    2019 f250 6”lift 37s deleted 1997 T4r, tons and 4ds
    1997 t4r has super duty axles, 5.13s locked front and rear. 3 link front with 14" kings. Rear 63s.
    My one and only experience with them was terrible. Owner questioned the install but in the end he built the shocks to short and they were topping out in the front. So at a 2” of lift they were maxed out basically on a 2nd gen. Customer set them back and he fixed it. Mean time he ordered king and hasn’t had any issues

    Oof, when was this? Id bet around 2022? When they were moving from Colorado to Oklahoma? They had a few issues... any issue(s) is too many. Especially a short shock. But that is far from unique to Carbon.

    As everyone knows, Im a huge fan of ADS, and my buddy is going through that same deal with them. It has taken a while, but I think they are going to finally get the correct shock sent. They would not refund him. Ive had problems with King sent too short of springs with wrong t bar, a set of leaking shocks, ADS that failed in under 100 miles of street driving needing new shafts, a new shock body, main caps etc... fox that had emptied the entire shock oil in transit... multimatics that peed oil in the driveway... heck even Carbon took a minute to send me an order. No one is with out fault. (I go through a lot of shocks on my personal vehicles and my friends vehicles)

    Anyways, everyone has issues,
