**CLOSED**ADS Group buy**

If you look at the picture I posted of mine they (I checked both of mine) are 180 degrees from where yours are at. Meaning, the fitting is on the "bottom" compared to where yours is at.

 

Well I had to clock it 180. Talked to ADS and they said it was wrong. I cracked the fitting one flat and worked it around. Also looks like the bracket was marked wrong. Had to switch the passenger with the driver.

 

Glad you got it worked out!

 

Almost done, I need to crank up the front about 2”. Any advice on doing this? Wheels off the ground, break the bolt lose and go to town? Do I need a spring compressor?

 

Looks nice! What we did was to loosen the lock screw and then inserted a 5/16" punch into one of the holes. Then it's a matter of cranking it using the position of the screw as a marker for 1 compete turn.

It was pretty difficult to move, so we put a 12" metal rod on the end of the lunch for leverage and then it was not bad at all. That and lubrication.

 

Wheels off the ground, full droop. Loosen lock screw slowly. Used a 12" long 5/16th drift punch, as leverage is needed, WD40 and some muscle. Be careful not to let it slip or you will cause some damage to the collar.

 

I have the 650 springs and no added weight up front. I did remove the sway bar. Question is do you know how much lift for each turn?
Thanks in advance.

 

No idea about lift per turn but I'm at 1 and 1/8th" preload on drivers side. 1" passenger and I'm sitting 39" from the ground dead nuts both sides. I have about .5" of rake which is perfect.

 

Oh and psa: I have the 700lbs springs and adjusted them on truck with the wheels off.

 

Any chance of another ads group buy coming up?

 

not anytime soon

Call Marie at Headstrong, she'll get you hooked up.

 

Yeah it would be nice to see another one of these go on. I think its been a decent amount of time since the last.

There is that post. Not mine but thought I’d share since it’s rare to see

 

When are we looking to have another group buy?

 

not anytime soon, sorry.

 

@ramonortiz55 that answer came in too fast. Are you sure you don’t need time to think about it at all?

 

Last time we did this group buy, the vendor and ADS both said they weren't going to do another one.

 

Fair enough
