    Does anyone know if the springs can be changed out to heavier ones on fox 2.0 coilovers? And which ones to use? I have a steel bumper and skid plates from the front to the transfer case and sliders on the way. It’s now sagging a bit

    Idk about 2.0s but I have 2.5s and changed them out to 14” 700lb Eibach springs. I would go with 700lbs if you’re adding all that steel!

    Appreciate all the super helpful posts!

    The shop ground down the perch and rotated the shocks a bit on both sides.

    A lot more clearance now, will post a pic later.

    I can see how this issue might be worse for some than others just purely depending on how your bracket came out of the factory.

    This is a known issue and has been covered many times. Definitely a poor design on Fox's part but the shop should have also been more aware. It's obvious that the shock will move with the rubber bushing and there is little clearance between the fitting and mount.

    Anyone know where to find some good skid plate mounting brackets? My sway bar hits the frame support braces (which are trashed from a big hit anyways) wondering if there's something that mounts straight to the frame that my BPF skid plate will line up with.

    A fill stem? The nitrogen needs to get in there somehow.

    Exactly. It's just a cap for the schrader valve underneath it to allow for the nitrogen charge.

    Just leave your shocks alone.

    That's the advice we should give enthusiasts!

    Stock, not for long
    Hi all I am looking to get Fox 2.5 coilovers, however there are 2 options;

    1. Fox 2.5 Factory Series Coilovers - 883-02-025
    These state that the max lift is 3 inches. UCA need.

    2. Fox 2.5 Factory Series Coilovers - 880-02-361
    These state that the max lift is 2 inches. No UCA need.

    I am looking to get 2.5 inches of lift. Can I max out #1 to 2.5", or do 2.5" on #2 without the UAC? What are y'alls thoughts. Currently on stock suspension, I want to be able to go a faster off-road, not into crawling or obstacles.:mudding:

    Icon stage 2 is another option but heard it rides too hard, Elka 2.0 is also another option

    Thanks

    Buy once cry once. Get the extended travels and a pair of upper control arms. Not the answer you wanted but please heed my advice and get more than what you need now. You will hate your self later and spend thousands extra trying to do it again.

    If you are thinking of going the 2 or 3 inches, you’ll definitely want new UCAs. It’s just easier to do it right the first time, you’ll be much happier you did.
