I'm runnin a truggy on D44's with 36" IROKs; eventually will be one tons.
I'm havin a hard time finding reviews for the ballistic fab air shock. Is anyone runnin them and what do you think. I know Fox makes a good shock, but specs and everything about the Ballistic sounds like a good shock.
Shocks with the ballistic logo were only in production for a limited time.
The shocks made by ADS precision machining here in Tucson were only sold to friends of friends, they were a machine shop and didnt want to market products. They made Howe steering components and steering racks as their primary business.
Ballistic worked out a deal with ADS to market the ADS shocks with a ballistic logo. Later a competitor to Ballistic also went to ADS to market their shocks. This is when Ballistics was not going well, ADS started selling shocks under the Truxx label (two labels). As Events unfolded ADS Precision Machining dropped ballistic, then dropped truxx. ADS now only manufacturers shocks under their own logo ADS racing shocks. Ballistic has come back into agreement with ADS but all shocks say ADS on them.
Our last Tucson Event Promo we had Ballistic and ADS at the event.
I have 12 ADS shocks on my 4400 and had their coilovers on my old trail junk back in the friend of a friend days. Great quality shocks and they provide great support to their teams. ADS has been to CA, UT, CO and AZ to support us at races, they also have short course teams and sand car events they support.
I have four of the Ballistic branded ADS smooth body 2.25" shocks. Very nice shock and ADS support is great. I ordered replacement valve stacks and bleed screws based on having them watch video of the suspension. One time and it appears to be perfect.
I've been running their hybrid on my trail rig for a couple years now. Awesome shock. The ride is perfect. Id go for the hybrid for a trail rig. Easy to tune, and don't unload like a air shock.
