    Well thats what i thought. Just have read of a few peeps thinking the 650’s were stiff with minimal preload got me second guessing. I will find out soon enough though.

    I did about 3 more turns passenger and 7 more turns driver.

    Went up around 1" more from original preload height (1.25").

    Perfect. I’m looking to upgrade from 265/75 r16 to 255/75 r17. Have the wheels, just need the rubber

    Did you happen to weigh them or know the weight per wheel? Where exactly was it rubbing and how much lift on the front?

    I plan on only running 265 70 17 and approx. 2” lift. Trying to avoid cmc.

    By the way trk is looking sharp

    Thanks for the heads up. I will contact them to verify thats the correct weight. I have found on several occassions info they have listed to be not very accurate. If thats right 24 lbs is not bad at all.

    You should be fine, those tires are barely bigger than stock

    ADS suspension is in. Here is everything I did this past weekend.

    Miles ~21,400

    Changed both front and rear diff gear oils, used Lucas 85W-140 per ECGS, sending oil sample to Blackstone for analysis
    ECGS Bushing
    Front ADS 2.5" Coilover with RR and Clickers
    LR SPC UCA, ball joint grease with STA-Lube
    $9 Sta-Lube CRC SL3330 Moly-Graph Extreme Pressure Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease - 14 Oz.
    SL3330
    Rear ADS 2.5" Shocks with RR and Clickers
    HD Dakar Leaf spring with energy suspension polyurethane bushings
    Steel braided extended brake lines, bled with Mobil 1 DOT-3

    It was a hell of a job for the driveway. A friend of mine came down and helped me knock most of it out Saturday. I ended up not doing enough research and messed up one of my shackle bushings due to the metal collars they put in them at the factory. I eventually figured it out, used a jig saw to cut the collars out, ordered new shackle bushings, and completed the install today. Overall pretty straight forward install. My driverside preload is ~1" and my passenger side is ~7/8" and I have achieved ~2" of front end lift. The rear of the truck is over 3" lift, I dont have my camp weight in there yet, also waiting for my GFC to be installed in November. I am hoping itll settle down some and I may add some weight to help until I get my GFC. I left the sway bar off as well, we will see how it goes. Did a quick test drive and it feels good so far.

    Looks great man! I’m going to pick up my fronts tonight.

    Just an FYI if you haven’t already planned on it you are going to want to get some different bump stops in there to account for the new travel of the shocks and leaf pack.
