OK, getting ready to install the following on my 2012 FX4:

Front:
King OEM Series Remote Resi Coilovers
RPG UCA's

Rear:
King OEM Series Piggyback Resi Shocks
Deaver Mini Pack

Am planning on still running the stock FX4 wheels with my 275/65/20 Michelin LTX AT2's, am I going to have issues with the tires and UCA's touching?

If so, I hate even saying this, but maybe a 1/4"-1/2" wheel spacer to get by until new wheels are in the budget?

I have been wanting to do this exact set up my self. and stay with my stock 20" rims also. I have two sets of wheels, one for summer tires and one for studded tires. So I am not interested in having to buy two more sets of wheels if I added UCAs. I don't know if this will work either. Everything I read before said new wheels with a proper backspacing were required. But I honestly think that is only if you have the OEM 17" wheels. Let me know how it turns out. And Good Luck!

I have 18 x 8.5 x 20 mm offset cepek torque wheels. I'm running 275-70-18 Cooper AT-3's. I think the backspace issue is overblown. I installed Icon Tubular UCA's and they have tons of room. I mean like almost fit my fist between the wheel and UCA. The fact of the matter is that they are almost identical in size dimensionally as the stock UCA's. I was expecting this monstrously oversized UCA. I cant see needing the extra 1/4-1/2" with spacers.
Give it shot and then go from there. I swapped wheels because I wanted a wider rim for future wider tires. Although I am happy with the present size. Plus I like the black and chrome wheels compared to the stock Lariat wheels. Good Luck

Bump, anyone else have useful information?

Thanks,

I like your plans. I drive a 2010 King Ranch, crew cab. I installed King OEM Performance Series shocks about a year ago and just had them revavled to soften up the first 2" of travel. Coincidentally, I just had a set of Michelin AT2 in 275/65 R20 installed today. I've had a couple sets of these tires on other trucks before and I absolutely love them. I've run a set of Goodyear Silent Armor's for the last year and really disliked the noise and the unnecessary harsh ride.

My front king Coilovers are set to about 1 3/4" high and i have absolutely no rubbing issues at all.

Good to hear, are you running stock wheels? Aftermarket control arms?

Don't know the answer to your question, but subbing for pics!

I should get some Icon UCA's in today and hopefully will have all of my stuff installed next week. Will for sure get pics then.

Thanks,

Hey Eric,

Got any pics of your resevoir mounts? Just curious to see them and if you've had an issues with them down low.

Should have all my stuff installed mid week next week, working to find the right shop to do the work. Will post pics when I am done

Thanks

Wes,


Here's the one pic that I have on my phone. You won't have any issues with them mounted on the frame rail. With the wheels turned just a little but there's plenty of room to get in there to adjust the compression dials.
