    I’m putting my Fox IFP’s on this weekend. My 1st gen suspension is beyond worn. My dad has a 3rd gen I’ll let you know how the ride quality compares

    I had the Fox 2.0 coil overs up front and the 2.0’s performance series on the rear.

    I’d definitely recommend them if the truck sees mostly pavement or only a little offroad.

    The coils come preset at about 1.5-2” of lift, and on my truck we’re just as good ride quality as oem. Slightly stiffer due to increased spring rate, but much better than 5100’s with preloaded oem coils or a spacer.

    With the rear, the calving matches the front coils well, but I would go with an add a leaf in stead of a block. Not much more expensive, and much better quality and safety.

    I liked them so much when I had them on my Tacoma, I didn’t consider any others when my father wanted to lift his Tundra, with the same goals in mind.

    There’s a lock screw on each collar and then you may need a spanner wrench for 2.0 shocks.

    Also unlike some other coil overs, you need to compress the spring to adjust the preload collar. I did it with some exterior spring compressors rented from autozone, or a shop can do it with a wall spring compressor.

    I turned it by hand once the spring was compressed, just make sure the threads are clean around the collar.

    All coil overs you will need to take the pressure off the spring to adjust by hand. You can do this by jacking up the vehicle from the frame, depending on the coil over design, simply rotating the spring is enough. Or use the right tool and not bother Jacking / compressing.
