Hate to see that, but at least it didn’t damage the hose or fittings! Had to go check my mounts to make sure that won’t happen to mine when I get the 37’s installed.

Quick question -how many clicks are you running on your adjusters up front?
The bracket and clamp are the only things that got hurt. Ben @ Filthy says the clamp shouldn't be more than $40 - I'm waiting on that email.

I'm running all four corners at 3 clicks from softest.

Good to hear! I’m running at 12 clicks so was just curious.

Did you adjust your front collars after running them for a while? Mine are at the top of the threads & I’m getting noise from the coils. Plan on tightening them up a bit to level it up when I put the larger tires on.

I did back the fronts off a couple threads from how they were delivered, but not to where they make any noises. There's still a couple threads showing up front.

I haven't finished my tire swing arm yet, so I haven't touched the rears at all. I have maybe 1/2" of rake now, so it's really close.

The Mrs. likes the cushy ride. lol

Mine are still as delivered with 4-5 threads on the rear and maybe 1 on the front, so I’ve got around a 1” rake. Thinking I’ll crank the fronts down to 4-5 like the rear and back off a few clicks on the adjusters. The extra weight of a 37” spare will probably squat the rear a little bit, though, so I’ll wait until they get here before adjusting anything.

Really appreciate your input on this thread. It’s been a lot of help with getting mine installed and set up.

Off the truck carnage pic. 🤣

Ford Bronco King 2.5 Bronco kit installed PXL_20220914_041132253


I ordered a riv-nut kit that'll be here the same time as the extreme clearance kit. No more being limited by where I can reach the back of the hole for mounting options. 😎

Finally got my Kings installed. Set at 0 preload up front and about 1/2 in the rear. Set like this from King.
got about 2.25” lift up front and about .75 in the rear. Winch and bumper up front so would be around 3 with stock bumper.
Front shocks were about .75” longer than OEM and rears were about 1.0”.
Little rigid on small stuff on the road but soaks up bigger stuff good.

Overall, spring rates could drop a little bit but rides ok. Plenty of damping. About the same body roll up front, but rear is definitely more rigid/less roll.

Plan to stay on 33s for the foreseeable future

Looks really good! I tried to convince myself I didn’t want to put big tires on mine, but I just wouldn’t listen….😄

Looks good. Is that the 4wp rear bumper? Any more pictures of it?
Yes. It's the 4WP rear bumper. I can take some pictures for you.

It's nice. the only issue I have is the alignment with the read quarter panel. Doesn't sit parallel. Some people have the same issue, others do not.
