    No doubt in my mind, best decision I've made for my truck yet, and I plan to stick with ADS indefinitely. More big things to come for my build as well. Spend alittle more and you'll never look back

    My Spindles arrived yesterday. These things are huge! I guess I will coat them with a automotive clear before install. Ordered my Fox Suspension yesterday. Next to order is leaf springs (Dakar), wheels and tires. I think I may wait on wheel spacer at the rear until after I run the truck for a week with the new suspension. I am shooting for the end of the month first week in August install. I will give myself two days for install.

    You are in my old neck of the woods. I saw that on Sunday. I will try to hook up next time everyone gets together. I have to get this stock queen fixed up first. The WMA is not far from me here. I think I watched some of the videos?

    Quick question. If I just have the spindles up front and replace the factory leaf pack with a 2 inch leaf pack will it be pretty level? Also will I need a spacer up front for taco lean? Thanks

    Probably not. Most guys replace the rear pack with the 3" all pro standard pack and most say once the rear leafs really settle in they're a bit nose high still. Barely. But still.

    Best way to know is measure the truck now. If the rear is 2" higher than the front than you would sit level. You may want to look into OME dakars and the Dakar AAL.

    My Spidertrax Spacers arrived. I am only installing them in the rear to balance with the front. The front kicks out 3/4 per side and the spacers are 1 1/4.

    So I have the spindles, spacers, the Fox Suspension will arrive Monday. I need to decide on the tires and wheels. Once I have decided that I will order the remainder which is wheels, tires, Dakar 2.75 leaf springs, carrier bearing shims, and nerf bars. Tough decision on the wheels. I am leaning towards the PVD Chrome, however, the black does look good too. The tires are pretty set on the Nitto Trail Grapplers 285/65/18. The wheels will be Fuel Hostage. Anything I missed?

    Thinking I may video the install.

    Depending on how much lift you're going for you may need a driveshaft spacer.
    Good choice going with Fuel's, I think they make nice rims, have a bunch of nice designs & you don't see them very often. It was a tough decision for me but I finally decided on the Kranks.
    Nittos are nice but kinda heavy at least in 35's. I went with Cooper Discoverer STT which in a 35 are about 10 lbs lighter & cheaper than Nitto & Toyo. They just came out with the STT Pro that looks really nice.

    Spruce, I was looking under the vehicle this morning and the driveshaft is flush with the metal flange. We will see what happens? I anticipate at least 3/4 movement out. The rear will be slightly higher than the front. So 4 inch lift in the rear.

    The toughest decision with the wheels is the finish color.

    Doesnt matter how much you lift rear or front, youre still adjusting the height difference of frame (transmission level) to rear axle, and that will cause the driveshaft to pull out some. My driftshaft poked out about an inch with a 4" lift all around

    This is how mine looked after 5.5" of lift, I have a 1.5" spacer. The black part should be flush with the silver, I believe that's what you're talking about when you say flange. It seems like it pulls out about 1/2" for every 2" of lift. When I just had a 2" lift in the rear it was out about 1/2" so your estimate of 3/4" should be pretty close, maybe an inch.

    At least spindles and an AAL with rear shocks. With that setup you'll have a little bro lean but you can add a block to level.
