With the coils so compressed, almost touching, are you worried about fatigue?
To soon to tell but still holding height so far. Even my metal cloak springs compressed as much

curious how the clayton 3.5" overland plus worked out for you? how much lift did you end up with and what degree of rake? do you usually have an empty bed or constant load?From what I can tell so far, the biggest concern is if you want to go to a triangulated 4 link like the Rock Krawler setup, you will need to move the DEF tank. Other than that, their is an obvious difference in weight. I'm not sure it is enough for most of the companies to make any substantial changes in the setups. Maybe as time moves on their will be some different shocks or springs but volume will dictate that. I am going with the Clayton 3.5" Overland Plus with a spacer if needed.
What size tires are you running?Evo MFG 4.5" diesel specific springs. Overall, it rides WAY better than stock. Less bouncing, better handling, smoother ride. Delightful on the highway. I'm thrilled with it.
Factory steel bumper and Warn 12k winch on the front. No spacers yet.
looks expeeeeeeeeeeensive. Where is KING and Rebel located?That’s a great question. So I had the 20 jt gas and had king coils and it was 400/350 as I was pretty heavy up front with grumper and such. This round I had king weigh each corner with everything on it and it ended up being 400 top over 500 bottom. Its just perfect.
They have a location in Texas and Southern california (rebel) and King is located in Southern Calfornia as well.looks expeeeeeeeeeeensive. Where is KING and Rebel located?
For clarity, are you saying that these spring rates are between 350 and 500lb/in?That’s a great question.

Yes that is correct.For clarity, are you saying that these spring rates are between 350 and 500lb/in?
A little late response I know. I have about 20,000 miles on a Skyjacker 4.5" lift. It works great; however, I purchased my kit without shocks and used Fox 2.5 instead. We ran the Rubicon trail, and pull a 3200lbs teardrop travel trailer with it, no issues. Also, yes mine is a diesel, and no, I didn't regear.Any information or experience here on the Skyjacker diesel lift?
