1st Gen build

So guys i'm going for a mid travel set up i wont be going LT to much maitence etc, anyway i'll be going with JBA control arms & ball joint, & Fox 2.0 coilovers all around with some old man leaf springs for the rear... comes out to about 1899 almost 2g's i'll be putting it all on my self so no more cost but does that sound like a good set up for a mid travel? Or anything i'm missing

 

Extended brake lines, exhaust bracket or cut it, new hardware for leaf springs, alignment, bigger tires...the endless list really. But yeah solid set up for mid travel

 

spend the extra money for the 2.5s, i dont believe the 2.0 are rebuildable

 

The 2.0s are rebuildable but the 2.5s for the front are a better option imo, since they're only a couple hundred more (IIRC) and they are much easier to adjust the preload. You need a spring compressor for the 2.0s.

 

Go 2.5

Better preformance and easy to install.

 

So guys i went with the 2.0's couldent find any 2.5's for my year, sadly but i got 2.0's all around with JBA UCA's i'll post pics rightnow & give a review i also installed a top light bar & going to install the shocks soon, i actually was looking at LT set ups & haft to go LT next year or something

 

The list does go on! Going after bump stops brake lines 33's fiberglass etc next paycheck i'll keep updating my build

 

Have you installed these yet? I've been looking at getting the 2.0 front and rear, no uca's

 

Why yes i have actually weeks ago! & omg is the performace amazing trust me the difference between stock is insane also your gunna need new UCA's with these coilovers it gave me a 3inch lift & if i dident run the UCA's my arm would have been drooping way to far down for it to have any improvement in performace i only paid 1500 for 2.0coilovers & rear fox shocks with the JBA control arms i plan to go long travel in a couple months with 3.0 shocks & bypasses but thats gunna be for another time

 

oh wow, if I need uca's, im out, will be too much $$. I keep seeing the uca's are only needed with the extended travel 2.5's so I've been looking at either the standard travel 2.0 or 2.5. I do have a front arb bumper so maybe it'll still work. What LT set up are you doing?

 

I mean u could run the 2.0's without the UCA's but it's highly recomonded to get new arms & i plan to go tottal chaos since it alows for another shock

 

I think ill still give the 2.0's a shot. any particular reason for going with fox over kings? and where did you get yours from? looking for the best deal on them right now


also, don't mean to thread jack, just haven't seen many 1st gens with the fox 2.0's lately

 

Ya bro i love them haha i went with fox 2.0's because they been around alot longer then the kings so l i thought they'd have more experience & its all good man i'm glad to help etc

 

I have Fox 2.0's installed no UCA and I have 285's on my truck. She rides great, had to do the pinch weld mod to help the small rubbing but nothing to serious. I plan on going LT soon though.

 

I plan on going to 33's my self but did u have any problems with having to regear?? I saw 4.88 are great to regear but stock looses power plus millage & then your tranny missing on finding gears to push those heavy mf's

 

Heres a pic of my set up

 

I want to regear cause sometimes its a little annoying having the trans find the right gear

 

I’ll buy your JBA’s off you when you go long travel. Let me know

 

Do you know the spring rate on these? I think there should be some numbers on the coil somewhere

 

Fasho homie i'll hit u up
