Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

14” 600 lb 23.5” hub to fender

Edit: my measurements were just after install and it was a bit higher than 23.5” i haven’t taken any recently to see how much it settled

 

Wow!! I’m surprised you have any down travel.. 14” 600lb 23.5” hub to fender 2.5” up 3rd gen

 

@*TRD*
You’ve probably explained a few times, but can you elaborate? Reason I went with a 650 was to future proof for skids/bumper/winch. Did my installers just not set everything correctly?

a whole 1/2"

 

That’s ok I’ll switch springs with ya!! I’m going to add a bumper and a winch soon!! 650lb will probably be needed. I have the stock 13” 600lb springs too. Lemme know

 

You have 14” 600 springs? Looking for 14” 650’s?

 

Yes 14” 600

 

Do you know how low it would go if you cranked the collar up? I'm sitting at 21.75/22" at the front on the original 13" 600lb springs, and want to go up to 22.5" to keep my rake. (my rear is at 23-23.5 and I'm happy with it)

I should ask are your coilovers extended length or not?

 

Yes extended. And I’m 3rd gen.. i can’t tell you exactly where to crank your collars.. but if you want to go up an inch. I’d start by measuring the threads you have exposed now. And try an inch more preload. Every truck is a bit different so your miles may vary. But make sure you jack up the truck and lube the threads before you try to adjust collar.. hope this helps

 

Where you located? I might be interested in trading you

 

I have the non extended length, and am still on the 13” 600lb springs. I cranked them up to get 1.5” of lift, and was advised by fox not to go further.
Looks like with the 14” 600lb springs mine will have to have more threads showing than yours, so that’s good. I just wanted to make sure I knew what I was looking at.

 

South FL.. it’s going to be some time before I get them off my truck.. need to get my bumper/winch first

 

Installed the ARB bumper and 14" 600 pound springs over the weekend of my 2.5 ext travel Foxes. I think they are settled with 2" on threads of showing (about 2 and 1/4 on the drivers side). The hub to fender is at 23" so about a 2.5 inch lift with stupid heavy ARB Summit series bar. The ride is like floating on a cloud @AccuTune Offroad was correct on the 600 pound spring setup. I'll take some photos later today.

 

Here is your photo rides great hub to fender measures 23" so a 2.5" lift.

 

Might try this in the spring to adjust the collar

21” is stock on 3rd gen so your about 2” up which is perfect.. did you add a winch to the bumper too?? And do you know by chance how much that ARB weighs?? It’s good to know you can use 600lb springs w a bumper

 

My premeasurement was 20.5". the 600 pound spring works but its a 14", not a 13" that comes with the 2.5 extended travel setup. I think the bumper weights about 180 lbs., the shipping weight was 220lbs.

 

Ok i guess every truck is a bit different.. mine was 21 passenger and 20.75 driver.. yes i have 14” 600 and I’m in the market for bumper/winch.. & damn that’s a heavy sob

 

Nice! Sounds like the bumper time I have 2" of thread on the pass and 2 1/4" on the drivers, I don't have a swaybar either. It floats down the road.

 

When switching coils out to 14” 650’s how much are people adjusting the collar? I’ve installed mine but have not adjusting due to wanting to let them settle...

 

Does anyone here have an opinion on the new fox shocks that are on the Pros? Just starting my research and not sure if I want to go with the pro set up, Fox 2.0/2.5 or a king set up.

Ether an extended travel or long travel.

Primary use truck is my daily but would also turn into endurance/overland truck.
