KR off road arb compressor mount does NOT work with king shocks

[fordguru]

Just FYI folks the KR off-road compressor mount does not work with king shocks.
the bracket that the side of the compressor mounts to on the shock tower interferes with the king shock mount I’ll try to get a pick. But a heads up

Well that sucks.

Please share a photo. I'd be curious to see what is getting in the way. I've got spacers on our demo truck and it works fine with that. I've also installed these on trucks with other lifts, no issues. So i'm curious why you are having an issue. Since it's using the top of the shock tower bolt, which means nothing should be getting in the way. Perhaps you are using the wrong bolt to put this on??? But please, share a photo when you can.

I’ll try to get a photo the king shock mount come up through the hole in the top of the mount so the L bracket hits that not allowing it to go onto the bolt

That seems a bit weird... our bracket has a slot in it for the bolt to fit through. Maybe you didn't have the support bar oriented in the right direction. So far we've worked on a few trucks with aftermarket suspensions... zero issues so far.

Well it was working fine on my bronco before the kings and now it doesn’t fit once kings installed.
See the part of the shock that pertrudes up into the coil mount that’s where the bracket hits and the slot not deep enough for the stud.
I obviously have the nut in the shock and the bracket just sitting there for now until I can figure out when I’m going to do.
Is there a way you can send me one where the slot goes all the way to the bend I should fit that way.

Ahh I see what you mean. I wonder what that thing is protruding up from it. Guess it's just a nicer collar as part of their entire kit.

So what you COULD do is put the end in a vice and rotate it 180 degrees. That would allow you to mount it from the other side.

If you don't have a vice I could try and bend one here and send it to you as a courtesy. It's not painted though it's just raw stainless steel (it was a prototype since we modified the bend radius 5 degrees).

But that's also why we use stainless because it won't rust

Let me know. Happy to try and figure out something for your unique install.

And no, we can't have the bolt cut-out go all the way to the bend. It would cause an issue with the brake. The brake would bend and the 2 "tabs" would not sit level with each other and would bend all sorts of weird ways (it's why we didn't actually bring that opening all the way to the bend if you want the truth, earlier attempts had it going all the way but we found the "ears" were all crooked)

I appreciate the willingness to assist.
I’ll see if I can just bring the hole further in or bend it

Were you able to get this to work? My Kings should be here Wednesday. Hoping I can retain the ARB mount for sure

Any updates on a fix for this?

I’ve got Kings and trying to decide on a compatible ARB mount. There are others that do not mount to the shock tower.

Does yours have that blue collar? That is what is getting in his way

 

[GeorgeFromDallas]

Yes, same larger, blue collar.
