Trd lift kit

I’m about to put fox 2.0 on my truck, i was wondering how much i could get for my trd lift, probably 10 miles on them. Just wondering.

 

Fox 2.0 seems like at best a lateral move not really an upgrade. Why the switch?

 

^This, it really seems like a same same if not potentially worse change. Why bother.

 

Looking for a softer ride, these are basically 5100s. Would switching to a linear from a digressive not be a step in the right direction if getting a smoother ride is the goal?

 

You won't see that much of a difference. Comparing my truck lifted on 5100s and a 1-inch block aka 2/1 on 285s rides almost as good as my family member's Pro. Try and improve on what you have like making sure the air pressure is about 30 and try some better bump stops. I don't think it's worth the hassle and money.

 

Try lowering the tire pressure. I have E loads on a heavy truck (~5400 lbs) and run 30 PSI front and 25 rear.

 

Sorta. Fox especially their lower end stuff was noted for less than ideal ride quality during the blind testing videos that were done. I now remember your other post. I would really go and experiment with other tire combinations before dropping money on all new suspension. There are way to many happy people with the 5100's or that trd kit to be the root of your problem.

 

I’ve lowered my pressure to 32/33 on all 4 tires. It helped a little. I believe i have bad ball joints on my spcs so im going to swap those with the newer ones. I also did the carrier bearing drop. I’m not sure if that really did anything or it’s in my mind but to me that also helped a tad bit. I was thinking of trying to drop the front so my cvs were as straight as they could be, maybe I’m getting vibration there. But my thought process is, i have 5100s “tuned for trd” with the stock coils on them. I ditched the rear block and just went with the ome medium load with gives me a little more lift in the back than the blocks did. I believe it rides better with those vs the block. I just have been and convinced that if i swapped to a linear valved shock it would increase the comfort on road. But that’s why i asked in here before hitting that buy button last night lmao

 

Add some weight to the bed if it's empty. Assuming this is dcsb those med leafs will be stiff until the flatten out and you want to replace them as they won't hold up groceries much less an actual load.

I mean all the power to you to swap out suspension but going to an sl rated 285 would likely do you far better than anything

 

Good luck Devin.

 

Thank you tocamo

 

The block will be a better ride, try new bump stops.

absolutely!

 

I went with Bilstein 6112 5160
