Ride is horrible? Huh.
I haven't seen anyone with them yet on the new ones. But have read a few posts from guys wondering the same as you.
I would have to guess a set of 2.5” kings would most likely ride much worse on road than the stock setup…unless you like the stiff, high speed corner controlled spirited type driving. Off road at high speed with rough terrain, well yea they would shine. You plan on doing that with it ?
Nice looking rig!
Ride is spongy. Rides great until you do a lane change on the freeway, hit a bridge junction or off camber driveway, etc. The lack of rebound tuning makes massively uncontrolled in any situation where you get into the suspension more than 1-2".
They'll for sure stiffen up the ride but i can re-valve them to be what i need if they suck. 4-corner coilovers makes a commitment and pain in the ass to revalve so i hope i don't need to - exactly why i was hoping to get ride feedback from someone in the know.
Nope, i have an adventure-built Ram Cummins with a Carli Long-Travel and Go-Fast Camper, then a new Super Duty with a Carli 5.5" E-Venture, these will serve as my off-road rigs but the suspensions have spoiled me. This will be the wife's midget-hauler but i want a composed ride.
Yes. Use search function.
I’ve been looking at long travel kits and it seems there’s no issue bolting on a long travel kit from the Silverado. The problem lies with the rear. The closest I’ve found is a Fabtech extended upper rear arm but does nothing for a wider track. What do you think about Dirt King long travel...

See Nov 19th post.
I did - it pulled up one irrelevant thread about long-travel kits in which a singular member mentioned he waited a year, then installed the bolt-on kings. The thread contained no pictures of the actual suspension short of a single visible rod-end.
As i was looking for lift heights, ride reports and suspension pictures, i thought I'd create a thread to see if it drew anyone. Thanks for your help.
