    My bad. I thought they had adjustable dampening, but they don't. Didn't mean to confuse you into thinking I meant adjust height

    The FOX PRO C/O are very good is you want to drive off road and are progressive in power/rebound. I drive slow and on pavement only and for me I am looking at 2 things.
    - lift the front/back to 2 - 2.5" (keep the rake)
    - stiff shocks for rigid feel. I hate the cornering lean at 45mph and front dip under braking.

    Already have bought the ICONs front and back and billed Camburg UCA. Back is OK not complaining but I want it higher. If I pinch the tail pipe, would it make the back to jump up?
    I know the principle of springs and shocks, initial question was if I leave the factory setup in ICON C/O 700# at about 1/4" (7mm) thread showing, what height will the truck be? Trying to cheat and set it before the install, too lazy to adjust on the truck.

    Well, they only advertise 2.75" lift max. So, you will be close to the 1.13" exposed thread at the top for the 700# springs according to the installation instructions to get 2.5".

    They can tell you a rough figure of where they are set from factory if you call and ask. Not sure what the 3rd gens are for sure? I would say since they are 0-2.75" of lift, they are set somewhere around a 1 1/4-1/2" range.

    Is it safe to say the only reason you got a Pro is for the Cement Gray? Otherwise, you spent a lot of money for the Pro and you are taking off the main reason it cost so much more. Good thing is, you should be able to get rid of the Fox stuff pretty quick of you price it right.

    Going to be still as fuck with 700lbs and not weight up front haha. Rattle you teeth all day. Just put them on and adjust them it's take 15 minutes. Why even buy a pro and lift it more to drive the street anyways. Block and spacer would of done you the same and save du hella money .

    All bought before the PRO. Was intended for the OR but things changed and now I need to use them, like to be lifted.
    Bought PRO for all the reasons. I like to blast loud music while driving in circles at the local mall and catcalling big mamas coming out of the local Walmart...:). If they take the bait and hop in the truck, the taco lean is fixed. Also the 700# will help. Need a tarp over the bed to cover up the shovel, ducktape, rope, bucket, saw, garbage bags and chloroform.
