    The prices on the Fox 2.0 set is pretty attractive but the only actual lift height info I've seen so far is that it would give 2" in the front and 1" in the back.

    Can anyone running this setup confirm this? I was really looking for closer to a 3" lift.

    They give you 2" out of the box to level you out, and I'm pretty sure that they can be cranked to 3"

    The rear shocks don't give you any lift

    The 2.5's are about $300 more though, if he needs that extra inch then they are good. But I think the 2.0's you can crank up to 3" as well

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    Boogie, the shocks dont do shit, but you want to know if they will support over 2" and not destroy the shock. I looked into the same thing. You really need to look at max extended length and compressed lengths. If you exceed the max extended length then you would need limiting straps and you have to have enough lift to make sure you dont compress beyond the compressed length as well. I am sure some folks could provide best tips and practices for how to measure these limiting factors.

    You don't need limiting straps in the back (not sure if they even make them for the rear) but he just needs to choose the correct length shock for the amount of lift he is having. Every shock will say "good for ___ amount of lift". Limiting straps are only for LT trucks in the front, I believe its because they don't have the fender clearance for full LT.
