Front Coilover Kit With King Shocks

Best ride possible

With a leaf spring system your axle moves forward, back, and side to side so driving feel is very mushy. With links your axle as a designated path so everything feels more precise even the steering. This will make your truck perform more like a brand new one.

Your steering feel will even improve with adding the coilover link kit. As you steer your axle wont be pushed side to side like it does with leafs.

High quality shocks come standard

When getting into the coilover kit you instantly get a large body remote reservoir shock more than capable of handling anything you throw at it!

Long Lasting

Everything in this kit is comprised of very high quality materials that will lower your maintenance. No more replacing spring bushings or checking U bolts! Also having a softer suspension will be easier on the rest of the components of your truck.

Extremely Versatile

WIth our coilover kits you can do anything from nice on road daily driver to hardcore go fast dunes and everything in-between (rockcrawler, camping rig, overland, tow rig, and weekend cruiser). Weight is not a problem either! Can be anything from all aluminum LS to heavy diesel motored trucks with huge bumpers, the coilover kit will add performance with ease!

Probably!

Since there are varying skill levels that is a hard one to answer. This kit does require a lot of welding, cutting, and also free form fab. To see if you are up to the task check out our coilover resources page under the tech center

Crossover steering

If you don't have it already you will need crossover steering to run the coilover kit. We do carry these kits! Stock push pull steering and High Steer (tie rod above knuckles) will not work with the coilover kit.

High Clearance Engine Crossmember

For the 73-87(91) trucks and suv's you will need a high clearance engine crossmember for the panhard bar to clear. We carry those on our website

Other Items

You may need other items like longer brake lines, drive shafts, and a lift or links for the rear to match the front if you are starting with a stock (not lifted) truck

1969-1991 Chevy trucks/SUVs

Our kit will work will the 1969-1972 era GM trucks and SUV's as well as the 1973-1991 squarebody GM trucks and SUV's. It will not work with the later GMT400 or GMT800 IFS trucks.

What makes Parallel 4 link the best option

They have better driving manners, less wear, and more flex compared to a radius arm setup

High Clearance

This bracket is used for lift heights of 4" or less and is mainly used for rock crawling applications to keep the links high up away from the rocks. These brackets use our offset links

Mid Clearance

This bracket is used for lift heights of up to 4" on k5, k10, k20, and suburban applications. Or up to 6" of lift in K30 applications. This bracket is geared toward an all around use for some off road and some on road. These brackets use our offset links.

Low Clearance

This bracket is used for lift heights of 4-8" on k5, k10, k20, and suburban applications. Or 6-8" of lift in K30 applications. This bracket is geared toward an use where ground clearance isn't and issue but better link geometry is wanted. Things like street driven, go fast, dunes, and tow rigs. These brackets use our straight links.

Tall Truck

This bracket is used for lift heights greater than 9". These brackets use our straight links.

Spring rates and valving

We use the information you provide with use/info on the vehicle to spec out spring rates and valving for your build if your purchase the shocks through us. If you purchase shocks though another source sorry but we WILL NOT spec valving or spring rates.

King Coilovers

Our standard King coilover is a 2.5" body, remote reservoir, with blue/silver anodizing (other colors can be custom ordered). King is an extremely high quality shock company manufactured here in the USA. They do have some add on options like the IBP Internal bypass (great for hard hits keeping the shock from bottoming out) and the compression adjuster (used for changing mid speed compression).

King external bypass shock

The external bypass shocks add even more on the fly tuning. These are great for when you are wanting to use your truck as hard as possible! So if you plan to see air under your tires all the time add some external bypasses!

King Bump Stops

The bump stops are used to slow down the bottoming out of the suspension. If you plan on hitting full bump a lot add some of these bump stop. We typically run 2.5x2.5 with most of our rigs

Yes

With this kit you will need to cut your inner fender wells for the shocks/shock mounts to fit. If you have a stock A/C box it can be very difficult fitting shocks/shock hoops around it, we suggest going to an aftermarket one that moves the components under the dash for ease of install.

You can to a point

Typically you can move your axle forward .75" from stock, some have made 1" forward work. Anything past that you will need to move your steering gearbox which we do have a kit for.

A sway bar can help tame down body roll with your new soft suspension. We do carry coilover sway bar kits. These kits are a heavier bar great for on road. When you want to get your full travel off road we recommend disconnecting it.
