    Grats Man, Looking at the List of people who got ADS there are still quite a few before me so, i'm still "patiently" waiting for the Front coil-overs.

    Hey @tacochep, looks like you got the same fronts as me maybe even the rears, did they come with resi mounts? looking online, the kings seem to come with one just trying to make sure i have everything sourced for install and no missing pieces.

    They look sick and congrats on getting everything in, I got shipping as well and look to be here Wednesday so i'm trying to make sure I can install this weekend :woot:

    Fronts and rears should come with resi mounts.

    Cool Deal, Yeah the rears did but it looks like it came with self tapping Screws? I figured we should be able to use existing bolts somewhere but as i have not started install i didnt know. Anyone who got the ADS 2.5 rears with resi's have a pic of completed install?

    Yeah it's a drill into the frame procedure. I highly recommend pre-drilling for those screws because they like to break their heads off. Ask me how I know. Also take care when drilling through the frame on the drive side. Lots of scary stuff behind the frame rail.

    Dude you rock, thanks a lot. looks like the Side of the frame right, not top? and something I saw on a random you tube video, think about running a piece of black heat shrink around the hose clamp to keep scratches to minimum, but overall looks sick! :D

    I’m jealous.
    Granted I needed a custom length rear reservoir hose, I’m still waiting on shipping confirmation on mine; going on 3 months now.

    Quick question, will any old pre-load spanner wrench work or does it need to be ADS/ King Specific as one did not come with the front coil-overs? I checked with ADS and they are currently sold out :(, but if I can buy another manufacturer then ok.

    I wouldn't think all the shops that do lifts have every specific company's spanner wrench but I'm not sure maybe someone that does it regularly can chime in

    I used a 5/16" punch. All the spanners suck. But if you need to do any significant adjustment either take it to a shop to have them do it with their spring compressors or invest in a set yourself. I went in on
    $166 SPC Specialty Products 40260 Universal Spring Compressor
    this set with a couple buds and they work awesome. I even have used them with the coilover on the truck and the wheel on.
