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

Damn.

 

Nothing yet

 

Also still waiting.

 

I placed my order with HS. Marie was very informative and helpful. The waiting game begins. And I have a big hole in my pocket

 

Messaged Mrs. Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road And she said their plating company is backlogged, but that she had sent an email to them with all of the pending orders to give a time frame or something of the sort. She said she expected to hear back from them today or tomorrow, and would let us know.

 

With @HeadStrong Off-Road being the vendor, even with the delay, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. It's nice of small outlet companies like ADS and Prinsu to go out of their way with their limited inventory and man-power to give us, the enthusiasts, better pricing. The trade-off is obviously the delays and wait times. Takes a lot of time for a small company to put together a good product in large volumes.

 

Amen. I can tell you the quality of these are absolutely top knotch.

 

Looks awesome. Whats your front spring rate?
The long wait is painful.

 

700lbs, bumper and winch are in the future. The stock springs sagged 1.5" just from sliders and mobtown skids.

 

How's the ride so far with 700 lbs spring? Plush?

 

Excellent, I ran up a pole path this morning that I wouldve had a mild concussion from with the stock shocks. Slightly stiff up front as of now.

 

I am gonna order ads front coilovers with 700ib springs and ads rear shocks. Any one using Dakar light leaf springs with ads

 

I hear Dakar has two different leafs now? Is the light version about the same as taking out the 3rd leaf?

 

Hope to get my ADS in the next few weeks. What should I coat them with so the North East salt will not kill them?

 

Blood, sweat and tears.

 

Those sound like the would cause rust...

 

My truck sat for most of the winter, and we get a ton of snow here.

Sprayed my coilovers down with Boeshield T9 and they look great. Also use it on uniballs and spherical bearings.

 

You can also spray your Dakar leafs to stop any of that squeaking too

 

I am not sure on that i am going with the light Dakar package instead of the heavy cause I don't tow alot of heavy things. I was just gonna get a aal but I rather not cause I haven't took my truck in to fix the recall problem with the leaf springs..
