Suspension Advice- Icon, King, Alcan, deaver??

Figured I'd ask, had me curious if the specs lined up well or not. Thanks

 

Plus when the deavers start lasting and they find a formula that works I would prob go that route down the road

 

@14burrito @Trdwillie14
Yes. The icon and ads are different. Omega specs paired with the rxt pack will also change once you start moving to the different options.
I ran the rxt specifically for the weight rating @ 3rd option.
The ads will perform much better with the performance. I was going to move to the Deaver packs before I sold the truck to keep/maximize travel.

 

So couple questions about these for y'all, what do you think about poundage of coils? I'm going to be running a C4 Overland bumper shortly after with a winch. Should I got with 600lbs or 700lbs in kings? It looks like ADS has an option for 650lbs coils, but not with click springs for 2.5. Also, what about extended travel on the coilovers on the kings? This will be my first setup with coilovers as I've always run struts on both my chevy and tacoma I previously had. Thanks for the help everyone!

 

Have done a lot of reading, and I think 600lb is just too light for these big trucks, especially if you plan on adding an aftermarket bumper. As a point of fact, Tacoma’s typically run 600lb rated coilovers in the front and tundra is clearly bigger..

I am currently in the process of purchasing parts to rebuild a set of “new to me” reservoir Fox 2.5 (0-3” version) and was told today that they use a custom made 17” 700lb coil from Eibach. Same coilovers many people on here are running (aka @Trdwillie14 because he is already involved in this thread) and absolutely love. So boiled down, my 2cents is at minimum 650lb rated coils, but after you add that after market bumper, I think you will be happier running on 700lb rated coils upfront.

 

for what it' worth, i've got 700 lb springs on my Radflo's that toytec built. I absolutely hate them, i've got 600 lb springs sitting in my garage waiting to go on. Even radflo was puzzled why toytec would have matched them with 700 lb springs. With that, i won't ever run an aftermarket bumper.

 

ive got 800 lb on my LT spec kings

 

My old ADS I ran 600lbs, really liked them. Now, their 3.0 only come in a 650lb. I think I feel a difference, especially slow speed articulating.

 

700s. i have a bumper + winch and wouldn't do anything less.

 

Looks like this is a much bigger debate as well haha.

 

The 700s on my fox ride amazing but yet after riding in a tundra with icon and king I’m happy with my pick but that’s just my opinion. To each their own

 

I've been happy so far with the ADS mid-travel kit from MCM fab. Very nice set up. We'll see how long the U748's last!

 

Love my RXT leafs

 

Bilstein Lifts has a package of Kings with total chaos UCAs and the option to add Icon RXT leafs to it. Already talked to them about making the King Coilovers 700lbs. I've never dealt with bilstein before and was wondering if pairing the Kings with Icon RXT is okay or would I need custom length?

Ordered the 2.5 King smoothbodys and some Deaver U748's from filthy motorsports for the rear. I'll be ordering some total chaos UCAs and 2.5 coilovers soon!

 

How is your setup? Let us know what you think.

 

@Ry24000 Will do once they come in. Not sure when that is yet though.

 

KING has been shutdown for some time so hopefully Filthy had some stock.

 

@TheBeast Ben at Filthy didn't say there would be any delays on the shocks, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was.

 

good to hear. they probably have stock in their shop.

 

Just ordered the coilovers. They're checking with king to see if they have some coilovers with 600# springs to send and then the shop has 700# springs to switch them out with. Hopefully king has some coilovers ready to send and then I won't have to wait the predicted 6-8 weeks for those.

 

Parts started arriving today. Getting close.

 

Nice build you got going, can’t wait to see some awesome pics, after the install

 

Just got mine done at Camburg in Huntington Beach, went with King 2.5 coilover with adjusters in front and 2.5 with adjusters rear, kinetik UCA and a +1 coachbuilder shackle, method Roost with 305/70r18 KO2s, also threw on a Carven exhaust, drove it back to Utah and no complaints

 

Forgot to post a picture here of how everything is now after the install, plus a new GFC

 

That look sweet, by any chance how many threads is it showing if you don’t mind me asking and are they the same one both side.

 

I did 12 on drivers and 8 on passenger. I still had a lean on the drivers side even though others have said they don't with that. Gonna check it again this week on a level spot with the GFC and see. Still don't have the front bumper on though with the 700# coils as well.

 

What do you mean by the GFC, lmk what you come up with, mine still has the lean also. Dont want to crank driver side too much. Thanks

 

GFC = Go fast Camper. It's about 325 and is the big camper tent thats on the back of my truck now.

 

So after the camper and my tire, I'm sitting with about 450#'s in/on the bed. My rear is sagging down to stock height from the hubs. I thought these leafs were supposed to have 2" with 400-600#'s? Do y'all think I should call deaver and see if theres an issue?
