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

Here is my front and rear setup after the refresh and some paint touch ups, works well for me, next rebuild I will go with longer springs... Thanks for the tips






Trimmed to about 4 inches but used the PTP to not get a new ding on the shaft during install.

 

I have bearing kits in stock to replace the squeaky worn out one's on your truck now.

You can use any of the COM, FKS, FKSSX bearing kits and spacers for your ADS shocks.

We also have upgraded lower bolts that are shanked and a constant diameter vs the stock bolts.

Very nice! I'll be ordering a set very soon!!

 

Any living in the rust belt running these, how are the body’s holding up to the salty winters and corrosive environments? Thanks in advance

 

Definitely highly recommend 303 shock services. I wasn’t planning on doing my spherical bearings until this winter but when I discovered how bad they were, I had to do something about them. Tim had everything in stock and overnighted what I needed to get everything put back together. 100% recommend the lower shock bolts he carries too. The straight shank just fits much better than the OEM tapered shank.

 

Swapped in some 12" rears w/piggybacks in place of the old 10" w/remote resis, now that I've got Chevy 63s and a bit more droop ability in the rear.

 

@TMFF are these also the same parts required for the rears? I ordered/replaced my front 2.5 remote resi ADS coilovers with your kit and it has worked out great. I noticed a clunk from the rear and found both the lower bearings completely shot (passenger worse of course). Need to get these replaced and can't determine if the kits fit. Thanks in advance.

 

I do not stock the rear ADS misalignment spacers but they are generally reusable so you can choose the level of bearings you want to replace the worn parts on your shocks.

Sounds good. I'll be ordering a set tonight then.

 

Bout to pull the trigger on a full ADS shock/ uca set. Putting this on a 2023 pro. I dont want to raise the height but by maybe 1/2" all the way around.
Wondering if I should use the slightly longer rear shock set to future proof. Wanna keep stock leafs (for now) and change rear oem block to a 1/2" taller one.
So may be selling my Fox kit/uca's with 8k on them here soon.

 

Any of you have any crunching noises under certain compression forces when offroading? Can't seem to isolate the noise.

My lower eyelet bearings probably are due for replacement but wouldn't that be more a clicking sound?

 

Do you have a promo code?

I tried that and it didn’t work. Said I used it already.

 

When mine have been bad it’s usually been a squeaking or a slight ‘pop’ at slow speed when the load changes

 

TW10 code is not working still.

 

Please don't turn this thread into a seller thread. , I have really enjoyed participating in this thread an hearing and seeing the experiences with these shocks.

Oops looks like it already is an ADS seller thread, My Bad....

 

Wanted to give an update - got the FKSS10T kit ordered and installed on my rear 2.5 clickers and everything fit like it should. Spacers were in good enough shape to reuse. Best part is my clunk in the rear went away! Another 40k+ miles (or more) and I'll be back to order more.

 

Ya'll see ADS' new IBP's?

They are awesome shocks but the shortest is 10" stroke and only in 3.0 bodies.
