ADS shocks

anyone running ADS on a tundra? Feedback and photos please

 

Front coilovers or rear? 2.5 or 3.0..?

Lot of us running ADS 2.5 triple bypass in the rear and absolutely love them. The clacky sound is fun too!

 

Love them

 

Heard that color boot makes them faster

 

I'm not cool enough for bypasses, so I just have the regular old 2.5's. Definite improvement over stock and the toytec shocks I had before. I wish they were valved a little plusher/softer with the clickers fully open. Gave about 2.5" lift with the collar all the way up, so not really 0-4" like they advertise

 

Im not cool I’m a straight parking lot poser dude

 

ADS 3.0 Coilovers with adjustable reservoirs in the front
ADS 2.5 shocks with adjustable reservoirs and hydraulic bump stops in the rear

Love them! Best performing suspension components and made with the best materials.

 

Ehh did it to match my Fox coils in the front

 

how do they ride on the street? i an sure the off road is good, i just dont want a spacer lift and want to be able to offroad some. daily driver as well.

 

It’s good but it depends if you get the bypasses they click some people find that annoying.

 

like loud enough u can hear in the truck? I have had fox 2.0 before.

 

are these brand of shocks and or lifts out of stock as well, like everything else

 

Yes you can if your windows are down. It’s not that bad. I’ve had a guy yell in a parking lot “hey dude somethings loose back there lol “ if your windows are up you can’t hear them well with trd exhaust.

 

I'm working with Matt and MCM and will be going 3.0s and trips. Also, unless you're down to wait 40 weeks for Fox or Kings they are your only custom option currently.

 

Wow that’s crazy I got fox up front and within weeks rusted I’ll prob do 3.0 up front let me know what you think

 

are these in the same glass of performance and ride ect. I had never heard of them here in arkansas

 

Just do it!

 

These are definitely in the same class as the other premium shocks; they compete right up there with Fox and King.

 

Where do you live? If you're in a heavy salt zone everything will rust. Although Fox claims that zinc coating to be the best at rust mitigation... I've never found that to be true. I've lived within miles of the Atlantic and the Pacific - salt air is bad. I've lived in salted winter road territory as well - that is worse.

ADS 3.0s have 40% more dampening than the 2.5s. That matters. A lot. Plenty of people will say 3.0s are overkill. All in what you are asking the rig to do.

 

Running ADS 2.5 in front on my 1st gen. Love them!

 

I’m all about over kill 3 miles from the beach in cali but just like everyone else we are fleeing lol

 

I had 2.5's built for my pro comp 6 inch lift and love them. Big difference over the pro comp stuff. Went with ADS because they're rebuildable, and don't rust like FOX. I called them and told them how my truck was set up. They built suspension for the Pro Comp lift and installed bigger springs to accommodate the metal bumper and winch.

 

just an FYI... Damping, not Dampening

Thank you! It goes over so many peoples heads to the point it's now considered okay semantics. Dampening is to dampen something, or get it wet. Damping is to absorb energy! If your shocks are really good at making things wet they probably should be rebuilt or thrown out

 

My main addiction is mountain biking and folks on the MTB boards get it wrong all the time as well.
Dampening can kinda also be used as in the case of “lessening” something (dampen your spirits) but in this case DAMPING is technically more accurate.

 

Oh, and I have 2.5 ADS w bypass rears. LOVE THEM!!
Just keep an eye on the rears so they don’t rotate into your leaf springs and get ripped off. Performance wise, they are awesome though.

 

And if they twist the other way, the bypass tubes can hit the banjo bolt and all of your brake fluid can drain out on the trail.

 

seems like a better mounting solution would be devised

 

Oooo look at you!
