    I’d double check they gave you the right brackets

    Pun intended?

    Well, I made the choice to send them back to ADS to be retrofit. They are going to out in a 700lb spring as well as a preemptive fix for bumper/winch addition.

    Wonder if the new mount takes care of the hose fitting that attaches to the resivior. People were saying they had to loosen it and rotate to make it not rub. Anyone with the new mount can you comment on this ?

    I did not make adjustments to the hose with mine. Not sure if there is a difference between adjusters and no adjusters.

    One thing to note with the bracket, if you are removing the sway bar you still need to install the relocation block the move the resi mount down and forward

    The bracket should go against the frame, there should be no need to use the relocation bracket if not using the sway bar, if there was some clearance issues please let me know so I can address it.

    The Tacoma shocks were updated to use the same brackets as the 4 runner, so there is a new hose configuration.

    There was a clearance issue with my install. Bracket would not sit flush and absolutely needed the sway bar relocation bracket. Both sides

    I’ll do my best. It’s been a month since I installed and I didn’t taken pictures at the time. I figured it was designed to work with the relocation bracket.

    If I remember correctly, the resi mount was too tall and basically interfered at the top of the wheel well. Didn’t allow the bolts to fully seat in the frame. If I get time tonight I’ll go monkey around with it and take a few pics

    Before we make too much of it I’m curious how it goes for @ready6delta when he installs

    I checked out a set yesterday and they have the same brackets as those in the picture. I also ordered mine(should be here tuesday) with 700lb coils

    What is everyone doing for initial setup?

    Glad to see the changes! A mid-travel setup seems to be as far as one can go while keeping a true bolt-on, minimal maintenance, and minimal problem IFS setup. Seems ADS realizes this and is making their product work as such so props to them and whomever is relaying info or reading through here!:hattip:
