Who has done UCAs and King 2.5s?

[themikeyan]

Ahh yes SVC they are well known for their raptor work and they make a killer front tube bumper, leaves a little too much exposed for me, but if they would have added a little bit of sheet metal to cover up a little bit of the front end I would have gotten that over the westin bumper.

Still, APG is the only company I know that would sell Kings right now. I see a website every time I look up king bypasses and bump stops it is called downsouthmotorsports.com anyone ever order from them or know if they have kings in stock??

not here... i would hazard their kings are on backorder like everyone elses, but you could always call and see if they have an inbound order with extras. I got lucky and ordered last august and it ended up being a 3.5 month wait

Icon, APG, Camburg, BajaKits, are all great companies for uppers on a mid travel. Am I missing any others?

Is icon the only one doing billet uppers?

Our truck is a 2021, so it has the cast iron spindles, and Camburg is the only company I've been able to confirm that makes UCAs for the cast iron spindles...

I guess I'll need to check on the King backorder situation- we're planning a road trip to Moab in October...

APG has an option for aluminum or cast iron spindles.
If you go to the automotiveperformancegroup.com website
--> shop
---> suspension
---> midrunner package
There is a drop down for cast iron or aluminum spindle type, regular or HD deavers, and black or blue anodize on the upper arm. They will also ship the Kings right now.

Stage3motorsports show a time to ship of 6-8 weeks, not sure how accurate that is I would talk to Jason if I wanted to go down that route. I have ordered about 5 different times from them and they were all delivered within a week, but I only order in stock items because I am impatient and have seen complaints about inaccurate ship time on items that were ordered but not in stock.

Hey King guys- sway bar, or no sway bar?

Not for me but I was too lazy to remove skid to pull it off outright, which turns out to be a good thing since I'll be testing some different quick disconnect endlinks

After hours of researching I found the king coils on their coilovers to have a spring rate of 550 so I got eibach 550's on with my long travel and no sway bar. Feels kinda soft tbh. But I have more travel. I believe no sway bar allows more travel but it rides different.

I know I don't have kings but I've learned to be open minded and take info from everything about the truck to make decisions.

Fair enough. Thanks...

Thanks. If I end up not needing it, that's even more weight I can take off of the front end...

After a phone conversation with King, the product number for the coils of the 2019+ Ranger coilovers is SPR3-14-600

So, King Coilovers for our Rangers have a spring rate of 600#. Some builders or retailers may swap them out for the softer 550# you mention. But, directly from King they have a 600# rate.

Kings with Baja kits Upper and lower arms

Allen your truck is sitting pretty man nicely done. They should consider selling that bumper it looks good. Are you going to re gear this thing when the kits come out? It would probably make it rip.

Thanks man I was going off of a photo that I found after hours of researching so it could have been a generic photo, I was tired and got excited lol. I think I'll put 650's on. 550 is really soft the plus side is it feels great on road but I bottomed out when I sped up on a big dip in the road when I landed.

Two words: air bumps...

Are air bumps different than hydraulic bump stops?
My point was that I shouldn't have bottomed out from a dip in the road with long travel, stiffer coils alone should have kept me from doing so right? I haven't measured how much up and down travel I have yet I've had my LT kit on for a week. My lowers have mounts for a bypass and a mount for limit straps but Bajakits is designing the mount for the top of the bypass and I think I know where a good spot is for the bump stops to hit the lower arms.
