Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

Was looking to. May go another direction. Not a fan of the shorter 13" 600 lb springs on them. Looking to achieve 2.75" of lift also but without having to preload those short springs. But again, I only have sliders and that's all the weight that will account for the front.

 

How did yours run with that preload at 2.75" of lift? Looks like you have/had the same setup as me in the front.

 

Yep, 1”. Thank you. Might adjust it up a little once I lift the back.

 

I'm only.on mobtownoffroads sliders for now. but next will be full skids from Rci.. dont plan on adding much more after besides a bedrac and rtt.

 

it runs very well right now. CV angles are straight. but I wanna jump up to 2.5 inches at least.

 

Anyone running 2.5 front and rear with RR's and DSC's in extended length with RXT springs in the first or second configuration...?
What bump stops were used and were they extended 1" or left stock height ...?
Ride and handling impressions..??

 

I’m running the 2.0 rr with 9.1 inches of travel with icon rxt config 2 and archive garage ubolt flip with superbumps and 1 inch spacer. Ride is great, hardly ever hit bump stops and on the rare occasion I do, the superbumps are not harsh. The rxt leaves in config 2 are a great balance of being able to carry a decent load but not being too stiff when not loaded.

Edit: also running 2.5 rr up front

 

Thanks....
What are hub to fender measurements front and rear...?
Pre and post lift..?
I'm going the same route but with 2.5 rears as well.

 

I went from OME lift so I don't have a good before baseline measurement but right now my hub to fender is 22.5" front and 23.75" rear. I have 650 lb coils in front with minimal preload, also running hidden winch mount and rock sliders.

 

Thanks, I'm hoping for 2 1/2" front and 2" rear leaving me with a 1/2" rake.

 

you will need to get the 0-3'' ext 2.5 versions. the standard will need a coil swap to 14'' 650 or 14'' 700lb rate

 

I don't jump trucks, so.......

 

That's what I'm getting.. 2.5 extended with RR's, and DSC

 

Looking to run 12" shocks in the rear with the BAMF mount. Will eventually get it valved at accutune. With that being said, how many of you guys are actually messing around with the DSC settings to actually make it worth that extra money?

 

me.

 

What do you find yourself making most of the adjustments for? And what kind of off roading do you do?

 

if you get the dsc adjusters theres no reason not to, it makes the ride significantly better and takes you less than 10 seconds to do. Ive been known to run around my truck mid-stop light just to adjust lol

 

New parts is always the big one. Anything that affects the suspension system will need to be accounted for in the valving. Other than that, when you adjust them there actually is a sweet spot with a couple different settings that will ride pretty well on or offroad and the only time you would have to adjust would be for if youre going to be crawling for a while. If you set the vehicle up well for going fast then the shocks will be too loose for crawling and youll be swaying the whole time, but if you set it for crawling it will be WAY too stiff for doing fast stuff well. I usually just accept being uncomfortable while crawling and try to go as fast as I can everywhere else and that works well for me!

 

I put it on super soft. i do crawling mostly on rock terrain or fire roads

 

Any of them should work, just depends on what color you want. I stuck with the silver eibachs.
I think the eibachs may be higher quality, they are slightly more and there is a cheaper brand that are just black...
