Awesome!! Going with same spring rate again? Assuming 700?

 

Yes for sure. That spring rate works for my heavy front end.

Im going to setup a sprinkler under the truck today to start the de-mudding process

 

Me neither. I'm not part of the cool overland crew anymore

 

Man, you are a big part of the crew!!! Next time Ben! I will say, that travelling with only 2 vehicles made us very agile and quick to move across large areas, so there is that at least

 

​

I still love ya bro

 

Same here, much love @pixelsailor !!

 

When does your stuff show up?

 

Still got like 4 weeks. was kinda bummed seeing eveybody getting theirs within days but they ran out of stock.

 

I had to wait a long ass time as well, but it was worth it. Do you have an appt to get them installed on the calendar yet? Chris can get booked months out sometimes

 

Most definitely will be worth the wait. Hell nah, I got no appointment scheduled yet. Might actually be a while before they go on. Got to save up for the install lmao af

 

Quick and agile is fun. Been thinking about a quick run out to big bend soon. Sitting at a desk is literally doing irreparable damage to my body. Need to do more little trips more often.

 

​

 

Are you going to have to go back to stock spindles?

 

I sure hope not lol

 

Dude, the 4 day trip may be a good middle ground but the trip out west is a killer... maybe east is closer?

 

Arent those similar to having a spacer type lift? Have you talked to ADS? If not, you should 100% call them today and find out. I chatted with @lilred95 about this recently and we both thought you may need the stock spindles, but were unsure if that was what you were going to do.

 

Hell nah. It's all good. Nothing is really going to change other than I used to have billies, but will now have ADS.

Why would I need stock spindles? I'm at 6.5" lift rn

 

ADS coilovers for 3rd gen were made to provide max 3" lift and i havent seen them on anything with more lift than that or on any truck with a spindle lift... thats why i ask.

could be limitations of 4wd's though, im really unsure lol

 

Going anywhere from the middle of texas is a killer
