Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

Does anyone know if the springs can be changed out to heavier ones on fox 2.0 coilovers? And which ones to use? I have a steel bumper and skid plates from the front to the transfer case and sliders on the way. It’s now sagging a bit

 

Idk about 2.0s but I have 2.5s and changed them out to 14” 700lb Eibach springs. I would go with 700lbs if you’re adding all that steel!

 

Appreciate all the super helpful posts!

The shop ground down the perch and rotated the shocks a bit on both sides.

A lot more clearance now, will post a pic later.

I can see how this issue might be worse for some than others just purely depending on how your bracket came out of the factory.

 

None!!! Luckily I caught it before anything happened.

 

This is a known issue and has been covered many times. Definitely a poor design on Fox's part but the shop should have also been more aware. It's obvious that the shock will move with the rubber bushing and there is little clearance between the fitting and mount.

 

Anyone know where to find some good skid plate mounting brackets? My sway bar hits the frame support braces (which are trashed from a big hit anyways) wondering if there's something that mounts straight to the frame that my BPF skid plate will line up with.

 

Just got my new 2.5, resi but non dsc. They have a small black knob on the end of the resi that turns but I didnt want to turn it too far out, anyone know what this does or is for?

 

Looks like a cap.

 

Well what is it capping?

 

Probably the head of whatever screw is under there

 

A fill stem? The nitrogen needs to get in there somehow.

 

Bingo

 

Exactly. It's just a cap for the schrader valve underneath it to allow for the nitrogen charge.

 

Just leave your shocks alone.

 

That's the advice we should give enthusiasts!

 

That's what I'm here for!

 

Hi all I am looking to get Fox 2.5 coilovers, however there are 2 options;

1. Fox 2.5 Factory Series Coilovers - 883-02-025
These state that the max lift is 3 inches. UCA need.

2. Fox 2.5 Factory Series Coilovers - 880-02-361
These state that the max lift is 2 inches. No UCA need.

I am looking to get 2.5 inches of lift. Can I max out #1 to 2.5", or do 2.5" on #2 without the UAC? What are y'alls thoughts. Currently on stock suspension, I want to be able to go a faster off-road, not into crawling or obstacles.

Icon stage 2 is another option but heard it rides too hard, Elka 2.0 is also another option

Thanks

 

Buy once cry once. Get the extended travels and a pair of upper control arms. Not the answer you wanted but please heed my advice and get more than what you need now. You will hate your self later and spend thousands extra trying to do it again.

 

I'm speaking from constant personal experience

 

If you are thinking of going the 2 or 3 inches, you’ll definitely want new UCAs. It’s just easier to do it right the first time, you’ll be much happier you did.
