    I see. Steering at speed above 50mph definitely felt a little weird to me

    It just takes time getting use to it. But if you’re not comfortable then don’t do it.

    That looks like the coil hits the hose. I have it outward and the tire doesn't hit.

    I can fit my pinky finger tip between the hose and the coil

    No signs of rubbing yet, just my sway bar link bolts rubbing the shock cup, but I cut those.

    Do what I can with caveman tools

    Those are old photos. They’re a tad bit more dirty right now


    They have definitely broken in to deliver an amazing ride.

    When i took mine off i really didn't notice a difference i still corner the same and drive like a nut. Granted I did feel a difference when my clickers were set to 0 so i cranked them up and i really cannot tell the difference.

    Your hose looks a little shorter than mine. At a full left turn my front tire will just barely rub the hose, so I need to re-clock the fitting on the reservoir a little bit.

    Is there a trick to mounting the resis with clickers? The hoses on mine don't seem to want to bend the way they need to. Almost like the fitting is on the wrong side of the resi or something like that

    You have to loosen the 90* fitting on the reservoir and twist it in order to make the hose set the way you want it to.

    You can see the 90* fitting that attaches directly to the reservoir in this picture.

    My fitting were really tight and I was told by ADS that is because of the blue thread locker they use. Using the reservoir and a large wrench for leverage i finally broke it free. The passenger side I had to turn it very little to get it where i wanted. the drivers side was a different story. It WILL NOT leak unless you hit a certain point which i did but quickly tightened it. If i were to do it again i would use a set of lock pliers to keep locked on the fitting at all times and as you are turning the fitting continue to tighten it with each rotation, because for me rotating it is what loosened it even more, that way even if it does get so loose that it does start to leak you can very quickly tighten the fitting.

    You can turn the angle of the fitting with the nut connected to the reservoir and you can also rotate the hose with the fitting that connects the hose to the 90*

    Given up for today, i guess i'll sleep on it and try again tomorrow. Mine seem to be wayyyyy off and i can adjust the fitting okay but adjusting the hose without losing oil is challenging. Especially not easy once the shock oil got on the wrenches a bit lol
