    Trust me, I'm watching to see how yours does. If you manage to get to even more places than before; Ill believe the MT front and SUA rear is a solid combo.

    I'm looking to join the kewl kidz ADS club soon... yours looks badass btw. question on the color - did you pay extra for that or is it an option? I didn't see colors listed on the website, but I wouldn't mind being able to stick to my TRD red color scheme

    Your build keeps getting better and better. I hope to be out in Tucson sometime early next year to camp with some family out there. I'm definitely hoping to get a chance to see that beast in person.

    and yeah, @STiLL WILL loves those upskirt shots .. perv. haha

    If I go SUA, which I most likely am. I'd imagine it will sit like yours since the Defined kit is just like the TC kit.

    I can do custom spring colors with the shocks, but it costs extra. He used the PAC springs which are available in orange

    Installed them on Sunday. Did the front first and tested them out on some seasonal roads with washouts and was extreamy happy how they performed compared to the OME 884 setup. No more slamming noise from topping out and the front doesn't bounce with every dip and bump in the road. Granted the OMEs gave just over 3" and now I'm just over 2" for better performance and ride IMO.

    When I tested the front before the rears were on I could tell that the back was too stiff (Dakars and OME sport shocks) and didn't keep up with the new front. After putting the clicky triples on, the ride was a lot better but was still stiff. Backed out the main compression tube a couple turns and like magic the ride was softer but still needed some testing and tweaking.
    Got my alignment yesterday and was able to put some miles on her and tweak in the rear. Amazing how different the ride is with a few turns of a bypass. Just for the recorded these are the first bypass shock I have owned or even seen. :D During the ride home today I kept trying to improve the already better rear end. After a few stops and climbing under the truck HOLY FUCK DOES SHE RIDE NICE!!!:taco:

    Thanks Matt for the sweet setup and putting up w/ all my questions and what not. I hear you are the only vendor supplying these 10" 3 tube bypass shocks.

    I'm putting this on my refrigerator for inspiration. :bowdown:

    Glad your happy with everything. You can crank the front up a little if needed to get 3". I do on most of my builds with no customer complaints. I just try to make sure to have a min of 2" of droop travel.

    As far as the rear, I spent alot of time developing all these different shocks for the aftermarket spring applications, so its easier for ADS to let me handle them.

    Nice set up. What made you go with the triple bypass and what are the advantages? Any issues with the shock coming in contact with the springs? The pic makes it look like your springs are about to clip your piggyback.

    I'm all but convinced this is the route I'll go when I finally get the funds since I only want to do it once :rolleyes:

    @Dogg23 Dude! What shock is that in the rear? I'm talking with ADS to get something very similar.

    It looks like a 2" shock with a piggyback reservoir with one or two bypasses. Does it have a clicker? Length 10"?

    Edit: @Silver02Taco okokok its a 2.5" shock :anonymous: i was just so excited
