    The ADS bump kit runs about 835 for the complete set up. Bolt on brackets with cans, bumpstops, and strike pads. As Ryan said you will need to remove the rivets for the factory bump stop pad. Its pretty straight forward and a great addition if your budget allows. Give us a shout if you have any other questions.

    I'm changing my 700's out for softer rate springs this weekend. I don't think my truck needs the 700's. My previous Icons with 650's held the truck up fine. Part of the reason is because my battery is relocated to the bed.

    No, its only for the rear. I have done them on the front, but it requires cutting off the factory bumpstop mount and welding on new plate work with the bump cans, its not a very straight forward project like the rear is.

    $835 for just the rear!!!! How is it that they are damn near the same price as a set of rear piggyback shocks! I guess I am going rubber bumps haha.

    Because it includes fabricated brackets, hydro bumps, bump strike pad, and all the necessary hardware.

    Hey all. Considering these or king 2.5s. Anyone go one way or the other and regret it? These sound like the bees knees.

    Local shop is recommending King 2.5s without adjusters and fab tech uca's.

    @M C M I am running the bypasses and U402's. I am going to add the rear bumps soon. Do you recommend making any adjustments to the bypasses, or should I leave them how ADS set them? They are great with my roof top tent and bed rack. Really makes me want to add bypasses up front to match the feel of the rear.

    So far, about 3-4K miles and a couple of runs and a longer trip and I'm super impressed by the quality of the ride. At high speeds, they absorb so much of ride it makes it very smooth. I've had it up to about 70 on forest service roads in the mountains of NM and it was no sweat at all.

    The adjustability had helped as I run various types of terrain at various speeds and with different loads in the back, and so it has been wonderful to be able to adjust the dampening for the conditions at hand.

    You really can't go wrong with any of the top manufactures. I'm real happy with the expense :)

    On the road, I have been running with the dampening at 25-50% and it's real smooth. The small variations in the road are totally absorbed. if I'm not carrying anything, I'll turn the dampening to 0 and it gives a super plush ride... although if you hit any bump, it transfers to the body (since 0 dampening).

    I'm super impressed so far. I should be heading to a wheeling trip in NM over Labor Day and should be able to see how it handles on more varying terrain.

    Daniel @1truckdriver you may want to consider ADS in the future.
