    Shoutout to Kenny at @AccuTune Offroad. Super helpful. I was extremely confident with my decision after the initial phone call. These guys know their stuff!

    Vanity question: are there any 14" springs that work with the 2.5s that are red? May or may not be to better match my truck.:anonymous:

    SAW/AFE might have something or just get them powder coated in the color you want.

    You want 1400x300x-your spring rate for a 2.5 coilover.

    some Icon's I did with red springs.

    Thanks for that. Would you mind posting the image directly? I can't see it, maybe because I don't have an Instagram account.

    Added Icon RXT leaf packs. 2nd setting. Life is good. No more jarring hits on the rear. Kicking myself for waiting so long.

    Saweet!! I've been meaning to ask @AccuTune Offroad a question about the RXT's (thanks for the reminder). Currently, I'm on the 2nd setting and am running Fox DSC 2.5 extended. Can I go up to the 3rd option without messing up my travel or should I stick with the 2nd option?

    I’m debating whether to get these or not. Currently I have a 3 leaf progressive add-a-leaf with the overload out. It rides pretty good except for small fast bumps.
    I’m just not sure if they will feel and perform better than what I have now

    They will. I‘v never been happier with the ride. It even makes the front feel better and I can run softer settings up front because the rear is finally sprung properly.

    How much weight do you have in the back?

    Any reason in particular you want to go up?
    The stage 3 will increase height a little bit, and will not have any negative affects on the shocks.

    Btw, for anyone replacing an old setup w/ new. Are you just removing the old setup and measuring top hat to lower shock bolt then matching that to the new Fox? Any tips appreciated. In an effort to have as much info as possible before the install, anyone w/ ~2.5" on stock LCA's know how many threads are showing on the 2.5's? Lastly, can I just turn these w/o compressing the springs to gain ride height? I believe they don't have to be unloaded b/c of material construction, is that right? @AccuTune Offroad

    My rack and RTT weigh around 250 lbs combined. I plan on running this set up about 8 months out of the year. At the moment I only have the bed rack on my truck and have about 1/3" rake. Once I put the tent on that will decrease. I also want to swap out the springs to 600 x 14" to increase the lift on the front by about 1/2". Currently I'm at 2" over stock in the front. I think if I go with option 3 on the RXT's that will help retain a little rake for when I have the rack and RTT on. If I go up to option 3 do you recommend that I extend the brake lines?
