    anybody running ADS coilovers with JBA uca's ? I just received my ADS 2.5 RR coilovers from the Headstrong and trying to decide what UCA's to run. I planned to run 255/85r16 on stock rims but found out they will rub the JBA upper. So its either get proper backspaced rims, wheel spacers or find a new UCA. Any suggestions ? Cant wait to get these things on. They look amazing

    No more Icon :anonymous:, not the biggest difference ride wise besides the rear which is super rad, but they look much sharper in quality and internally!

    Have you had any issues with the TC uniball squeaking ? That is the main thing keeping me away from the Total Chaos is hearing the all the stories of the uniball squeaking. Seems like its 50/50. Some people get it and some don't.

    Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road hooks it up, you might check with her to see if you can't get a decent price.

    Ive gone by their site a few times. They seem like a nice company to do business with. They have ADS lvl packages now like the other sets which is nice I think. I sit and piece it together and just look at the price tag.

    I’m down to talk to her and see what she can do for me. I’m sure she has been busy since the winter vacation.

    Her online price was a little bit higher in my experience. But I bundled everything. Its worth a try shooting her a message on here so you can finally join the ads club haha

    I would call and talk to Marie at Headstrong for sure. She was so helpful with all my questions and pieced together a ADS kit for me with Dakars before they started offering the ADS kits on their site.

    Do anyone running the Ads front and rears notice noises? I’m just curious after reading in some threads that racing shocks my “swoosh or click” or otherwise make more noise than stock set ups. I’m chatting back and forth with Marie about it as well but wanted to reach out to y’all too. Thanks

    Clicking is from bypasses. But other shocks shouldn't. I've never heard any noises from any of the trucks I've driven with ads shocks.
