Weight or no weight...the shock is attached and that's the angle at full droop. Wish I cuold see the CV in there too.

The 100 series truck in the pictures on Total Choas website is mine.Weight or no weight...the shock is attached and that's the angle at full droop. Wish I cuold see the CV in there too.
Finally got the new King Shocks and they are night and day better for my application. I need to find some dry weather and load it up to really test them out though. As for the weight issue. I need a diet, but short of that stiffer tbars would help. My problem is not the front it is the rear, so I think I solved the issue by going to 864's. At full load now it sits level with very little rear squat.Wow...8000-pounds. Crap!
*No doubt you are salivating for a better shock.
*You addressed the rear spring by adding an 864.
*Have you though about addressing the front spring (T-bar) or do you feel the OME bar is adequate? You could add more rate by going with a Sway-A-Way bar. Even more support with an Ironman. The Ironman's are not good for crawling as they are too stiff. They might be perfect for you though for your application.
*With all that weight have you considered reinforcing those front lower control arms to prevent possible cracking like the diesel ones have had happen due to the added weight of the diesel motor. Weight is weight and those arms might be over-stressed.
Clearance on the shock reservior is fine. I run 33" tires. If you have 35" I do not know. On the passenger side it would be easy to mount the resorvior up on top the frame, but the driver side is a blocked by the washer fluid tank. It can be done though. If you look at how spresso did it for his Fox setup you will get some ideas. He runs 35's.So I just checked the wheel wells on my non lifted hundy and it appears that at full lock and in flexy situations there could be potential of tire rub on the reservoir or the tube at the chosen location. How is your clearance?

Yes the limit is provided by the shock.Rubs on the back corner of resv.
See no limit straps on yours, take it Kings are designed to provide limit stop. On CV's think Loud is only one to explode one.
Does anyone know what the part numbers are for the King Shocks.
I checked their latest catalog online but they only list parts for the HDJ100 - nothing for our UZJ.
