Need advice fox 2.5

I would search for the specs on compressed and extended lengths on the correct coilovers for your truck and take measurements on what the coilovers you have and see if they match up. They look much too short.
My guess is he possibly sold you the wrong coilovers.?

 

Agreed on
That . So just new springs then?

 

600lbs are borderline for a stock truck. You have way too much preload because your too heavy for 600lb springs. Your running the risk of running those coils solid. Weight changes everything.

 

Ok that makes sense to me. Although dude 2 posts up or so
Says it’s completely wrong coilover. Don’t wanna step on any toes just wanna get my truck setup correct.

 

I don’t think they are the wrong coilover, just wrong spring for your weight. But look for a serial number and call fox if your worried, they can verify what you have.

 

Ok. Again. Really appreciate the help. I can’t say that enough.

 

I would verify you have the right coilovers before you have a shop swap the springs out first. You may have the wrong coilovers all together, but I could be wrong. It's definitely not right though for sure. Springs are too short and probably the wrong rate but I do think coilovers are possibly too short as well.
Try to find out the specific model before you try and piece it together.
Good luck.

 

They may just need to be rebuilt and recharged. As far as I know they don't sell different coil over lengths unless it extended travel, but that just requires removing the shims.. It's the spring that's the real issue.

 

Thanks for all the input guys. I
Bought these from a friend who said they were built for fox race team in house. I have no
Reason to not trust this guy but like I said he ran them on his same exact truck as mine and loved them he just didn’t have plate bumper and winch. So
I have to assume that is the issue. Y’all have been super kind.

 

I am running icon 2.5 with a 650lb spring about 1inch of preload on them and just put this beast in it. Dropped the front from about 5 inches to 4. She sit level now as where I had a cali/bro lean before

 

What are your measurements? 5" to 4" of what?

 

Lift from center of the hub to bottom of fender flare.

 

Still doesn't make sense. You're saying it's 5 inches from the center of the hub to the bottom of the flare but that's impossible.

 

How is it impossible? Please enlighten me

 

Because it's ~23". Half of the wheel by itself would take up more space than 4-5", then add your tire then add the gap between your tire and fender.

 

Thanks, I am 2wd with a 4 inch spindle lift with the 2.5 icon 650 coils preloaded roughly another 1.25 to 1.50 more inches. The wheel is 16x8 running a 265/70/16. Oh and stock uca's with no issues except my caster is maxed but truck tracks straight and drives fine.

 

Was just gonna say maybe it’s a drop bracket lift or spindles if 2wd.

 

Some people assume instead of asking the right questions

 

It STILL doesn't measure 4-5" from the center of the hub to the bottom of the flare! That's STILL impossible.
I guess you're not reading what you're typing.
The distance from the center of the hub to the edge of the wheel is a minimum of 8". Try again.

This is the center of the hub:


This is the bottom of the flare:


See how it's impossible to be 4-5"?

 

@TempeTRD Avid should be able to help you switch out your C/O springs. @2ndGenJonny
