    Yes I installed them yesterday and got ~2" of lift. They ride really nice, firm but not rough. For the money they are 10x better then the 5100s with ome springs I had before. I'm surprised more people don't get these instead the 5100s with springs. Lots of thread left so they def could give you 3" of lift if needed. I am ever so slightly higher up front then the rear with my non TSB 3 leaf rear that is shit. Once I add a leaf or install a 4 pack I should have a slight higher rear end.

    Do they come set to 2" out of the box or did you set them there? In what way to these ride better than the 5100s? I'm still stock but seriously looking at either these or the 5100s.

    I did not adjust them, I put them on straight out of the box. They are setup to level the truck the way they come. Mine is slightly higher up front because of my sagging rear end I will be replacing.

    5100s are more harsh hitting small stuff on the road. You feel every small bump and hitting potholes would rattle my dash a little. The fox 2.0 setup still absorbs the small stuff way better then the 5100s. Overall they are about the same as far as firmness, but like I said they are way better on small stuff. Both setups get rid of the stock floating feel I hate.

    Cost is a but more but install is way easier and you can adjust the ride height. If you can't do install you will save a lot too since the mechanic doesn't have to remove the old spring and put on your 5100s. Anyone who is going to pay for install of front suspension will makeup for the upfront cost difference by saving on labor. Plus you have stock parts that can easily be put back on the truck if you need to sell or rebuild the Fox shocks. The 5100s can not be rebuilt.

    Here is a better picture of after I installed them and had an alignment done.

    Looks great!! Thanks for the info on the ride quality, exactly what I was looking for. I'll be picking up a set of the Fox coilovers hopefully when the black Friday sales come out.
