    he said later this afternoon so we will see if they actually do. In the mean time, I did find out that King Shims will indeed work for ADS Shocks as well. So @tetten I may need to borrow your extra coil overs for a little while if I have to rip these apart and do it all myself with out ADS.

    Always slow this time of the year for the shock companies because its the start of race season. Parker425 and KOH was last month, this weekend (three and a half weeks later) is the Mint. All of the techs were busy getting shocks out to the teams.

    If you make it out this weekend they are yours, one of them is bent, the other has the internal limit destroyed. Both are still usable though

    Just pull out the little flutter shim. Could leave the 2 big shims in there. That will help out with your bottom out. Street going to be a bit more rough.

    Brian from ADS called back and now we are making progress on getting the shocks set up. Should have shims on their way to me today or tomorrow. Now that progress is being made, I gotta say, Brian does truly care about making sure that He understands and is making sure we are taking a tuning step in the right direction. So now, I can't complain about the customer service. Just took too long to get here and too many calls.

    Yeah - Part of it I will contribute to bad timing. first call I made to them was Monday of KOH Week. so I excused that and didn't mind them not getting back to me that week. I get it. so that I forgave that week. then it was the 2 more phone calls that went un-returned. Took down notes and then, "We will call you back". A month later we are finally making progress.

    Right. It's all compromises. that being said, i like my highway confront but hate that I have to let out over the big shit cause I bottom out. and yes, I might just be asking too much from a one stock length shock.

    yeah - from what I understand, Brian runs ADS so I don't think there is anyone else I can talk to above him.

    Wouldn't that be great to get it right the first time? hahahaha one can only dream.

    Awesome. The truck would just need them to sit on during the time so it's off jack stands.

    I have a set of stock sr5 shocks for the front if you need them. Not sure if they will work for you.

    Awesome. I’ve gotta run out to Andy’s this weekend and if his shocks don’t work I’ll hit you up.

    Thinking about getting this Smittybilt RTT before Mojave at the end of month, anyone have any experience? It's one of the cheaper options on the market...

    Fucking crazy how expensive a tent becomes when it's mountable on a roof rack, jesus christ.

    Hit up @YotaGurlIAm or @uhplifted, they have a cheaper tent that works really well. Can’t think of the manufacture and I’m too lazy to look it up. I’ve seen them though and they are totally worth it.

    Hey have a local pickup deal too!

    I have that one. Bought it on the recommendation of @MonkeyProof who has one also. I’ve got no complaints at all.

    Looks like their cheapest option is the equivalent of the Smittybilt Overlander at the same price, and I could pick up both locally...hmm...
