    In the garage installing my coilovers right now. Wandering how many threads I have showing to achieve 2" lift on my 3rd gen. Right now I'm at 1" of thread. I've read before that 1 turn of the collar equals 1/8" of lift for some other manufacturers, not sure about ads though.

    Just got off the phone with Brian at ads. He advised to adjust by spring length. Told to adjust drivers side at 12" passenger at 12 1/4"

    Hey guys, new to this thread. I have been debating getting Icon stage 4 w/ dakers to achieve 3'' of lift. However, reading through the comments it seems like ADS is superior to Icon and I would be happier w/ ADS?? I see their coil over setup achieves less than 3'' of lift. Is there any way to get 3?? and what website is best for viewing/purchasing? Thanks

    I love the setup man! What ADS setup is that and how much lift did you get from it?

    I have my RRs mounted there as well but they are making contact with the tire on full lock. I'm talking to greenline to get fittings to relocate the RR more vertical and closer to the coilover.

    I haven't had issue yet... I have 3.5 BS and 255 skinny tires. What's your setup?

    Not sure about the specs but I have the TRD Pro rims and also the old Ivan Stewarts with 265/75R16 tires. Rub is worse if I'm backing out and hit a curb gutter. Not had it offroad yet.

    The hose hangs kind of loose if you mount the RR where we have it. If I were to pull the hose tight to the frame with a steel zip tie it would probably clear most times. I'd just like to get it relocated to be sure.

    Well it is hitting right at the connection between the hose and clicker. I don't think the resi is making contact.
