Fox Suspension and 3rd Gens

I am considering swapping my OME suspension out on my 17 DCSB for a Fox setup my OME is giving me 2” which I would like to keep or possibly add a little more up front to get rid of the rake.

With the 2.5 resi coilovers in front, do I need to use a spring compressor to adjust the shocks?

With the 2.0 resi coilovers in rear, can I mount the resi on the frame or do I need different fittings to mount the can horizontal? Also with the passenger side being upside down now on my OMEs, will it have to be the same for the Fox and if so I assume I may not be able to frame mo7nt the can?

 

You can adjust the front coilovers while on the truck. Just jack it up off the ground, loosen the set screw on the collar and spin. It's pretty easy and I have done it several times in playing with the ride height. Get an alignment after you are happy with the height.

For the 2.0 rear reservoirs, you can mount them horizontally on the frame if you don't want to use the supplied piggy back mount. Several places sell a reservoir mount that bolts to the frame. I considered doing so but chose to piggyback mine. Nothing will be upside down unless something radically changed on the 3rd gen that I am not aware of.

BTW, I see you are looking at the Fox coilovers I have for sale. Let me know if you are interested. They are a good deal.
