King Coils

[ocmcqurus]

I have been doing some research and would love the communities help with this. I am not going to load my Grenadier down with drawer systems and extra weight and the majority of time it will be a daily driver, BUT I want the stance to be at the least level. I can’t do the snow plow look, my personal preference, no offense to people with different opinions. That being said I don’t want the grenadier to be huge and I’m thinking of going with a 33-34 tire for many reasons. Is the best option the 1.2 front springs only or do I do the 1.7 front 1.2 rear or I have heard that someone made some springs with King that match their shocks. Has anyone run anything other than the Eibachs?

For a level stance with minimal lift and 33-34" tires, the most common and effective solution is the Eibach 1.2" front springs only. This directly targets the factory rake without adding significant height or weight. The 1.7/1.2 combo will give you a more noticeable lift all around.

The King spring setup you heard about is a custom set from OME (Old Man Emu), not Eibach. It's a full spring and shock combo, which is overkill for your daily driver goals if you're not also upgrading the shocks.

Stick with the Eibach 1.2" front springs. It's the simplest and most proven path for what you want to achieve.

Just to clarify, King has no affiliation with Old Man Emu, they are a race bred suspension with credentials from desert racing. I have them on my current and former Land Cruiser 200 series'. They are amazing suspensions. IMO, overkill for primarily street driven vehicles. They are amazing on dirt, corrugations, and offroad.

My 2 cents is to find a top suspension shop and talk with them about your needs, interests, loads, and use cases. Don't just buy off the shelf or the internet. Deal with a real person who does this every day 24x7x365.

Ben Brazda from Filthy Motorsports is who I've worked with. Well worth every minute spent learning from his expertise.

Thank you for your input. If anyone has photos of their grenadier I would love to see them.

What about using the metal cloak 1inch spacer?

I saw that, if I’m going to pay the labor I figure I might as well purchase springs and shocks to help the body roll and ride quality. In addition, I am going to go hit the tracks so I want it to preform well Offroad as well.
