Took the truck back yesterday and they agreed to remove the coil overs and readjust per Fox’s recommendation for a level height. The rep at Fox told me that 8 full turns of the ring is 1 inch.
They will have it realigned too.
Fingers crossed.
It’s 16 full turns while the spring is compressed in a strut machine. If they are scratched I would request new ones because they are designed to me done by hand. If they are for a 5th Gen ram they may not adjust low enough to achieve “0” of a 4th Gen to make the Zone Geometry aces. You want to be a minimum of 3/4” lower in the front but 1” lower in the front looks the best. I’ve set up so many of these it’s muscle memory at this point. The 6” lift has a preload spacer that get factored in the 4” Kit does not.

Hi all,

I got the truck back yesterday and the Fox coil overs were reset to 0 and it sits nice and level. It rides and drives great outside of a little side to side wobble with the pitch in the roads here in Michigan.
I have new sway bar links up front and in the rear. I am going to assume that maybe the lift it's just what it is going to feel like. I will likely get a new rear sway bar to help with this, does anyone have a rear sway bar recommendation?

Thanks for all of the feedback.IMG_2011.jpeg

Replacing rear springs will do way more for sway then a sway bar will. The stock springs are way too soft once you raise the center of gravity and a sway bar can’t really cover that up.

Mrack, would you recommend longer coils for a lift and remove the blocks or just get the stock replacement spring and continue using the rear lift block?

I get this too on the crown of the highway. So are you saying to go hellwig @Quick_Shifter on my 15 with four inch super lift?
Yes hellwig works wonders but @mrack is right a sway bar doesn’t work miracles. Super lift had spacers in rear if I remember right I see them so rarely. A set of +3” coils to replace any spacers would be a bigger upgrade.
On my truck I did core 4x4 upper and lower rear control arms, tracbar and swaybar endlinks. Fill length +5” springs with a hellwig swaybar and it really settled down any rear end nonsense

Get rid of the spacers for sure. You need something a little stiffer then stock to keep the truck stable, really anything other then stock springs should do it.

I replaced the stock coils and spacers with the Superlift +2"inch coils and it rides level just like I like it to. I think the next thing will be a Hellwig rear sway bar because I still get that little wag at 60+ when hitting bumps, its not jumping, it's like wagging slightly back and forth left and right. I have all new rear 5 point system, springs and shocks, so the sway bar is next.
