    I bought it with my kit from @HeadStrong Off-Road and can't remember the price ($25-30ish maybe).

    I broke mine by not using WD-40 on the threads. They were generous and gave my a used replacement at no cost, because they were out of stock of new ones at the time.

    Again, great bunch of guys!! :thumbsup:

    Any of you replace the coil springs on yours? I need softer than 650 now a days, but I'm wondering how to remove the lower spring perch. King perches have a notch that makes it super easy. Do I need to unthread the lower rod end?

    I will be parting my truck out in the next month or so and wil be selling my ADS setup. Located in Southern California. If anyone local is interested, please feel free to PM me for pictures. I put less than 1,500 miles on the setup.

    Got my entire ADS suspension installed today. Need to level out the front with the rear, but it's all good so far. That said, check out the picture of the driverside piggyback. Seems a little close to the leafs, this normal?

    Looks like that's the only place it can go. I would think it's fine.

    I haven't taken my truck off road yet but around town, on the freeway, and bombing speed bumps at the mall is very smooth. Even with 700lb springs it's nice. I do have the clickers so I've been playing around with it. It's nice to be able to smooth it out on road and firm it up when I know I'll be hitting big stuff.

    I don't have my bumpstops on yet (not in my possession get), so no offroad fun yet. I have 650# springs and they road perfectly smooth. Alignment and 33" Duratracs tomorrow.

    Make sure to tighten the top bolt really tight. I went with OEM torque on mine and they rotated in and started making contact with the bolts on the leaf clamps, scarred them up pretty bad

    They're in there pretty good right now but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for letting me know it's not just me.

    23" front, a hair over 24" rear, level side to side.

    Gave up cranking on the fronts, was bending my cheap 5/16" punch. ADS spanner wrench is good to open beers and that's it. Also didn't have any lube to help spin the collar down because I've never needed it before ;)
