    Yep, already red that.
    I'm not sure it's too much to ask if your going to drop 3 to 5 G's on suspension if it's going to rust or corrode prematurely...

    I completely agree. Which is why I suggested contacting them about what they've improved far as coatings

    Ya I meant that as a concern and I need to call for sure, my sarcasm is I would hope they have gotten it solved for the coin they charge..
    I'll post back after I call...

    I'm not sure what the process change was but Andrew at Accutune was the one that told me about it because I asked him the exact same question about the older ones getting ruined over time.

    I will say that my rear Performance 2.0 IFPs have stayed pretty much longer than the 5100s did!

    I measured pre and post install and I got 1” up front after installing straight out of the box. The truck sits pretty level now but once I lift the back it should have about an inch of rake.

    I’m running the 985-26-118

    They are nearly perfect with the EL095r Dakar’s I’m running. They would be perfect if they were ~1/2” longer as I have some travel left in the springs with these are fully dropped out.

    If it's been corrected, I don't see a problem.

    can you measure precisely center hub to fender? id like to gain 2.75 inches of lift with the 14'' eibach 700 lb springs.. just seeing where i need to place my preload at... also can you take shots of your CV angles?

    Looking to achieve 2.75" up front with this setup. I only have sliders that account for weight in the front (if any). Do you think this spring will suffice without suffering too much ride quality?

    I'd use the 14" 650lb springs. That's what they should come with from Fox but instead they come w/the useless 13" 600lb springs.
    I don't think you can get 2.75" w/a 3rd gen w/out creating other issues. 3rd gen is 1" taller than 2nd gen from the get-go.

    I've got a 4 banger, with armor. Already plan, when time to buy comes, to get them with 650lb coils instead.
