    With the weight you may want to consider a coil swap which we can do for you. If you want to go over your options feel free to PM me and I can help you when I am back in on Monday.

    Hey everyone. I'm looking at the stage 3 w/ either 3AAL or medium Dakars for the rear. I'm really trying to get a certain stance here like the picture below (yes, I know Andrew has Kings in this pic; don't kill me haha). I like the level look; I don't do any heavy hauling on a normal basis, maybe the occasional trip to the local dump. Will I be able to achieve this with the mentioned setup? I was also considering the 5100/OME 888 and Dakar route as well.

    I finally installed my 2.0's using just the resi clamps instead of trying to do frame mount, but on the passenger's side the resi is now rubbing on the e-brake cable and the metal collar on the e-brake cable has gouged up the resi...

    I unbolted the closer guide for the line and that looks like the clearance is better now, but now it looks like the e-brake cable will be rubbing on the leaf spring.

    How have people with the 90 degree fitting rear foxes handled this??

    What springs are you gonna run in the rear? Also when you’re ready PM @Babyjake16 he has the best pricing for fox shocks. Just tell him the part numbers you need and he can price for you.

    Looking at doing the fox 2.5 RR with adjuster paired with RXT in the middle spring setting or #2 setting.
    Will this work well..?
    Compression and droop..?

    Any particular reason for the 2.5 over a 2.0? Im also interested in the rxt. I have deaver expedition pack but looking to lose some weight hopefully and go with a lower rated spring. Curious if each of the 3 rxt options compare to any other springs on the market. Solid setup mentioned above though. Just dont be dumb and get oem length shocks like me and you should have good mix of comp/ droop if you pick the spring setup that closest matches your continuous weight

    What’s the easiest way to adjust the 2.5 coilovers? Do I really need the spanner wrench or can I use something similar that works better and or better price?

    2 punchs or similar tools is key like the ones posted above (cut off screw driver or whatever) with 5/16 diameter I believe. Its been awhile i forgot. Never used a spanner wrench but cant image it is better than this method. If you are looking at Coilover put them in holes at 4 o’clock (right hand) and 6/ 7 o’clock (left hand) approximately and you can get some good torque going clockwise if raising. A little lube helps. Best tool fit in holes helps to not elongate them
