    Who did you order your shocks through? Doing research on fitting ADS triple bypasses with the Archive Garage kit and your posts popped up with exactly what I want.

    Looking forward to seeing your setup when it's done!

    I ordered through headstrong, they had the best price per-config. I am going with the same Archive relocation as well. Hopefully getting it installed this month, so I'll post up pics when it's done.

    I’m looking at getting the ads with upper control arms and remote reservoir and Dakar medium duty springs. I have a 136 lb bumper, sliders, and plan on getting aluminum front skid and trans skid each weighing around 30lb. I am not sure whether to get 700lb springs or 650. Anyone have a similar setup that would have some advice?

    700lb, I run almost identical to what you are proposing. Allow up to 1000-2000miles for break-in depending on how you drive. Note the stock Offroad shocks are also a 700lb coil

    are you getting compression adjusters (resi clickers)?

    I'm fairly certain you'll want 700 lbs. I have similar weight up front.

    Boring 265/70/17... I think my next pair will be skinnies. However, I hate to go away from KO2's, as I've had good luck with them.

    Funny you say that, I just went from skinnies (255/75/17) to 265/70/17 and the new (265's) ones drive noticeably better.
    The skinnies had ALOT of bump steer (due to too much scrub). I personally think the 265/70/17 or 265/75/16 is the BEST size tire for these trucks.
    You will NOT notice a visual difference between the two in height (width, yes). Even thought the skinnies were 6lbs/tire lighter, due to the larger diameter it changed the RPMs and made the truck feel like it had less power.

    I would stay with what you got...just a very well tested recommendation from your Taco Compadre.

    265/70/17’s wheel extremely well for the average guy

    I've been mulling over the idea of re-gearing to 4.3's, but my warranty doesn't end for 60k more miles so likely not for awhile...sigh
