    I am pulling the trigger on either ADS extended travel with Resi and Clicker or the standard mid travel king. I am leaning toward SPC UCA's as well.

    I drive about 80-100 miles per day on the highway but im not easy on my trucks offroad either.

    I got in on the group buy for king and ads and simply cant decide which to go with.

    I am also grabbing an arb front bumper and have a Warn 10k winch waiting for it. So im guessing ill need 700 pound springs??

    I've spend days researching all of this but cant seem to find opinions from first gen guys.

    I will be getting the Allpro 3 inch expo setup for the rear as well.

    ADS hands down but I'm biased. Love my front ADS coilovers. And they are very helpful, give them a call Monday and they will get you hooked up with a set that will work out of the box.

    My vote is King, but I’m not biased... :D

    I have the extended travel kings, and they are outstanding. Even though this isn’t my daily driver, the ride on the road is great, too.

    I ran 5100s for many years and never felt like they were fading, so for me the extra expense of the resis was superfluous.

    I'd do 650 springs personally, 700 would be overkill even for a loaded 1st gen.

    AFAIK, ADS are only extended travel, as long as you are using aftermarket UCAs. Otherwise, they would be for long travel. Highway ride is superb and offroad is as well.
