  • Toyota Tacoma, Tundra and Land Cruiser
  • Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler

  • Chevrolet Silverado HD
  • GMC Sierra HD
  • Ram 2500

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Direct replacement fit for faster, easier installation
  • Made in the U.S.A. using American components at ADS’s Tucson, Arizona facility

  • 2.5” shock body provides increased damping control and reduced fade
  • Rebuildable and tunable design for longer lifespan and cost savings

Customer-Inspired Design

ADS has built a 25-year track record of consistent and reliable performance in off-road motor sports, while keeping the voice of the customer at the heart of product innovation. The retail space within its Tucson, Arizona development facility allows product engineers to get direct feedback from customers, insight that was instrumental in shaping the Mesa 2.5 Series shocks.

We were very thoughtful and intentional in the design of the Mesa 2.5 Series,” said Osvaldo Gallegos, Vice President, Modern Truck & Off-Road Division, Holley Performance Brands. “We combined customer feedback and our decades of expertise to create a custom-tailored, race-quality shock that’s ready to install and go. It’s built for performance, priced for reality and made to last.”

Driven by strong market demand, the Mesa 2.5 Series is slated for continued expansion across an increasingly diverse range of truck, off-road and UTV platforms—broadening access to ADS’s race-proven performance and engineering.
