I can try to remember to get a pic of the stance and maybe a measurement to the fender well for reference.

From my understanding on those King kits, they put a little spacer on the inside to limit the droop travel because stock ball joints can't handle it. They can remove that if you ask but you need uniball upper arms. I think it's like 1" more travel you gain.
I think when my ball joints go bad I'm going to try and get some uniball arms amd in a couple years when the Kings need to get rebuilt have them remove that. I very rarely max out the suspension but I would like to try it. But $1,200 for 1"🤔
Don't 100% trust me on that, just something King mentioned to me.
I appreciate the info as well as the pictures and time you've taken.
I think I'm going to get in contact with Thuren and try to get as much info as possible.
My biggest hurdle is that I have a dropped suspension.
Thanks again I certainly do appreciate it

No problem. On the Kings, I think they have a near year wait time still.

Damn, is that how long you waited for yours?
I'll see what Thuren says, hopefully hear back from them this week. I guess it'll give me plenty of time to my ducks in a row haha

No, like 3 or 4 months. I got them right before the COVID shortages.

So, I had to upgrade my motor mounts. Apparently the driverside mounts are notorious for failure constantly being punished trying to push a 6,000lb truck.
with some help from the forum, I went with the Atomic Fab and Perf. mounts.

Very happy with them so far. They came surprisingly fast and were beautiful. You can tell the guy who welded them has a great passion and probably eats his steak rare/med rare like a real man.

The passenger side... came out super easy once the starter was removed.

The driver side did not want to get past the header. After I called it a few names and used my tears as lubricant it came right out with a pry bar. The new one went it so easily!

I've had them in a couple hundred miles now and can feel more vibration when it's idling but it's not enough for my lady to notice I did anything.
I would highly recommend them to anyone. For my year atleast, they are basically the same cost for stock replacements so it's a no brainer. Just buy AFP!
