    Yep, just looked at pricing. Unfortunately Kings are usually discounted from MSRP on vendor's sites, plus there is a current group buy looking to get organized for King. So that 180 turns into about 480. After reading this thread I was very tempted to try ADS, but think I might have to stick with the King option for now since the GB seems like it'll be too good to pass up.

    On a side note, HeadStrong has the easiest vendor site to navigate. Nicely organized and fast. Takes me 3x the time to find stuff on other sites.

    Yeah kings are cheaper
    I actually like Wheelers Website better for navigating
    But Headstrong is 20 bucks cheaper

    So...I haven't posted a dumb question in a while so I think I'm due...

    If I want to raise the front of my truck to make it level (3/4" rake now), do I want more threads showing or less threads showing above the coils?

    I had to do this for mine as well, Brian at ADS and I carefully loosened the hose connection at the elbow without issue. I noticed you don't have clickers tho, double check with Brian 5208502004

    with the supplied sway bar brackets. but the placement of the sticker is off so the ADS faces down.

    I'm all over. I've been pricing set ups. How does the Boss 2.5 compare to these?
    How is the ride of the Ads? Thanks

    I'm looking at adding some smooth body piggy backs to the rear of the 1st gen w/ doing a shock relocation. Have a the dakar leaves with an extra load leaf in the pack. Has anyone ran this setup yet? If so what were your shock dimensions? Thought I take the lazy route 1st before you guys tell me to cycle my suspension lol.
