What Did I Do To My Truck Today.
Thursday April 8th;
After installing my Rize Kit with the King Shocks, Limiting Straps and Bump stops, Refer to Thread http://www.truckmodcentral.com/forum...ead.php?t=2688 I've taken my truck on the trails countless times. I've been hearing my front passenger suspension bottoming out on me. So I took it back to Wicked Creations who took the front suspension apart to cycle it. He then send the shocks to King, who's business is right next door, who added a 2" spacer on the shocks, an extra rubber bump and re-valved them.
Results of bottoming out:

I also had them re-weld my winch/light bar support, refer to post https://www.f150online.com/forums/ot...t-bar-tlc.html
I had also picked up 4 new spring leaf U bolt from Deavers the other day and since Wicked Creations were working on the suspension I had them install it instead.

Same hight, spacer allows the shock to travel further up without bottoming out. Notice in the second 2 picture where the first shock is threaded down to the second is threaded up.

My Kings were just at King this week too Its odd basically they did some similar stuff to mine. I think they are back with Sonny at Downsouth now though getting his final touch.
Would you say your Kings ride pretty smooth? or do you have them set up to be stiffer? I sent mine in to get a smoother ride and eliminate the "topping out" problem I was having.
Is your spring rate an 18"x800#? I thought that is what your springs read, mine is an 18"x700#; I wanted to swap out to a 16"x600# but Sonny and King said no need because of what they did with the 18" springs.
