I have the Pro Comp 3" leveling kit
I plan to buy the Ready Lift Kit, longer A-Arms, and they have a bigger Tie Rod Kit as well.......beefer tie rods and ball joints......and gives you a choice of putting larger tires on.....up to 37" I believe...

For you guys running the coilovers, what size tires are you running? Im looking at getting the fox fronts and rears w/res on both. I'm just curious if 33s will look too small and thinking maybe go up to a 34in tire. I know with these setups the backspacing is limited to under 5 I believe and but Im probably looking at running either an 18 or 17in wheel, I like more sidewall personally.

Just thought I would throw my 2 cents in here regarding the questions about Kings.
I just put King's and Icon UCA's on my truck about 1500-2000 miles ago. I have the King 2.5's with compression adjusters on all 4 corners. I am finally getting them adjusted where they need to be for street/highway comfort and they ride like a dream. I can still adjust them firmer for off road which is nice. Also, when I tow a trailer I can adjust the rears to be a little firmer if needed. While this setup was WAY more expensive than the Icon shocks I felt like after my past experience with King it was the way to go. King still looks at every customer like they are a huge customer and has the best customer service. Lately Fox has decided that if you arent a trophy truck team with a $1M plus budget you get a longer lead time and less questions answered based on my experience. I also wanted the adjustability as my truck is on the highway a lot so comfort is important but I also wanted to be able to dial it up and hit the dirt hard and fast. I love the King's and wouldnt trade them for anything now, took a few weeks to get them adjusted right but now its spot on.

Check out my build thread for pics.
And go to filthymotorsports.com for the best price on the Kings and great customer service.
They are pricey, but you could buy the front and rear shocks and some icon UCA's for about what the camburg 2.5 kit runs. The upgrade to the compression adjusters is quite a bit more though.

Icons now have the ability to add compression adjusters on their shocks as well just for a reference. I really don't think the average person will be able to tell the difference between icons and kings. I think icon uses a different spring than king but other than that they are almost identical in every way. I don't think you could go wrong with either company.
