Fox leveling coil overs

[badkelly]

So I've want to level my truck again and put a set of 33's on and I seen the fox leveling coil overs but they are expensive are they worth the money or should I go with the bilstein leveling shocks?

Fox are awesome. You pay for them. Bilstein's are great and much less expensive.

I love Fox shocks, loved them on the Jeep but there is no way Id pay that amount for a leveling shock. If I were doing some serious off roading then ok but if this is primarily street driven go Bils or even ProComp which I have and very impressed with but I like a stiffer ride.

Well I use my truck quite a bit on the farm in the field an a nice smoother ride would help and I use it for hunting I probably drive more gravel and dirt roads the pavement

If I had known about the Fox co's when I did mine almost 3 years ago I would have got them. That said, I really love my Bilsteins. Either way you win.

Coilovers are a much better option, even with road driving. Far superior to struts.

Anyway, I'm personally going with a full Icon Vehicle Dynamics kit. They have just a front coilover package, which are ride height adjustable from 0-3" that includes the proper sway bar relocation. The Fox OEM replacements just don't look as beefy.

I'd say that's a much better option you're getting more for the money.. that was my point. I love Fox products but those are expensive I'd rather just get an actual full suspension lift

I just got my Zone UCAs and am putting the Fox coil overs and matching shocks on. Found them for 950 online. The Icon stage one is 1600. I had a hard time justifying that, let alone another 650.

To me, the lift is secondary.

Mostly its for the dual rate rear springs, piggy back 2.5" rear shocks, front coils and tubular UCAs. Better all around no matter what condition.

The Icon kit isn't exactly cheap either.

I believe the 2.5's are rebuildable as well.

I need to call Fox and find out how much a replacement shock for the coilovers are. I drive 60000 a year, and dont want to spend 720 again in a year and a half. I just assembled they were rebuildable.

 

[turnleftandgasit]

Fox shocks and coilovers are ordered. The 2.0 are rebuildable.

 

[turnleftandgasit]

Arms and foxes are in the garage. Which way should I achieve my level? The UCA lift has a 2" spacer and the foxes go to 2.........which should I use? 6 of 1, half dozen of another?

 

[h2oman]

Use the Fox's. Don't use the spacers. The co's will reduce cv angles. Spacers will increase them.

 

[turnleftandgasit]

Waiting on back ordered spanner wrench for the coil overs. I am also installing Zone UCA's with the coilovers set at 2 inches. Pictures of before, during and after will be posted.

FOX SHOCKS=AWESOME!!!

Don't put cheap stuff on your 20k+ Truck

Today is the day

UCA, Fox 2.0 coilovers and matching 2.0 rear shocks, powerstop truck and tow (z36) brakes all around, tranny service.

Truck has 87xxx on it now. Gonna get 10000 miles out of the current tires (take offs from a 13) and then going 275/65/20 Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar Pro-Grade. I drive a lot of miles, and haul a lot of wood.

 

[h2oman]

They look badass dude.
