Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

Did the front on my 2018 last night, I still need to put on the progressive leaf pack, I left the height set to whatever fox has them set too, may need to raise it once the the wheels and 285s go on. The front end seem a bit higher then level at the moment. I’m hoping to avoid doing a CMC for a little while longer. I have -20mm 3.75bs konig counteersteer X 16x8 that are inbound from FNwheels and 285/75/16 duratracs to wrap them in.

 

Y’all cranking them up a bunch to clear a 285/75/16?

 

Sounds good, didn’t want to do a CMC but oh well. I’d like to not crank them up at all, I guess my offset with the wheel will dictate what I need to cut too

 

2000 miles on the truck NBD lol . Not to worried about it.

 

Will those fit a 4 inch BDS Lift Kit ?

 

To my knowledge, no. They are the same length as the OEM coil + 6" spacer combo.

 

Thinking of running Fox coilovers with no resis in the front. Also thinking of running them with the 650# springs. Anyone running these?? I don't have any armor, sliders or bumper, but may eventually go with sliders and armor. Would these be too stiff if I have no additional weight on my truck? Will it help with getting more lift with less preload?? I've been back and forth so much lately on which setup to go with its getting frustrating ha. Thanks in advance..

 

Preload is your friend as long as the springs don't go solid.

600 lb/in springs are fine with a standard bumper and winch combo.

If you go full armor and RTT then you may get into 700 lb/in territory.

 

They aren't for me. The only way I could get the Fox advertised lift of 3" w/the ext. travel C/O's, pre-loaded to Fox's max recommendation (1.925" from bottom of top plate to top of adjusting collar/ 27 exposed threads) is with no front bumper installed.
With my front ebay bumper installed (light enough I could install myself) & a Shittyblt 9.5K winch w/syn. line the most lift I could get was ~2". I have them cranked slightly more than Fox's max. rec. & I'm at 2.25", but I lost .5" down travel/droop.
I'll be adding my sliders this weekend which will probably drop it a little more. Then when I add my 31M battery I'm sure it'll drop it even more & I'm figuring I'll be at about 1.75" lift.
I bought 14" 650lb springs in hope to get the nose back up a bit. 3" would be awesome but 2.5" may be all I can squeeze out of it w/out losing my down travel/droop, which needs to be 3"+.

 

I am planning on doing the same but I’m having trouble finding a store online who will replace the springs for 14” 650# without charging a shit ton more for them. If you do let me know.

 

Well these showed up yesterday 3 weeks early. I’ll try to get them on today if I have time. I wish I would have gone with 650 springs up front since I’ll be adding the honey badger bumper

 

Headstrong said it would be approximately $250 for the upgraded coils and the labor to swap them out. This is the only place I've inquired about this to, so I don't know what sort of price others are quoting.

 

Try Accutune Offroad @*TRD*.

 

Ryan knows his shizzz. Not that Marie doesn’t.

 

Look real nice bro.. if you don’t mind me asking, where and how much?

650 springs are the way to go..

Has your front settled yet?

 

A bit over 1300 through vivid racing since i chose two day shipping. And the fronts seem fine

 

Thanks, really looking at 2.5 over 2.0.. I dunno if it’s worth the extra money if I’m not planning on doing some hardcore stuff

 

I wanted the matching set and I figured if I went with 2.0 now that I would want 2.5 later so might as well get it now.

 

I feel the same way.

I will just save for a little bit longer. Still rolling with those pro Comp basic shocks in the rear from the old lift that was on the truck.
