    Just picked up some 2.5 RR fox coilovers with the 2.0 piggyback rears and TC UCA's. Does anyone know the measurement on the threads of the coilovers for 2.5"-3" lift? Anyone know what they come setup as?

    You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.
    Every setup with coilover is a bit different. There are variables from truck to truck i.e. reg/acc/dbc, 4x4 or prerunner, armor or no armor... Take pre lift measurements up front and adjust until you have desired height.

    PS if I remember correctly most companies icon/fox/king ship them at 2 inches of lift unless otherwise ordered by the customer.

    Mine came set-up to provide me 2.5 inches of lift from ORW. I did have to fine tune them because of the Taco Lean. I dont remember how many threads that was exactly though.

    Sorry bro, havent had the chance to get the pics yet or i just keep forgetting to take them. I will try to do it today. The ride is great by the way. Better than the stock ride, thats for sure. Cant really compare it to anything other than stock though.

    Midtravel is anything more than stock..like extended travel OEM coilovers...long travel is usually an aftermarket LCA..spindle..and normally the wheel is farther out from the truck..obvious with that. :D

    Whoops, uploaded the same pic twice. Sorry! Anyway the left side has more lift then the right because of the notorious TACO LEAN! The truck sits pretty much level depending on how much gas is in the truck and people in it. I leveled it with a full tank and my dad in the driver seat when all said and done. It took me hours of ajustments and fine tuning before i got it right. (not hard, just time consuming) I am sitting about 2 higher than stock. The rears are just the shock type non-adjustable. I never took pictures of those, DAMN! sorry.

    Do you have any issues with a popping sound when inclined backing up with your coilovers turned that far up. Im sitting at 3 in in the front and seems me and neonlazer are having an issue that seems the same and all we have in common is the 2.5 fox coilovers.

    No tyler took care of that and there is no wearing, and its almost like a pop sound like a coil spring or something. I took it to the truck shop and they went through it and couldn't find anything wrong.
