For all the guys running Accutune Fox coilovers/shocks, what tune are you running? I had the trail tune and it was a bit stiff for my taste, having them revalved, probably to their street tune. They also said they have a "weekend warrior" tune.

 

i have no idea what tune lol. i dont think those were options back when i did it.

 

This is the first I've heard of labels for specific tunes.... Just had mine back from a retune, the first was way too stiff for my liking. Having just installed them the other day, I know they are softer, seem great, but havent had a chance to test them offroad yet!!!

 

Hoping mine aren't too stiff...!!
Was looking for an initial plush ride without too much body roll for my mostly street driving but then still suck it up off road...
Do not want to rattle my teeth out which is why I chose tuned in the first place.

 

Nice, let us know how they ride when you get a bit more time on them. I’m hoping with a retune I can leave them pretty much open on the street and turn up damping when I go off-road. Right now I can’t even use the adjusters, too stiff on full open. They told me they are supposed to be like this for off-road to stay on top of bumps.

 

Some people have wanted softer tunes so we listened and are working on developing street and weekend warrior tunes that are less off-road oriented. So far those tunes are only available on limited applications and shock combinations. As always re-valves are free, so if anyone wants the softer tunes there's no charge, we just want everyone to get the most out of their suspension and to enjoy their trucks.

 

Accutune customer service has been top notch and very easy to work with, excited to try out new tune!

 

If you could post a layman's explanation of your variety of tunes and compare those to each other and the stock tune on Fox, I think a lot of people would be interested.

 

Makes me wonder how mine are valved..??
I asked for a good street ride and still suck it up off-road. Haven't installed mine yet so can't tell how it rides. Any way to look mine up and tell me what to expect..??

 

It will be interesting to see how 2.5 adj DSCs all around with Icon RXTs feel coming from a pro suspension.

I'll be adding a bumper/winch up front next year (~110-140lbs) and don't want to sag .5ish inches. I'll also be putting an RTT/fridge/100AH battery for solar storage and a lot of other stuff in the back now and then for camping trips which is why I got the RXT leafs.

So far I have the leafs, the adjusted tundra rears will be here tomorrow and the fronts will ship soon.

I'm about to send them another email because I asked to set the front to be around 2.85" of lift to level the RXT option 1 that has 1.85" of lift in the rear.

I like plush on the road, but I want the truck to do decent on the off-road camping trips too. I want my cake and eat it too I know, but hopefully they can figure out what's best for me.

 

2.5s with dsc will be fine for off-road / camping

 

Keep us posted, would love to hear how you feel they perform compared to pro suspension once you get everything dialed.

 

What did you end up with? My fox 2.5 factory series came 50/70 way to soft imo bottomed out.

 

I'm due for some new shocks in the new few months, and while I've been leaning pretty heavily towards ADS, it's posts like these that make me think I should just go Fox and Accutune.

 

you definitely need to give Ryan and his guys a call, or a thorough email. He and the team are very responsive, and the work is good. Love what they did with my massively long 6" lift coils. The ride is stellar, and I'm on F-load range 35"s. They're stiff.

 

Accutune rears came in yesterday and looks like the fronts will ship the week of Thanksgiving.

I had initially asked for 2.85" up front to match the 1.85" from the RXT leafs but Mike at accutune told me anything above 2.5 will get harsh, so I'm going with their advice on keeping it at or below 2.5".

Not looking forward to having to remove the stock to adjust, so I'm looking into spring compressors that will work to ease just enough tension to adjust while still installed.

 

Get one of these pictured below. It's what I bought, and have used twice now, to adjust mine while on the truck. I have to disconnect the sway bar to get it against the coil.

 

If you got 2.5s on the front than no need for spring compressors. They can be adjusted pretty easily on the truck. Many here, myself included, have done it. If you have 2.0s than I believe that is a different story.
