

 

Don't think wheel spacers have been mentioned

 

The first photo OP posted looks like he has some wheel spacers on, I just assumed them still might be on the vehicle. could be wrong but thought it was worth mentioning especially if that is his motive to crank the coilovers up more.

 

love this graphic, look forward to the article. you guys post a ton of useful suspension information.

 

To add, I was running the 275/70’s prior to the spacers and only rubbed on the mud flaps / guards ( in everyday driving).
It does appear you’re running spacers, maybe that’s causing you to need addition lift??

First off let me say thank you to you guys for your responses here. Never doubt a bunch of guys that get obsessed about some stuff like this.

The collar was turned down on the COA about a week before the new tires. The new tires definitely exacerbated the decreased ride quality but the decrease was noticeable on stock tires.The tires are 285/70/17 load E ridge grappler at 34lbs. my "droop" or down travel is 4". Friday i'll be able to get in there and get some better measurements. As far as wheel spacers, yes I am using Spidertrax 1.25" spacers.
