Default KIng coilover install

Does anyone have experience installing king coilovers on a 2015+ f150? I recently purchased and they did not come with any instructions. Any help would be appreciated.

Stage 3 did a video on the fox 2.5 install. Same install process as Kings.

I'm going to do the install when my King 2.5's come in as well. Got another month wait time.....

Horrible photo of the reservoir mount.







Just finished the install, but still need to get an alignment. It was very straight forward, the hardest part was mounting the reservoir mounts. I still need to adjust the height about +.5” in the front. I am running 35x12.5x17 tires. The wheel offset is 0. I do have some minor rubbing on my crash bar and inner fender at full left lock. Here are a few pics.

Nice, how’s the ride and how much lift did they give you?

They are currently set at 2” I am going to be bumping them up to 2.5” and the ride is significantly better. Very planted feel.

Did you have to remove the hub to have enough room to get the stock coilover out or was there enough room to just pry down on the lower control arm? I have a set of icons to install and I’m looking for a few pointers.
