    More expensive to add them after, I found it cheaper to get a new set with adjusters than to add adjusters to my standard set

    Not a problem! Easiest to get on a dirt road and test out diff setting to see what it does. I'm super stoked you got a set and with clickers!!!

    Spent the day helping a fellow TW member install his Fox 2.5/2.0Resi set up with AAL today. Was pretty impressed with the potential of coilovers so I think ADS is definitely the setup I'm gonna go with.

    Will likely get the HS 3-leaf AAL in lieu of pack replacement depending on how his impression of the AAL's work out for him.

    I'm sure you can rally some TTC types to come watch you fuck up your knuckles. Or roll up to Chad's and do a tandem install.

    I second this. @Snaeper this is the ADS thread, so it is biased. You say you go offroad once a month, do you really see yourself adjusting the clickers? Are you ready for rebuilds and have plans for when the shocks are out getting rebuilt? Seems like a ton of dough to throw around for better offroad performance you won't take advantage of often. Sometimes I feel there are a ton of trucks on here who get performance shocks BeCaUsE tHeY aRe thE bEsT but aren't prepared for rebuilds every 30k, or take advantage of them more often. FWIW I've been wheeling the piss out of my truck since 2012 and I am only just making the jump to a performance shock this year.

    @cynicalrider Good counter points!

    I know I want to do suspension eventually because the basic SR shocks really leave a lot to be desired. There's the mindset of "I'll go offroad *more* if my suspension is up to the task" but that might not necessarily be the case.

    The regular rebuilds would be an issue as the Taco is currently my DD and only vehicle and on top of that, has special access for my current job that cannot be transferred to another vehicle. I am in AZ so I imagine rebuilds wouldn't be as much of a pain, but I cant afford to lose my truck, indeed.

    The ruggedness of the Bilsteins did have that going for them.

    Loosened the nut behind the wheel. ADS mid travel.
    Just got my extended travel coilovers with 650lb springs delivered yesterday.

    From what I understand:

    No matter how much droop, compression, or what the static height is set at with these, you don't need to lengthen the front brake lines?

    Is that correct?
