    1.5 inch I think you would be fine. Depends on total added weight. That said I think with sliders, winch, and skids 650 is a good idea

    That would be my vote. Worse case scenario is stiffer ride until you add weight

    You posted it while I was figuring out how to. I think it’s great info for all to see.
    Yea I think you may be getting an order for those soon.

    I agree. I don’t think it can be worse than the stock hitachise

    I have the older fox coilovers like the one pictured below. It has the 2 collars above the spring. I'm assuming that I just addjust the collars and there's no nut to loosen. I can't see any.

    I'm trying to take some preload out and lower the front. How much does a full turn on the collar drop the front of the truck?

    Not sure where to post, this is Def a NOOB question but....

    I want to lift my 2019 pro (<3") and keep my fox shocks. What is the proper way to do this? Seen the add a leaf in the back option, seems better than a spacer? But is this "the right/best option" ? What about the front?

    Am I stuck to just putting some kind of spacers in if I want to maintain my current fox components?

    I have a noob question for you guys. I’m looking into upgrading my shocks and I’m interested in a Fox setup. Does having reservoirs increase ride quality? I only do light off-roading, no rock crawling or anything crazy, just trails. Therefore I’m looking into getting shocks without reservoirs.

    Is there a difference between ride quality with and without reservoirs?

    Am NOOB too but I think the internal bypass are mostly for large changes in the magnitude of the force against the wheel....i.e. if you're compressing/rebounding at a high frequency they become engaged, but if you're crawling dont think they do

    Got me the Fox level 2 kit from Headstrong. On SCS Ray 10s with 265/75r16 KO2s. Very stoked so far but hoping the Dakar’s will settle a bit with the added weigh of the shell. What do you guys think?

    yes, the dakars will settle and be softer over time. load that shell full of camping gear and go get a good long off road trip in and they will settle even faster. plus, more fun.

    looking good.

    Fox, king, ads are all top of the line. You're doing it right. 2nd gen or third? 4x4 v6 or 4 banger? These make a difference in the weight on your coil. Assuming you already have sliders and skids.

    14" 600's will ride better, but don't give you much room to grow weight wise. If you plan to add any more weight, like a winch, dual battery, rear bumper or load the bed down frequently, 650's are your ticket.
