    How you fellas liking your Radflo 2.5s? Looking to change out my ICONs since I've added a SP X1 and the ride sucks and looking at the Radflo v Fox. Went down to Radflo yesterday and did a tour, cool people and great setup. TIA

    Just rotate one fitting 180 degrees clockwise, and you shouldnt need to recharge as you are just tightening the fitting and not loosening.

    Waiting on my 2.5's with 700 lb coils and resivors to get here. Radflo said they should be set for 2.5" lift but I'm running a SSO Slimline bumper and winch. What kind of preload should I look for to get me in the 2.75" area?

    Mine came with fully preloaded. I was told over the phone to not go more than a inch of exposed thread. I think they were being a bit conservative with that recommendation, as it looks like you could add another .25 - .5 inch or so before my 600 lbs springs would block out. If 700 springs have thicker coils, then make that is the max.

    I thought the max lift is 2.5 inches for these on thier website. If you go above and you don't get coil bind at full compression, you still are likely going to top out too often.

    I got the extended that Radflo said can go to 3". They said they are preset to 2.5" but based on my trucks front could be moved up. He said that 1" of threads is 1-1/8" of lift.

    Got it. Your setup and mine is probably apples/oranges.

    How many inches do you have your front set at. Im wanting close to 2.5-3" but I have around 230 pounds of added weight.

    Got them on today. Even with the bumper, winch and steel skid, with the 700 lb coil and no preload I'm at about 2.25". I'll drive it for a week or 2 then make some adjustments.

    Center of hub to top of wheel well. It's a SR5 4x4. It has a stock look but those are 285/75/16 tires so it gives that illusion

    Alright so, I have a 23' TRD OR. I also have Radflo's w/remote resi's all around. My front center hub stock was 21", after install I am at 21.75". I read you have an SR5 so just throwing my info and numbers out there to see if it helps. Everywhere I have read on here says to not go higher than 23" center hub to bottom fender as your CV boots will wear. I will be bumping mine up 1" as I AAL so the rear is sky high right now. Hope this helps!

    Keeping this thread going. Lifted the front up a little more. Wheels are SCS F5's 16X8 +0 offset, tires are Open Country AT3's 265/75r16. Wish I went 255/85 but can always swap when these need to be replaced. Absolutely love the Radflo's.

    I currently have some Rad Flo’s being made for my 85 Toyota pickup that should be ready in a few weeks and I’m really looking forward to trying them out. Running Alcan springs front and rear so they're gonna be valved for my spring rate and weight. Will report back.
