Question for 4th Gen Fox Box Users

[troutspinner]

I understand that if you use the correct sized spacer under your seat that you can unhook the back portion to fold down as it creates enough clearance. So my question is, are you able to do this with the 5/8" spacers you received from Fox?

Thanks,

That's interesting. I never cared to do so, so I blocked out any mention of it on other posts. I think I read something about flipping the piece that it hooks to on the wall. I may have also seen something about grinding the hook down. To answer your question, I can't with 5/8". The bottom of the hook is in line with the bottom clip (for lack of better words). It would make adjusting my amp easier if it did, however I also wouldn't want it falling down every time I lifted the seat

Thanks ramdude. I had read that 3/4" was the sweet spot. Also, 4th gen brackets are welded so no flipping for us.

I did mine i took the 4 spacer they send for the spit rear bench and put the under each side as i have the full bench works like a charm. Ive pull on it trying to make it unlatch to test safety my 350lb couldn't do it

That's interesting guys, i used the supplied 5/8" spacer and i can pull the back part down no problem. However, you have to lift the bottom section up a few inches for the back section to unhook.
But to answer your ?...yes I can...atleast on my 2011 2500

Interesting. I guess I will find out Monday. I have my fingers crossed they send enough for both seats....I didn't specifically state I had a split bench so I most likely won't.

Ill give it a try. It would be nice to be able to get to my amp easily. I have a 2013 Express.

For sure, just checked it. Basically, when i lift the bottom of the seat up, you'll notice the seat back rise up an inch or two...so when the bottom is lifted to about 45 degrees, the seat back is at its highest point and can be folded forward away from the back wall.

Omg! Very cool. It works with my 5/8"spacer. I can actually get to my amps! I think I'll return that stupid extending mirror with handle that I tried to use. It's also motivated me to start on the sound deadener

Just a follow up. Fox did send me 4 spacers with my box and installed them under both seats today. I am able to fold the back down now. Perfect!

I'm pretty jazzed about that as well. I can adjust my amp when I install my new speakers. My day off Friday was denied, so I guess ill have to wait until Saturday, not happy
