King Coilover adjustments??

Now THAT's interesting. I'm running 700lb coils on TC LT w/ bypasses. An 18" 500lb coil would be very interesting to try.

 

Can we get a photo of how your truck sits now that you’ve made the recommended adjustments? 600lb springs with the shock length at 23”. Thanks brother.

 

On my Gen 1 DC, no armor, I swapped the #650 King springs for #700 Eibach. Ride is great. Less preload, more droop available, same height. I am going to measure my extended loaded length tomorrow. Based on the Accutune numbers in the example, 43% of travel is droop. The 3" at the wheel is likely a very close estimate, but it will be interesting. On my shorter shocks, that would be 2" (1.935") less than full extension at the shock.

 

My kings have definitely settled even more. Kind of surprised and disappointed, I had fox in the past and they didn’t settle at all after the first week or so. I may try adjusting the preload one more time. Not paying to have the springs replaced 7 months after installing brand new coil overs.

 

I realized my math was wrong - its more like 28% droop. Makes more sense when you hear the 70/30 ratio. So on my 4.5" shock travel, its about 1.3" minimum droop available at the shock. I'll likely keep it more in the 65/35, 60/40 range because of my shorter overall stroke.

 

Some awesome info here thanks guys!

Here’s a pic of the truck. I added some icon UCA which seemed to help things out about. Currently sitting at 5 turns on both springs. I’m going to be backing out 3 turns on each shock then get an alignment to see if that helps the ride quality.

 

Here’s the set up
