Measure the gap from the guard lip to the rear axle centreline.
I've got the factory specs.
as per my last post, centre of hub to guard is 370mm, give or take. hard to be mm perfect.Quote:

not sure if its still the case, but kings used to make a range of spring heights, not just the standard 3 stages of low, super low and SSL. Been a long time since i looked at suspension.
I think kings still do custom heights, you just need to go through one of their agents.
Kings make countless heights for a customer, custom order and you pay more naturally.Quote:

So your wishing to retain a flat sill line for stance - haha, typical customers, compramise is hard to achieve.
The ride is good ? yer I know for the shocks are cactus :) rides like a couch. The oil viscosity is gone, mixing with the air inside the tube therefore "foaming", nice smooth ride but shocks really not working to optimum.
This is the perfect scenario of a road test comparo - comparing a nice low k same FG as yours under 60thou k's - guarantee yours does not handle as well as it should and its braking distance in emergency has increased, just saying.
All springs sag after a while. My Kings have done 120k and the front has sagged, (the back has gone up!) Looks like a Hot Wheels car.

no doubt all cars sag, but mine wouldn't be very much in the time i've owned it. My carport goes through to my pergola, which is a bit of a step up. My front spoiler just noses over this split level, with about 10-20mm clearance, and that is still the same today as the day i brought it home. It wouldn't have to sag much and it would scrape, and it doesn't scrape.
Although if your rear has sagged more than the front, which is quite possible considering you tow, the front may actually sit artificially high.
