    i'm not saying i would go with the OME version. like you said, not a fan of the placement anyways. that was more just for the sake of argument about the clicker design. i'm not saying ADS is less tested but OME is more easily recognizable which is why i used it for the comparison.

    Ah gotcha.

    The only other clicker I reall think is cool is the new fox one. The dual one. That is super bad ass. But also insanely pricey. But you'd basically have a dual bypass coil over.

    kings have one too just not as many clicks.

    I know the pair I saw and drove on the resi was huge for just some coil overs. Super thick. Was on Timmy's truck.

    Either way. Can't really go wrong with any choice. All are great choices.

    i don't think any of them would be a bad choice by any means. i think i just need to make some phone calls and get some questions answered.


    but before that happens...... i need to replace head gaskets still :eek:

    a picture is worth a thousand words right.

    this is the drivers side behind the wheel looking toward the front of the truck.

    yeah, it's just something that needs to be done.
    thanks. my build has been a little neglected so that probably didn't help
    i just need to find the time as well as pray i can get it done in a weekend. Shouldn't be too difficult but knowing me, i can make a 4 hour job turn into an entire weekend.

    I have a few questions.
    Are you happy with the treadwrights?
    Are the 2nd gen wheels different BS than the first gen TRD (The ones in my sig).
    What width spacers?
    Did you trim your fenders?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yea hopefully. The longer you wait the worse it gets. If antifreeze is in the block gonna wanna flush it and the radiator.

    2nd gen rims are 5.5" bs and 1st gen rims are 4.5" you have to run wheel spacers to run 2nd gen wheels

    i'm pretty happy with them over all. they have done well in all conditions. just and fyi though.... they are a little loud. they hum pretty good at highway speeds. they are also a bit heavy. not overly heavy but enough to notice.

    see blackdawgs comment for bs on wheels

    i'm running spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers

    i trimmed the lower portion of my fenders. not a crazy amount but i still rub a little at full compression and i rub the frame at full lock.
    yeah. it's #1 on the list at the moment. hopefully order parts in the next few days and try to knock it out next weekend with my dad

    Ok, so with a 1.25'' spacer his BS is effectively 4.25''.
    So if I ran a set of BORA .75'' spacers on my truck my front tires would still out .5'' further than Joey's.

    I don't mind a little loud, I have a radio for a reason :D

    Ok, thank you both for your questions, I'm hoping to get a spare 285/75/16 sometime soon (checked CL but I think a blemished treawright will work great to test fit and use as a spare) and start test fitting and cutting.
