    I'm having a hard time finding what coilovers are available for my 2016 with 4" Drop bracket lift. My understanding is the kit can be adjusted anywhere from 3.5" - 6" of lift

    I see Fox 883-02-044 Listed on your website. But is that the only option.

    Also, what is the spring rate, does fox offer a non reservoir version, and is the valving progressive or digressive.

    Thank you for the help.

    I got following answer from DSMS regarding to the 883-02-044:
    I found them from rcdlift.com. They come with 16" 600 lbs Eibach springs and are progressive valving. I have not seen w/o reservoir version of these, but you could get them with DSC too, part.no. 883-06-044 (if still available).

    Would you know if those shocks will work with the rough country 4" drop down bracket lift?

    http://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-75720.html

    Rough Country said the 2.5 shocks should fit, but could not be certain as they have not tried it themselves.

    I ended up getting the fox 883 02 044 for my bds kit, and I had to raise them up a few turns. These coils are made for 4-5" kits so I would think they would fit your kit too, but I haven't heard of anyone trying it on a rough country yet

    Is the RC 4" crossmember 3" high? = do it lower the lower A-arm mounting points 3"?

    If so, then the dimensions are same than in my setup in FJ. The coilovers are 0.6" longer than mine, so they might be difficult to install because the upper A-arm drops down so much = likely contact to the spring. You definitely would need an aftermarket UCAs. And maybe some limit straps.

    I have only about 3/4" thread visible and I have 4" lift now. So with those there is almost any preload if 4" is the target.

    I called RC and they said that it's about 3 1/2" - 4" I would say it will work but not certain what do you think?

    If those dimensions are true, they will work nicely.

    But I think it's more like 3" than 3 1/2". So they are a little too long, but there is a downtravel limiter blocks in the kit, which work at least with stock UCAs. Summa summarum, they would work. Maybe need to remove upper or lower A-arms while installation.

    Only one way to find out and that will be to measure the crossmember my self, I should be receiving my lift tomorrow. I'll let you know what I find out, hey if I replace the UCA's and install those shocks would that workout?

    I have a 08 fj 4wd and I am thinking of installing the shocks/coil from a trd off rd 2017 Tacoma...
    I do have a two in. spacer on the fj with the stock shocks and coils now...
    The Tacoma shocks seem to have a 1in spacer on it...
    has any one done this install or seen it or any advise ?
