GEN 2 New suspension from ADS (in progress)

Here are pics of the truck’s current stance and the rear shocks.

Here are photos of the front. The initial setup increased the height of the front by about 2.25 inches. This is adjustable, but I wanted to let them settle first.

Performance is good. I just had alignment done and replaced two of my tires. (Apparently BFGs are only meant to last 15k miles. Really disappointed with them. But this isn’t the first time). And it is a noticeable difference. The front end is solids the rear feels much more “alive” than it did. The increased height in front is huge as well. Changes the ride feel. The only downside is the noise from the bypasses in the rear, but that’s to be expected. On the freeway it drove like glass even with the alignment being off and the tires all screwed up. Now that that’s all fixed...it’s great. I’m taking it out to some trails this weekend to check it further but it’s fantastic thus far. I’m also super interested in the rebound system they’ve used. It’s supposed to be great.

Hey everyone! Reviving this thread a bit. We've been working with ADS for a pretty long while now selling their stuff and worked a bit with them on the ADS Raptor 3.0s.

ADS is huge in the Toyota world and their stuff is proven to be on par with King and Fox. We've had zero issues or complaints with ADS and the quality has been top notch and better than some others I've come across.

The biggest differences is the way they build their coilovers and shocks. Here is an article on what they do different;
https://arizonadesertshocks.com/3018-2/

Highlighting the differences;
Thicker bodies
Stronger shaft material
Thicker pistons
Competition spec internals (valves, rings, spacers, etc)
Double coating on everything for maximum corrosion and rust protection
Thicker reservoir tubing so nothing rubs through

We have been running the ADS stuff for a few thousand miles on our Raptor shop truck and the performance and ride is phenomenal. Something I definitely come to expect from ADS being their our number 1 seller in the Tacoma world.

Definitely the biggest downside is the soft springs inside the rear bypasses click constantly. Normal for race applications so the delay in engagement is as little as possible, but if you want something a bit quieter for daily driving, we can have heavier springs installed, but that eats some performance away.

We have some pictures to upload and get these parts uploaded to the site for ordering, but if you have any questions, please reach out!
