Fox 2.5 Coil Over w/ Remote Resi Adjustment

I installed Fox 2.5 C/O with remote resi and purchased a Fox spanner wrench. If you have ever adjusted coil overs with remote resi you know you lose actual ring space to tighten the collar. So previously I was only able to adjust the coil overs to roughly 2" lift with the extra Fox spanner wrench with an allen tool I had which tore up the holes. Recently I saw a video post for Icons and they recommended using a 5/16" hole punch. Ran down to my local Harbor Frieght store and purchase a heavy duty hole much set for $8 with 5 hole punches including 5/16". Jacked up the truck and the 5/16" fit perfectly in the adjuster collar and was able to crank the lift to 3" in less than a min. I would recommend not even buying the fox spanner wrench since its absolutely useless with remote resi plus is cost $50. The 5/16" punch was long enough to provide minimal effort while strong enough to not bend.

 

You cranked the shit out of that thing.

 

Looks like a hell of a lot of preload. Make sure FOX says that's ok.

 

Works great on adjusting KING'S as well.


(oh, and shit that's a lot of preload! lol)

 

It looks worse in the picture so I double check after work and I was running at 4" lift. I know the 2016 sits 1" higher but I didn't take it into consideration when adjusting the coils. Now I'm sad that it sits so low but I left it at 3.25" lift for when I install my full skids to drop it to 3".
