Which ones the 2.5s with remote resis? Did you get the comp adjusters? Toyota has OEM front spacers, 3/8" I believe. Would level your truck out nicely and your springs will settle in a few weeks, plus the weight of your pending bumpers, etc... I'm sure the lift won't be so dramatic soon.
Yes, they're the 2.5" with remote reservoirs and compression adjusters (Part Numbers 25001-266A and 25001-267A) with their recommended 600-pound springs. I was tempted to go to 700, but maybe the next set.
I actually want the Kings, do a fair bit of dessert driving at speed. What don't you like about them?

The ride quality is very good, and all around they're nice components, but their initial quality and customer support are not in line with their pricing. Upon opening the box for the front, I was presented with a leaking left shock and a right shock with a gouged upper mount and cracked powdercoating at various places on the spring. Before ordering I was told that I could trade the springs for a different rate at no cost provided they were in like-new condition. They weren't even delivered to me in like-new condition.
The front reservoir brackets were mis-labeled left and right, which would not have been a big deal if there were instructions included with the product, but there weren't any. It wasn't until after asking about it, receiving no response, cutting my brackets apart, and TIG welding them back together in a manner that made sense did they send me an image with the correct side-to-side orientation.
When I called King to talk about the leaking shock, the customer service agent was very helpful, but his hands are bound with respect to actually solving problems. He had to go to his supervisor to get authorization to get the shock back, which took some time. After receiving the shock, they sat on it for approximately five business days. I was told the delay was due to someone being out sick.
I understand that I'm not a large racing team placing five-figure orders, but if a company wants to engage in the onesies and twosies market, the company needs to do so with the understanding that an element of buying premium products is an expectation of premium service. It took me getting upset for them to offer up a new front set in exchange for the two defective units sent to me initially. It was as if their quality control was out sick the day my set was packaged.
WOW!!! What a BEAST!!! What width and offset are those wheels? Did you add larger bump stops? I would def slap the Toyota spring spacers up front to level that rake out a bit.
The wheels are 18x8.5 ET50. I have 1.25" spacers, making my effective offset roughly 18. They fit well.
I haven't made bump stops yet because I wanted to get everything set up to take measurements.
