    Are they greased before being shipped or do I need to get a grease gun and take care of that

    Thought I’d share my specs after alignment today. Tires are 285/70/17 ridge grapplers. 6E46AFBB-A644-4342-BDFC-51B1FC20C5F5.jpg

    Just got a set of JBA HD UCAs. They should be installed when I get home in a couple weeks. I am very excited to pair these with an ADS suspension. I will let everyone know what I think of the HD version as there isn’t as much out there about them.

    My goal is to make my truck an off-road animal so when I get back to Washington state I can put it to work . I feel it is better to be safe and overbuild a little bit.

    Thanks man! ADS is a great quality product, no complaints. I've never run any of the other big names though so don't really have anything to compare to.

    I have had Fox and Icon, not really impressed with either for the money. For the new truck it was going to be Kings or ADS and I am think I like the corrosion resistance and look of ADS better. Also the progressive and digressive valving is appealing.

    They advertise both on the same shock? How does that make sense?
