Questions for those with Fox 2.0 Coilovers

Has anyone tried adjusting the pre-load on the Fox coilovers to get more than 2 inches of lift? I just picked up a 4x4 Ram and want to add ~4 inches up front.

Another thought would be to get Bils set at 2.8 and run a 1.5" leveling kit. I've had Bils set on the top perch on other trucks I've owned with a small leveling kit.

That's odd of them to say that considering coilovers are meant to be adjusted. What's your fender height with them on?

Now I see why they told you that. Most coilovers have two collars with one acting as a lock nut. Those can be adjusted on the vehicle. These 2.0 coilovers only have one collar. In order to adjust them, they have to be off the truck with the springs compressed.

A buddy of mine has the 2.5 Fox with the external resi, and he has to take his off to adjust because it has one collar. I also found this on a Ford forum:

It doesn't even look like there is room to get spring compressors hooked on. I should just go for the gold and get some King's...
