    They are super beefy. We will find out. I will install next weekend, then get an alignment, and its my DD so on road review will come quickly. We are going to Morris Mountain at the End of October (Oct 27th for those interested in joining).

    This is the stage 3 kit from @HeadStrong Off-Road. http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/st...ota_Tacoma_with_OME_Dakar_Full_Leaf_Pack.html Came with everything except the ECGS bushing. She offers free shipping on these kits so it was $4085 for the kit +$60 for the ECGS bushing. Buy once, cry once.

    Edit: Extended travel, 700lb springs, HD Dakars, and SPC control arms.

    Identical to what I have, just need the shocks. I called ADS and he recommended the 700lb spring for any weight in the front over 100lbs + sliders

    I went 700lb because I plan to add a 27F AGM battery and eventually a front bumper or hidden winch. I am hoping to add rock sliders before our trip.

    Yah he said the truck sits better with that spring and since they are adjustable, after they break in a bit you can have the best of both worlds

    Post some picks next week of the installed setup. I assume you are going to set them at 2"?

    I am going to try to leave them where they are for now. It looks like 1 has slightly more preload than the other (I am guessing taco lean/driver side). I will take a picture and add it to this post.

    worth the wait!

    Many manufacturers in the US are dealing with a lack of materials. Its happening to metal fabs, wood shops, and many other manufacturing folks. Its probably happening here too.

    I'm a little confused on long lead times for orders. Are people waiting on custom configured shocks? I ordered my ADS Level 3 kit with accessories and got it within a week about a month ago.

    Mine are custom, I was told it would be even longer than the 6 week lead time. IDK, when a company makes a good product and they know it, they make their own demands. Feels kinda shitty on the customers end, but it's what it takes to get good equipment these days.

    Well its been about 5000 miles since my ADS install and I am still smiling ear to ear when I drive the truck... I have been guiding hunts in New Mexico for 2 months with almost all 5000 miles being dirt roads, forest service mountain roads, washboard infested sand washes and every other nasty road in between. I have been hunting these same roads for years and its amazing the difference in the truck now. At some points its almost scary as I find myself bombing washboard or nasty roads 55mph while sipping coffee just cause the truck is so smooth. Definitely no buyers remorse here and worth every penny. Thanks to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road for recommending ADS to me .
