Don't worry about it. Ask as many questions as you want.Not to highjack your thread, but how do you think the freedom track bar compares to the core 4x4? It's literally half the price lol. Not sure if you have experience with core
Ty. I haven't looked underneath yet. I think once i get the bumper mounted in the truck it should be easier to figure out where to mount the control box. Chassis Unlimited said they were going to look for a couple of pics i could use as examples today as well.That looks cool. Can you mount the winch controller on the radiator support by the tipm? That’s what I’m looking at doing whenever I get around to building my winch tray and ordering a winch. May require some custom brackets
Ty. The wife wants to help but the bumper is a little heavy so I’m improvisingGoing to look awesome when you get it on! You’re more trusting of the bumper’s balance than I would have been, lol
Thanks a lot bro. Lots of work to get the facker installed. The ICI bumper was a breeze compared to this oneTruck looks mean with that bumper. Nice work!!
Great info regarding the amount recommended preload on the Kings.End up doing one turn in the passenger side and two on the driver side, so i have total 12" open threads in the driver side, 11 in the passenger side.

How to Measure your coilovers
With your vehicle at ride height on level ground, measure from the top of the “top cap” to the center of the lower shock bolt. This is the shock length at ride height with the vehicles weight on the shocks. With some quick math, we can figure out where the shock is sitting and how much up or down travel it has from that point.
(see chart for max height suggestions)
In my case Coilover top hat to lower shock nut eyelet at ride height: 20 1/2". I called Accutune this morning to find out how much more preload i could add.
Accutune recommended not to exceed 21" for our King application. Total extended lenght in the coilover is 22.5"
So i have ground to fender is 39 1/2 front", 42" rear.
I could go up another 1/2" but i don't want to sacrifice that last 1/2" travel for now. good to know i can add an extra 1/2 on top of what i have already via preload.

I’m going to order this as well, I really don’t like how mine is on the frame rail.Found Vice Design have a winch control box relocation kit specific to our RAM's, and in this case they have one for the Smittybilt X20 Comp winch and another for Warn VR Evo winch. Little expensive but what that heck i want to be done with it so just ordered the Smitty version tonight.
