ADS Off-Road Racing Shocks - Information, Pictures, & BS Thread

I hear you. I bought a bunch of stuff from wheelers before they got bought out, now they are terrible to deal with.

 

Can i replace the ball joint with the UCA itself installed on the truck?

 

Yup. It’s the same upper ball joint on 1973-1988 Chevy trucks any auto parts store should have them readily available.

 

Yep, don't even have to take the arm off for replace. It's just those 4 bolts on top, and the ball joint is easily sourceable since it's a GM joint.

 

Bought $2000 coils, didn't get a single one. Impressed with the product so i got a t-shirt, got maybe 20 stickers with it

 

Hey guys I found them, they were underneath the foam under the package flap. F’ing trying to hide from me.

 

I want a tshirt

 

my worries was the red contrast against the ADS setup, but it's not too bad

 

My bypasses are about 10 days out... I asked for some stickers to cover my Kings up front Lol.

I need a hat for my bald head though. Hopefully when they are ready to ship. My wife will have re authorized my allowance or maybe even a partial allowance and I’ll order a hat.

have them send the hat to my house though and not the shop. It would be my luck the sticky fingers would get it

 

I got my passenger side buttoned up today and finally got a chance to go drive around.

Holy mother these are amazing. On the full soft setting feels like my truck is just floating. On full firm it’s still a better ride than my previous Eibachs (which were still amazing).

@tacomarin

Driver HtF ended up at 23.125”. Middle of the lower shock mount to the top of the top hat is exactly 21”

passenger ended up at 23.375”. Middle of the lower shock mount to the top of the top hat is exactly 21-1/8”

pretty damn happy. Once I get my skids back on (another 140lbs) I have a feeling it will settle some. Then I’ll do a final adjustment before my alignment on Monday.

I posted a pic a page or two ago

 

Pshh, only pic I saw was of a balding tire.

 

post another one

 

not balding...BALD

It’s terrifying to drive when wet

35’s going on Monday after alignment.

 

We wanna see the stance. So much talk about this hub-to-fender shiz and I don't see no fender. CVs look fine if you ask me.

Dirty-fives huh, I see you're a man of culture. I'm probably going to step up to 295s after these falkens wear out.

 

It’s right about the same stance as it was before...all you get are shitty driveway pics.




These Max’s have 66k on them and about 10k of that is a shit alignment. They will be replaced by Milestar Patagonia’s.
