Hey guys, I just ordered fox 2.0 coilovers for my 2011 1500. Might be a stupid question, but should a guy be getting an alignment done after installing these? I'm just doing the front for now and likely the rears closer to Christmas.

Yes. Anything that's adjust the front end needs an alignment.

I know its an old post, but how have the Fox 2.0's treated you?
If you're thinking to spend the money, for about $200 more per coilover you can get Icon 2.5, You can't adjust the Fox 2.0 coilovers past 2" as she'll drive like chit, not counting you need to compress the spring on those CO's to adjust them. Once you put the weight of the truck on them for a little while it's only a matter of time before you'll want to crank them up. Those Fox 2.0's are the only CO's in the market you can't really adjust the easy way (take the wheel off, jack up that side and depending of what you have cranck up/down) so you have to take them off the truck to get them up/down, and in their case you can only go down, lol

I agree with all you said, but that extra $$ adds up. Shock surplus has Fox 2.0s, front & rear, for $1,159.34. Shock surplus has Icon stage 1 for $1,619.85. Difference of $460.51. With my OCD - I'd have to get Icon UCA's, if going with Icon coilovers & shocks, which are $300-$400 more than Zones(which I'd use with Fox 2.0s). So, looking at all up pricing - it's a difference of around $800 between a Zone/Fox 2.0 combo & Icon. Also, Fox 2.0 seems like they may provide a softer street ride than Icon based on reviews. If only Fox 2.0s were more easily adjustable and could comfortably give 2.5" lift or so like other coilovers....
