    So these aren't going on a Tacoma, but they sure are pretty! Figured I'd bump with this and hopefully Matt and Connor will throw some new photos up soon too!

    Well this has been one hell of a hassle for you. What size tire you running?

    not sure why the dealer would have been shitty? ADS built the shock with the wrong top cap, Dealer contacted ADS right away and got the customer call tags to get him the correct shocks. Customer has an issue with the reservoir line on Sunday, posts a pic on the forum, fabricator that's not a dealer on the forum, calls out dealer? not sure how that works...

    He did have to wait a few days for an "email" with the shipping label and he still had to drive the 2 hours down and get the shocks reworked. Didn't just hand him new ones.
