    Will do, I plan to attempt a write up on these in my build thread. I try to keep this thread updated with my experience as well. I have a 5000 mile+ trip in November so I will get to test the new suspension out in Montana, Utah, and Colorado.

    I have 650lb springs on right now but have 600's on order and plan to swap them out soon. Almost no preload with the 650's so I figure switching to a lighter spring would be the right thing to do.

    Those are some mighty fine straight CVs. Good job

    Thanks, I'm trying for the least amount of lift as possible. Don't quote me on this but I think the CV assembly has a less chance of breaking with less angle.

    Lol true. How much lift are you running? And what size are those tires?

    Also are you running a diff drop?

    No diff drop. If I had to guess how much lift. It's probably about 1.75"

    Trying to get recommendations now. Most of the "popular" routes are closed on November. Alpine loop, closed. North rim of Grand Canyon, closed. Im open for suggestions, looking for off pavement exploring and primitive camping.

    Got my runner dirty today for the first time in months, you’ll be beyond happy with ADS. They still impress me every time I get the truck out

    Dang! Now I’m unsure 650 extended travel vs 600??? I have to say my medium load OME 90021’s seem a bit firm and they are 590lb rating

    Checked the pressure, tires were between 30-35. Aired down to 28, seemed to improve a little, but I’m planning to chalk test to see how much more I can go down.

    Thanks for that. Found my noise. Looks like my spindle is hitting the spring when it’s flexing. Already have small nicks in the springs. Should be able to correct that when I get it aligned.

    Hey man, does your sway bar rub at all? Did you put in a sway bar spacer?

    I removed my sway bar after having it on for a few months with the new suspension. It was not rubbing, but ADS put on sway bar spacers for me.

    How does it ride and respond on the road above 45mph without the sway bar??

    Hey you said you have almost no preload with the 650lbs springs. Really? With your shell and bumper?
