Are remote resi's with adjusters worth it?

I'm stealing that advice from the incomparable Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road who pointed out that it's just that one leaf that distinguishes the two packs, so it's easy to change your mind if you buy the heavy duty.

 

I got an amazing deal because the guy didn't know that he could just add a leaf to his medium pack and make it the heavy. So he had the medium taken off, bought a new heavy pack and paid to have it installed. Then sold me the 2 week old pack for 275.00, I think I made out on that one.

 

FYI the king adjusters aren't as effective as the Fox adjusters, so they're less likely to be used.

Low speed compression is 85% of what you'll spend your time tuning.

 

Wow those are some very interesting write ups. Thanks for sharing that, it seems like basically if you going to spend the money on Kings then don't add them but if you're going with Fox it would be a worthy investment.

 

Thank you @STexaslovestacos

 

No, thank you! my truck looks great!

 

IT SURE DOES!

 

I have the fox 2.5 rest with the DSC front and rear, definitely worth it because I do feel a big difference when I switch from stiff to soft. Especially not having a sway bar I stiffen the front when I'm driving in the street.

 

Standard 600lb springs or did you upgrade?

 

600

 

Have the 2.5 Fox DSC on all four corners, 650lb coils, Camburg UCA’s and Deaver packs.
And yes they make a difference!
So far I have three settings mapped out .
One for desert go fast stuff , and the other for the bumpy stuff. The last for highway.

 

So what you going with OP?

 

That's the main reason I was thinking about going with the adjusters in the front so I could compensate with the swaybar being removed.

I think I am going to go with headstrong's Fox Level three kit with DSC Adj in the front. I'm still torn for what I want to do in the back. I might just go with the buy once cry once theory going with the adjusters in the back with the heavy duty leafs.

 

I'd do the adjuster in back. No questions.

 

If you gotta ask, then no.




But yes they actually are if you can use them.

 

You will want to upgrade in the future if you dont go DSC in the rear, just save up more and do everything at once so you only replace once. You will be happy trust me, if you were in socal I would let you drive my truck.

 

He’d have to do 2.5s in the rear to get DSC. The 2.0s only have low speed compression adjustments, but still better than nothing.

 

I guess I didn't realize that the 2.0s only have the low speed compression on them. Since 2.5's in the rear out prices my budget I think I won't be missing out on to much if I omit them for the back. I can always make changes in the future.
