Mine used to hit the bump stops if I ran over anything
higher than a thong.
Not very fun over
the corrigations off road.

Take the extended shackles out...Replace with standard. Will give you back some lost shackle angle and ride a lot smoother. After that you might want to drop a leaf or two out of each spring. |

To the original question, what want33s said & 20 psi should be your street pressure, off road you should drop down to around 15 psi. |

removing a leaf is pretty easy with only basic tools required Hey steknig it's all cool, if people keep baging the kings we should be able to get them cheaper. |

Pete, out of interest what combination are you running, what part number kings (there are 3 variations available), what shocks, what size wheels and tyres. |
