I am curious where the pics of the installed SC are?
Poor old Herb. Good coach at Wake Forrest, not so much at ASU.

Never installed the supercharger.
Ya we'll see where it takes us...
If anyone wants to buy some slightly used Toytec coilovers with brand new bushings, PM me. 20k miles, $600.

Nope. I'm just gonna buy new. I just have to decide if I want compression adjusters. I'm leaning towards yes.

From what I have gathered is that they might make a bit of difference, but may not be worth it. This is what I've heard from JBerry813 on TW and that a properly tuned coilover will do so much more for you. I would love to test both out and really see, but a lot of guys like them a lot. What company would you go with (Fox, Icon ADS (do they have them?)?

I feel like they could be nice, especially in the terrain you are in. I pretty much only crawl so they probably wouldn't be as helpful to me. What spring rate are you planning on running?

I think I would dial them stiffer for fast paced stuff and then make them softer for crawling. I think 650 would be a good spring rate. I'm at 600 now. We'll see.

Hahahahahahahahaha I love jberry's response to your question. I personally know him so I can just see him saying that and walking away. I'm debating going with 650lb for mine as well just to reduce the preload.

Go 700 :biggrin2: I like mine but they may not be best if your doing a lot of face paced stuff. They did well for me but my experience has been limited to this one sandy trail section in moab, that didn't really have any big whoops or anything. Either way I'm excited to see the ADS coilovers. Your the first with them that I've seen.

I would if I had a plate front bumper and or a winch, but my Savage front bumper weighs just a tad over the stock bumper. haha

ADS products are fantastic. My buddy is building a ultra 4 buggy and that's all he will use. The ride and performance is amazing.

I'm gonna probably upgrade to compression adjusters on my coilovers. I assume a shock with a compression adjuster is similar to tuning a bypass, you want the basic shock tuned as perfect as you can with the valving so then when you play with the adjuster/bypass tubes then it makes a considerable difference. It's like the valving is the coarse tuning and the other stuff is fine tuning, you want the course tuning to ride as good as possible and then get it even more perfect with the fine tuning.
What size shocks did you get, 2.5s? Can't wait to see pics

2.5s. If I stay mid travel I will be adding bypasses along side these coilovers.

I'll be watching your build closely, but I'm still pretty sure I'll be linking the rear.

Which spring rate did you go with? I have my Icon 650's that I'd let go for cheap, if you're interested.
I have never heard of ADS... Their stuff seems very reasonably priced. My next suspension step will be getting some air bumps, so I am looking for viable options.
Cool stuff, Connor. Excited to see some results.

I went ahead and got 650lb coils. But thanks!
I have a feeling I'm gonna love these coilovers. I will post many reviews and if anyone ever wants to ride in my truck, you are more than welcome to it.
