    Yours looks fine IMO. I think ADS strategically places the stickers to face outwards.

    Hmm interesting. Looks like your hoses are actually shorter? Both brackets were the same so they could only face that direction.

    Yeah it was hard to keep the ADS sticker showing. The hose tension made it want to flip it all the way around.

    I did loosen the hose mount ever so slightly (like 1/8”) and then resigned after config. I’m not sure why they would make mine shorter. I ordered them in November

    Maybe they use a different length hose for clicker applications? Beats me haha.

    Possibly. Who knows.

    Good looking setup either way. What’s better is it will take a beatin’

    one has clickers with fittings vs the non clickers so the hose bend is different. Same on KINGs

    I tried using a punch but had issues aligning it. It's difficult to explain but after maybe two turns the adjustment holes end up in weird positions where I can't access them because my UCA gets in the way, or my frame mount. I need something with the curved tool, thinking of getting the ADS took but is there another coil's tool that might work better?

    Truth. That wrench is a bitch when you get past a point where it no longer fits during a turn

    I've also heard that lubrication (WD-40 works) is a must.

    I had the same problem. We bent two punches (cheap metal?) and finally ended up using a combination of the two. The punch would fit so we'd slip the wrench in, then the punch etc.

    Well rides great I have a two inch rake the installer forgot to adjust the coilovers. Any way they rode great going back tomorrow to get adjusted and take the sway bar off.

    Looks serious brada! :thumbsup:

    Im curious to know VERY much what the ride feels like in comparison after you adjust the front height. I’m tempted to go down to the default. I kinda like the rake, especially if I switch to and add a leaf later after the Dakars sag out.

    Also, I tucked the rear resi hose under the bed a little to protect it from rocks. Not sure it’s a good or bad idea. Thoughts?

    I don’t like the rake as much because I dont plan on towing anything just a rtt on some bed bars. I want to get it adjust to close to level as possible maybe stay a 1/2 in lower in the front
