    Been looking for a shock upgrade. Looks like I need to add ADS to the list of potential shocks. Thanks!

    Cool, I'll give it a shot. I figured the rears are set up appropriately, in case you do have stuff in the bed. Rather than being empty and feeling right, then loadin' up and being sacked out... So running empty, it would make sense to be a bit stiff feeling.
    I do haul the occasional dirt bike, quad, or mtn. bikes. Now that I think about it, I would rather be a bit stiff empty, then good with stuff in the back.

    Nice setup. I have ADS coilovers on the brain for a summer project but I'm not sure yet what to do with the rear. All-Pro makes a lower shock mount so maybe I can get the ADS shocks to fit in the rear too. I just hate losing my spare tire.

    Thanks! My 2.5 rears fit just fine in the stock location. They were like an inch or two longer than the stock bilstiens. I had to use a highlift to lift the back enough to get them in. They are too beefy to compress by hand while under the truck. ADS stuff is definitely bad A. I wanted to try them after seeing them on a few guys trucks on here, and not everyone has them. I had never heard of them until TW, but I'm not that big into the offroad world. Plus all the research I could find on ADS was all super positive. I definitely did some research before I pulled the trigger. This is my first set of legit, proper shocks I've ever had on a rig.

    I need them so bad. I hit a washboard patch the other night and I had to fight to keep my rear end from passing me on the left.
