    No idea yet. Fighting removing my driver side shock.

    Hoping good. 50lb per side spring rate increase and I need to crank them down a bit already. But if it's anything like my other ads shock..it'll ride awesome

    Not sure, I'm still learning. But I figure Toyota includes the "right" grease in the kit, so I'd prefer to use that... No idea really.

    Awesome, thanks for the tip (and the original video that got me to this point).

    Turns out that two of the four kits I got only had half the grease they were supposed to, so Gunny's looking into it for me, to either send more grease or perhaps replacement kits. At any rate, I'm sure he'll work it out. And, the good news is I have two kits that are right.

    Yeah, I was running 650s before the ADS but had adjusted them down. With the ADS, I think I need to lower them a bit since I think I can feel & hear my lack of downtravel on the trail. Was going to have you listen to it on the next trip.

    Concur. If the specs are so close, I'm just going to stock one and be done with it.

    Did you have front end damage and fabricated a radiator header? Looks like good work.

    My core support has been cracking all over from years of continued offroading. So I cut it out and built something that shouldn't crack.

    Why’d you trade the Kings for ADS? Thought you didn’t like the top cap design.

    Getting a loud clunk at top out? Limit straps would be the proper solution.
