    Hi All,
    Just bought the Stage 3 ADS shocks with Medium Dakars from @HeadStrong Off-Road. I am pondering whether I need to up my bump stop game. How easy an install is the ADS bump stop?

    Thanks.

    What's the pros/cons to getting extended travel fronts?

    I have SPC UCAs, so is getting extended travel a no-brainer? Is there anything else I'll need to consider with extended travel, like clearance or anything?

    I just ordered them, so interested to hear on this too. Otherwise, I guess I am the guinea pig.

    You get that extra 1" of droop! If you have aftermarket UCA's, then yeah, you should go for it!

    I have road armor & the 2.5 remote resis w/clicker (700 springs) in the front & 2.5 piggies in the rear. At the Baja 500 I went 7 miles past Mike’s Sky Ranch with quite a lot of weight on board. That place is steep & chunky! I rolled at 8 clicks and the shocks were amazeballs at handling the terrain with the droop they have. A couple weeks ago I was in Rocky Point Mexico and got a chance to hit some stuff at speed and really test these shocks out. I messed with the settings a bit and ended up cranking them to 18 to take the whoops & whatnot. You just need to find the settings that work for you & your rig. It is simply a great time wheeling with ADS strapped on!

    Just thought I'd share. The goodies are starting to pile up. Cannot wait to install!!!!

    I must, in the strongest terms, recommend @HeadStrong Off-Road . There is no customer who is a bigger pain in the rear than me (I ask a lot of questions and tend to overthink everything) yet Marie patiently guided me through this process!!

    Anyone order custom triple bypasses from ADS? If so whom did you order from? Trying to price out all the manufacturers for bypasses and so far King is winning in the price to quality ratio.

    Thanks. Just Sent Marie a PM. Any idea who to contact from DSM? I've heard they do a TW discount but I'd imagine not all their reps know it. I previously hadn't been considering ADS because of the price point but considering I'd have to get the kings recolored (plz no blue), it might come out to about the same.

    I went through Micah who I believe runs the DSM account here. This was a few years ago though.

    What kind of bypass are you looking for? ADS will generally be a little higher on the price, but their shocks are better compared to the King Race Series, so you tend to get a better value when comparing apples to apples. I do alot of custom bypass configurations for Toyota Applications. Shoot me an email if your interested and I can see what I can do to help.
