King Shocks DIY install underway UPDATED WITH NEW PICS

[Aztec1382]

Did you install them with the preload the kings came with, or did you crank down the collars
If going above 2 inch will you need to change out the uca

the tubular camburg UCA seems like a good deal

I did not change preload, just the way they came

How did you get it back to torque spec when you were finished?

My DeWalt took those bolts out so when I reinstalled the bolts, I just went until the DeWalt stopped.

So I have the same setup but running BFG K02 35x12.5 with 17"+0 offset. I want to move up to 37's.. but curious about how wide your K03's are (e.g. 12.5, 13.5). Can you supply your complete rim and tire specs? Also have you tested for any rub?

Your CV and tierod angles look much better than mine. Could you take a look at what spring rate and length you have on your front coils? Mine came with SPR 3-16-550 and after 1000 miles I still have some steep drive angles on the driver side (shorter axle).

There are lots of great aftermarket shock manufacturers out there. King is always in the discussion. We are trying to decide who we will work with to compliment out billet and fabricated suspension components.

Hi - I recently had the same shocks installed on my Bronco and too am having issues with the rear reservoirs (35" tires rub on flex). See thread I recently posted under my username. If you have any suggestions I'd much appreciate it. The shop I paid to do the installation has left me hanging.
