ADS Off-Road Racing Shocks - Information, Pictures, & BS Thread

Check the lower sway bar link bolts, too. Mine were gouging the springs. You should be able to feel the lower part of the coils in that area with your hands or crank your wheel to the right / left to get a visual. I yanked the sway bar out. Rides fine with 700#-ers

 

yeah your up travel is not causing this, it just needs some adjusting of the bracket. You should have full range of travel without rubbing.

also, with your front end weight, heavier coils are certainly indicated!

 

Sag sucks dudes. I will have to contact headstrong see about getting some 700lbs at the time I ordered my ass ads fronts they were sold out

 

still looks awesome. check accutune. they’re just eibach coils, maybe they have some available.....

 

Who would you recommend for a shop locally that could do the coil swap for me?

 

Auburn Off-road. I would have said Mule, but their pricing has become unreasonable.

 

Just checked, also out of stock.

 

Dang it!

 

I'll see about calling them and see how much they'll charge me ideally I'd like to do it myself but I honestly don't trust myself with the spring compressor from AutoZone

 

I will reach out to @headstrongoffroad and see what they have. I know they are super slammed and I usually get emailed back from them around 10ish om

 

Headstrongoffroad is lame

 

Might as well raise the rear while you're at it if you gonna get heavier coils. You be squattin'

 

I am, got these OME heavy leafy bois going in this weekend,

 

why do you think so?

 

The 1st photo of yours shows the spring model #. 14" long. The last number will be 0650S for 650# or 0700S for 700#. Should be easy to find somewhere on the internet.

 

I will see who has them. I kinda had a feeling I should have just waited for the 700s to be in stock but who the F knows when that would ever be. its kinda wild how this "pandemic" has caused people to do more off road shit, buy more shit causing businesses to get slammed. But good, good for the 4x4 community

 

Take them to a shop that has a wall mounted spring compressor. Don't use the Autozone ones. Scary

 

I will check out auburn offroad. I do have my 5100s still I can throw in and drive around on until they get finished. stiff bastards there

 

@vorkuta775 Google Eibach 1400.300.0650S or 1400.300.0700S and you'll get some hits. The 1st number is length in inches, the second is inside diameter in inches and the last is spring rate. They are common. Good luck

ADS (or maybe Headstrong, I don't remember) sort of recommended the 700# spring rate for my set-up which is roughly 200 lbs. of added front weight (bumper, winch, TRD skid). I feel it was the right decision as long as I keep the ride height no more than 2" above stock (23" hub to fender).

This is my shit sitting pretty level. I need to address the rear height. It's roughly 1" above stock with a 3 leaf aal. 285/70/17.

On road ride is pretty good with load range E tires. Off road at hard hits and dips is sublime.
