Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

23”, exactly where I want to be. That’s a 2” lift and 3” for second gen. I wouldn’t go any higher than that.

 

Thanks

 

Instead of going through all these pages searching for the answer... can someone help me out, possibly some advice... I have 2.0 w/rr in the rear of my 2019 OR. Didn’t have any issues with them on my 2017 2wd. Now I’m really close to the mounting bucket. Heard you need to grind some off... any pictures of a solution?

 

Any pictures of the issue your having? You can rotate the shock so the hose fitting has more clearance, that’s what I did on my 18.

 

Here is my driver side rear.. just don’t seem like I have the clearance needed

 

From that picture I wouldn’t be worried at all, I have about the same clearance. The shock upper bushing is pretty stiff and should compress that much to make that an issue. If you’re worried though just turn the shock slightly towards the tire, you can leave the resi where it is but the hose will have a little more clearance.

 

Alright.. just a little worried about the clearance. Also when wheeling I don’t want the line to get caught on the tire sidewall and break. Think I might be over thinking it

 

The tire would have nothing to grab the line with, unless a stick was stuck in the sidewall. Then you have bigger issues.

 

Just putting it out there for people, compard with sub par, my .9 inches of more thread showing (2.9 inches showing total!!!) on driver side with fox 2.5 coilovers (headstrong stage 2 fox kit) I have a 23.5 inch lift in front.

My weight is front steel skid, sliders, and a 40lb roof rack.

 

Wow and I was concerned with 2 1/4" of thread. What springs?

 

Stock fox coils right?

 

Yes stock.

 

Stock 13" 600 lbs.

 

13" 600 lb stock springs.

Similar to this members build. See attached with picture of thread showing.

*to summarize what I'm reading from what others have said fox recommended is be close to or under 2 inches of thread or "preload" showing. My question is if this applies to extended length coilovers? fyi Heres a post that contradicts that https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/installing-fox-2-5s-thread-adjustment-help-question.507638/ solution: call fox and ask direct...again and again 8]

Regardless, for those looking into above 2.5 inches of lift it seems to be recommended by accutune/member TRD to go with 14 springs with those front shocks.

I'm just going to try wheel it (SEND IT!) in the next few months and see if my shit works or takes a dump on me.

I really didnt want over a 2 inch lift but in the meantime to look normal, I felt obligated to match my 3.5 inch lift in the rear courtesy of new DAKAR MEDIUM DUTY LEAFS.

 

4wheel parts just did alignment same day I had a member install my suspension

New leaf rake


A month after comparison no changes made

 

Looks like the rears settled.. much better

 

Lol, damn man did Austin Powers park that thing in there or does it just look like it's wedged in between your wall and fence? Just noticed that, I still love that pic though.

 

It's Long Beach, we got alleys up in this hood. Surrounded by fences and low walls. Yeah, it's a bit tight but not as bad....well, maybe a little

 

I was going to ask what size tires, but after zooming in on the large pic I can just read it haha. Nice !

 

Are anyone else's foxes seem really jaring on small things, cracks/potholes?? Is this the nature of progressive suspension?? I have tried too many things to list at this point...
