Great stance, what is your suspension, wheel and tire size, man?
King 2.5 coilovers and rear shocks which have now settled at about 2.5" total lift in the front and 2.75" lift in the rear
Rear springs are Dobinsons C59-559V
Factory 18x8 BBS wheels, 275/70R18 Ridge Grapplers w/ 1.25" spacers
Looks nice, and since I have 275/70/18 that gives me faith that a lift and spacers will be the ticket! I have an OEM level kit (front spacer) with OME stock style rear springs, really like the 2.5" stance...
You got 2.75” of lift from the c59-559v that states a 1” lift? I want to use these springs but I’m seeing heights all over the place.
Sure did, I made sure to take measurements before and after lift to check it. I was a little concerned with the stated only being a 1/2-1" increase in height as I thought the front would sit up much higher than the rear. From center of hub to fender:
Driver Front:
Before - 20"
After - 22 1/2"
Passenger Front:
Before: 19 7/8"
After 23"
Driver Rear:
Before: 20 1/2"
After: 23 1/4"
Passenger Rear:
Before: 20 5/8"
After: 23 5/8"
If you account for the slight KDSS lean it levels out to about 2.5" front and 2.75" rear. Just looking at my before measurements I always felt like I didn't have as much rake as most others from the factory; not sure if that was due to the 3rd row or not, but I was basically sitting within 1/2" of being perfectly level. I have a Dobinsons adjustable panhard bar, but that shouldn't impact height at all, other than that no other suspension mods.
Crystal Springs. It was my first time there and was very nice!

Sunday drive
How are your liking it?? It turned out amazing
I could not have asked for it to turn out any better then it did. Matching spare came in so the normal spare on the back is gone. I was limited on tires so tried the Nitto Recons and they have preformed wonderfully, but I don’t get snow here.
Amazing off road so far and still can cruise at 80 on the highway. Just need skids to come back in stock. Was holding off on a snorkel but it is about to be the rainy season so…..
I debated on the long range fuel tank but it is by far the best mod. Something about hitting 1/4 tank and hitting a button to avoid a stop at the gas station is great. Especially since I’m getting 12.3 average.
200 is basically an HK isn’t it?
Probably expensive for what it is, hard to find, ultra reliable, and trusted worldwide.
Intrigued by the wheels on the last one, any idea on the make/model?
