Help: 2010 King Ranch rear Air to Coil conversion *Pictures*

[Zero Offset]

Wanting to install my 3/2 spacer leveling kit which requires rear shocks because it doesnt work with the air suspension.

My 2010 King Ranch 4x4 SWB Expy has front coils and rear air-ride from the factory.

Rear kits are out there from $128 to $458 because the Arnott ones charge an extra $300 for their special module.

What are your kit recommendations?

I used adjustable links for the rear air, then ordered a 2" spacer for the front. The links are built by a member here but sold in EBay.

Also if you don't want to drop the $$ for the Arnott stuff you could use forscan to turn off the air suspension error message. I have the instructions on what needs to be edited here someplace

Found it. This was stolen from the video Monroe put out and while I haven't tried it ive been told it works perfect.

Thinking that rear coils will be more rugged and reliable but definitely looking into those adjustable eBay links.

I sent a message to the eBay seller you linked, asking him to clear up the part about adding spacers on airbags to prevent "topping-out" not sure at all what he is saying there.

If I do convert to coils, definitely plan on removing the airbags and compressor and using the forescan to fix the warning.

This is the spacer kit I already have: Traxda and they say it wont work with airbags...

Hoping someone has some coilover conversion kit recommendations. Maybe it would be kinda cool to keep the air if it still had an inch or so of leveling but I think 2" of lift maxes it out? not sure

Don't use cheapie crap in the rear, especially coming from air

Also, iirc, there's ways of tricking the rear air system to give you some lift if that's your only reason to swap

Cool, what kits do you consider cheap and which do you consider good?
