    Awesome, Thanks for all the help everyone. I guess the only other question I have to anyone who can answer is basically a ball park to start at with pre-load, i'm looking for a "safe" 2.5-2.75 lift. I know the more pre-load you add the less down travel you get, and I also know this changes based on all sorts of factors like, bumper/winch/ spring rates/ etc.

    What spring rate and spring length? I'm on 700# x 14" springs, and I don't recall exactly where I ended up but something like 1 3/8-1/2" driver and 1-1/8" passenger which put me at about 2.625" lift after settling. That's with a steel bumper, 10k# winch, sliders, and aluminum skid trilogy. My truck is definitely on the heavy side.

    Saw the HeadStrong post that they had tracking numbers, so started paying a bit more attention - then saw I had an email and got all excited. UPS came through today - kind of. Only got the rears, my coil overs are still pending. Will put them with the rest of the parts pending install (so far have gotten the bumper, bed, and winch installed. Eventually will get the UCA’s coilovers and rear res shocks on it.

    dang jealous some of you got your ADS shipment two weeks ago. Seems weird I haven't heard anything other than "they are supposed to ship by the end of Jan." Has anyone else NOT received their ADS?

    Sorry. #439 but was not Headstrong.

    Got my shocks on about a week ago. Somehow with the work done my skid plate “disappeared”. Neither my shop or the alignment place is taking responsibility-so patiently waiting an a new skid plate. Looking back at old pictures-looks like it was lost when the bumper and winch were installed

    @ramonortiz55 So how is the ride quality? Does it live up to the hype? Still haven't installed mine yet.... hopefully soon or I'll probably sell them since it hasn't been a big priority for me lately.
