    Anyone here running 12” smooth body ADS and a BAMF relocation? Of you do, can you take some pics of the lower shock mounts and the position you have them in?

    thanks!

    I have a 15’ sport. Only added weight up from is an aluminum skid plate. See a lot of people opting for 700 lb spring. Trying to decide 650 or 700

    Edit: think I’ve answered my own question

    No need for 700, 650 is a better option. Call ADS as well and get their input. 600 might even be in play

    I have a 2011 no extra weight and wish i had gone 600lb coil. Wasnt bad at ads factory setting, but a couple turns of the collar and ride not nearly as plush as it was. Front lift is only at 2.25’’, and has plenty of down travel, yet hit a speed hump at speed or anything similar and the shock will top out fairly hard ( full ext)

    Think I’m leaning more towards 650 still, may add some more weight up front eventually

    Check My Sig.
    14"x600#. I run 650#s on my truck with steel IFS, sliders, and steel hybrid bumper. You will be happier with the ride quality and can increase spring rate once you add weight.

    If you were a 3rd gen I'd say 650 but you're not.

    Are bump stops adjustable?

    I'm picking up a set of EXT coilovers and EXT rear shocks with Icon leaf pack for my 2015 Tacoma.

    I will only lift the truck 2 inches front and rear.

    ----

    I know I will probably need bump stops to prevent my rear extended shocks from topping off. On my 3rd gen 4runner I had to get custom bump stops for my rear shocks. I presume the Tacoma would be something similar - but how do I know what bump stops I need? Are they adjustable to various collapsed/extended shock lengths?

    did the mounting bracket come with those bump stops? All I see on MCM's website are the bump stops by themselves.
