    Didn't make any height adjustments on them so I believe Kings sets them up at 2" out of the box and I installed them as-is. I'll probably lift the front another inch when i remove the front wheels for the CMC install tho. It's a pain in the ass doing everything on jack stands in my driveway.

    Thank you. It's definitely my all time favorite wheel and color. I use it on all my car builds and looks good on just about anything.

    Right. I was almost about to hold out for the 3.0 kings but it' overkill for me at least. Beast of setup tho

    Quick question? What are you front coils set to for ride height? Also, are you running shackles? Debating about adding the CB ones

    How much were your kings if you don't mind? Where did you buy them from?

    Erik, I have kings and CB shackles installed. Let me know if you want to meet up - the visual might be helpful with deciding shackle size. Awesome build you have going!

    They're about $2200( No adjusters) & $2800ish w/adjusters. I got mine directly from Kings in Socal. I called and spoke with them directly and they were very helpful so just placed an order with them since they helped me out. I could've probably found a better deal though a vendor here. I'm in Cali so sales taxes is few hundred alone lol

    11 threads showing on the drivers side; 7 on the passenger side. Took care of most of the Tundra lean. Let me know if you’re ever in the Loomis area. I’d like to check out your front bumper caps... I’m considering getting mine powered coated.

    I have 7 threads passenger side and 8~9 threads driver side. Still has some minimal lean. I think it's about 2" height total for me.

    Mine are both at 7 threads. Gonna get some measurements on mine and see how bad the lean is. I did read that adding a CB shim on the driver side helps with lean.

    @Filthy13 Will do. For the cost and durability powdercoat was the best choice. $35 an end cap. Not a perfect match but it's close enough and doesn't bother me.

    Went ahead this weekend and installed my driver side headlight last night. New passenger side replacement will be here tomorrow. Dam, what a difference these lights make in appearance. 100% satisfied in going this route.

    With your harness from slightwork do the leds dim when the headlights are on? Did you have to cut the grey wire inside the cab?

    LED DRL is on full bright at all times. I wanted it like that personally. No cutting of any wires.

    Badass truck man! Blue is my favorite color. That’s why I got my Kings. Glad you finally got your new headlights. They look super clean. Keep the pix comin

    Almost, there's still 4 chrome badges but I have the TRD Pro replacements already just need the time. It gets dark early AF now so have to make time this weekend hopefully.
