    Was going to ask you to see if Matt could send an extra pair of brackets...

    I can't install them immediately because I think he also requests a custom 90* on the resi, but I need to move mine eventually.

    Anyway, if they haven't shipped yet, that'd be great.

    About $1500-1600 shipped, as I recall.

    Mine with two day shipping was 1615. They are 1450 and normal shipping for me would have been 49 bucks.

    Ah shit yeah they shipped already. I'm not even certain if I'm getting the brackets either. I just said I'd take anything at this point haha

    Care to elaborate on the decision to go ADS over Kings? Am getting ready to pull the trigger on suspension soon and was curious as to your reasoning. Was leaning Kings, but maybe that will change.

    you can upgrade the resis to clickers later. I'm finally getting my shocks rebuilt (~55-60k since original install) and I ordered the all the parts, oil, seals, etc from Matt so I can have my local guy rebuild + upgrade the shocks with clickers.

    Kings are great as well. ADS just does a few things extra that are nicer. They have a better coating for one so they resist wear and tear much better. Better seals too. I have them on Frankenstein and love them. My dad runs them as well and its a killer ride.

    So yeah. Just want them. I got the Kings originally used for a great deal. Like i said, I'll keep them for the little truck. They were good shocks. Can't go wrong with either Id say but I like the ADS stuff better.

    yeah I know thats probably what I'll end up doing at some point.

    No idea! haha just bought them. I think standard is 650 though.

    I seem to recall I paid less than $1000 for my kings brand new and shipped. Granted that they are their IFP design and it hasbeen a few years. I know things change but 1600 is a big pill to swallow.

    I had the same issue when I did my lower sphericals last Summer. The bolt isn't seized it's just bent... On the one side it was bad enough that I had to take the lower control arm off with the shock and cut the bolt... Get after it bud!

    I've seen the bolts get seized and the bearing just spins inside the race. You can try heat, but in the end, we had to pull the LCA with the shock attached. What worked best was drilling a little hole in the spacers, which broke the bond.
