    I am having a serious dilemma... I cannot decide for the life of me on which lift I should choose:

    1) Fox 2.0 Coilovers and rear shocks
    w/ Toytec add-a-leafs
    ~$1100

    or

    2) OME from toytec with add-a-leaf
    ~$750

    I just wish there was more info on the Fox 2.0 coilovers out there. Help me decide!

    Pretty sure anything from fox is serviceable/ rebuildable/ revalveable.

    OME would need to be replaced if anything were to go wrong with them down the road (blown shock, leaking, ETC)

    I went with the FOX 2.0 setup.
    Set them at 3"
    Also replaced the upper control arms.

    How does the fox kit ride at 3"?
    How much do you take it off road?

    I have offroaded it at MOAB, Mojave, Pismo, and the Mountains.
    When the truck is empty, ride is firm, not harsh.
    When it is loaded, ride is just right.
    I am a big guy, 6.4 225 lbs with a bad back.
    Ride needs to be smooth when driving long distances.
    No regrets with the 2.0 shocks.

    I think it was, look at the picks and ask yourself what kind of look are you going for. I am a fox fan and that is what I wanted. Going to upgrade my lower control arms to dirt kings now.

    PS: I have over 12000 miles on my shocks with no problems at all.

    i saw another member fit 285s no problem with the 2.0s set at 2". I'll probably do the same, and then crank them to 3" when i get the UCAs.
