    I just love how 75k is considered "high mileage"

    BTW, is that Moab?

    He ran them, and was happy with the setup on his Tacoma.

    But like me, he too sold it.

    But you were also happy with King and Fox, so why now an advocate for ADS?

    I had always wanted ADS but didn't care for their wait times.

    When I first got my Tacoma, I ordered Fox front and rear damn near instantly.

    Then a few months later, I ordered Kings. Figured I'd compare the two.

    Got a 4Runner, and said fuck it I'll put the Kings on it, and accidently sold the Tacoma.

    If ADS had a set right off the shelf available, I would've gone that route. Then again, my setups had gone through changes so I wouldn't have known how to order/valve the ADS coilovers.
