Fox 2.5’s with remote resivoirs final decision help

Yeah no. I think I was at $2700 for full fox resi w/dsc and dakar pack. Way better than my buddies pro.

 

$2,784.99 to be exact. Plus another $450 or so for UCA and you'll be set for life or until you go crazy and want LT or SUA with a longer rear , or you go kings. Haha

 

Seconded.

 

No. Don’t really feel I need the extended travel

 

I’ve yet to hear one negative thing about the fox 2.5’s. So I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m going with. Maybe won’t get the rr for the front but it’s only a $200 difference.. we’ll see. But once again thanks guys for the help on a decision. Will also be getting a 3 leaf aal.

 

There's nothing bad about them because ya get what ya pay for! Lol be sure to post pics before and after install!

 

If it was me, I’d do the 2.5 fronts extended travel non reservoir with LR Uca, rear 2.0’s with reservoir , and a 3 leaf add a leaf. If you go above 2”, you will likely need ucas anyway. Plus you’d get a little extra travel.

 

Running an AAL or full pack in the back? I want those 4 shocks. Just need to know I need for the rear leaf's

 

As of now I am looking to get a progressive 3 leaf pack from either Icon or Headstrong. I will get a full leaf pack when I start adding some heavier weight to the back like a bumper, and all of my gear. From the posting I had prior the previous guy had the 3 leaf pack from headstrong and it served him well.

 

I’m the guy selling the fox setup that Rogue mentioned; definitely not due to me not liking it. The setup is great just can use the money elsewhere. They are still for sale but not posted up here due to them being on the truck still, coming off this weekend.

I would go with UCAs and E/T, if you go up around 2” of lift you’ll want the UCAs anyways for alignment or else you could have wandering and other issues. Might as well buy once cry once.
Also I recommend a 3 leaf AAL with the overload in. Helps if you haul ever and doesn’t make the rear all that stiff, especially with a nice setup like the fox in the rear. Could help you hold off on buying a new leaf pack and helps keep stock leafs from sagging I’m sure

 

I was wondering where your post went! @mhshark! Are you going to the mod day this weekend in Sac?

 

If my suspension comes in I for sure will! Would love to lend a hand on some builds and also get some help too! Teamwork makes the dream work!

 

I have the headstrong progressive AAL and love it. I left my Overload in and it gave me just under 2inches of lift. I didn't feel like the the ride was changed much over stock (all added the 5160's to the rear at the same time)

 

This is exactly what I was planning to do! I was going to leave the overload in.

 

If I had to say anything negative about the 2.5's it's that I couldn't get the adjustment collar to spin. I read everything I could on here about adjustment. I had it on jackstands suspension drooping. I sprayed down with kroil oil and couldn't get em to budge. I tried a punch with a cheater pipe and bent the punch I didn't get the fox spanner because most people on here said it was useless because the reservoir gets in the way

 

Prepare to really crank up the front coilovers with the overload left in. You'll need to if you want it level.

 

Cut half of the tab off on your spanner. Makes adjusting easy - let’s you get to the back side and eliminates the reservoir interference.

 

Not sure about the 5100s running pretty similar to the stock OR suspension. 5100s run so much stiffer on the road compared to the OR suspension. OR suspension rides like a Cadillac on the road. 5100s also ride so much better on the trials after they've warmed up a bit.

 

For what it's worth, my leaf pack is still new and stuff, and I can already tell the difference with the compression adjuster in the rear when hauling different payloads and towing.

If going with the base 2.5s up front, I'd still consider the RR with compression adjusters in the rear. Was surprised with difference to be honest.

 

Not trying to jack the thread but how much of a lift can you get out of these. I'm looking at getting the Stage 1 and looking for a little for 2 inches.
