    Anyone running the 3" king superlift? Can't really find much about it. Wondering if the king's are stock length or if they are actually longer?

    Someone can correct me but there is no such thing as a King Superlift. King make OEM replacement coilovers that support up to 3" of lift on tacomas and otherwise custom shocks and coilovers.

    The OEM replacements are designed to work within the factory geometry

    There's not much to say about it dude. It's some king shocks with blocks all around to add some height.

    Go look at a king shocks thread if you want info.

    That's what I was wondering. Is it actually mid travel or is it just oem length king's with pucks?......

    I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what a mid-travel setup is.

    I will say, the blocks effectively reduce your down travel a bit up front. If you don't wheel you won't notice.

    I’d cancel that order and go with a kit from accutune or elsewhere that includes leaf springs and upper control arms. You’d be in the same ballpark as far as cost

    Edit:

    You’d probably be spending a bit more money now that I’m shopping around for King kits w/UCA and leafs.

    Dobinsons might be worth checking out. I ordered a kit from yotamafia and it should be here next Monday.

    I’m pretty sure most King and Fox kits are back ordered 2-3 months.

    King makes OEM shocks in extended travel length. They are ~2400 total. So then you want control arms and sone way to lift the rear.

    I don’t think you need 2.5 with reservoir shocks though.
