dt255, can you do me a big favor and measure the distance from the wheel center to the bottom of the front fender at full drop when you get a chance....I know this is not easy and requires the front tire to be lifted off the ground.

Also, this measurement would be much appreciated from a stock truck to see what it should be.

I'm still struggling with my supposed OEM setup and wonder how much King decreased your travel to put it back to safe working limits.

For now I have appoxied a steel shim where the shock contacts the lower control arm to decrease downward travel. I have decreased downward travel from 26" to 24.5" which I'm assuming is close to stock.

Stock = 23"

Thanks Brian.

FYI - King's excuse for why dtt and I had trouble with this kit is that it was never intended for sale in North America?

I'll be speaking with them this coming week, and I will bring up the issue. The suspension travel is no different on any 200, worldwide, as far as I know. So the not intended for North America argument doesn't hold water, IMO.

i finally pulled the trigger today and went with Radflo's. their support is bar none. dealer had some questions re installation and Mike was on the phone with them in minutes; questions answered!

Question is, do the Icon rear trailing arms make any difference??? can anyone advise? thank you

Obviously stronger but not sure they change the travel performance too much.

The do look friggin awesome however! JB Horne fitted some I believe. PM him.
