Fox 2.5 Leveling

Hi all, I’m new to the forum here and am just starting to do some mods to my 2016 Double Cab. First on the list is leveling out the front. Right now the truck is totally stock and I took measurements to see how much lean the truck may have and it’s only 1/4” difference on the rears and 3/8” difference on the front. My question is, if I add 0-2” Fox 2.5 coils on the front to level it out do you think I should add a 1/4 shim to the drivers side coil and would that 3/8” difference I have now grow with the addition of the Fox 2.5’s?

 

You wont know what the new lean is since you would be changing springs.

If it still leans, make it easy and turn down the high side

 

I just didn’t want to change the spring rate by adding more preload to the drivers side

 

Im saying if it leans, you can Lower the pass side to match drivers

 

^^^ Running Fox 2.5/s w/Ext Resi's and before I installed them I turned the pass side down 3/16" to combat a 3/8" factory lean. End result is ~1/8" lean and no noticeable change in ride between pass and drivers side. BTW the FOX 2.5's will get you right at 3-3.5" of lift outta the box...and they settled about 1/4".

 

Isn’t it better for a little more preload than adding a shim? The stock setup has extra preload in the drivers side out of the factory to compensate for the lean.

I got 4" out of the box with fox res

 

U bring them down to 3 or did they settle ?

 

I turned my fox resi’s almost all the way down added a shim on each side and it rides like butter...I got 4” out of box or more without the shim.

 

Won’t settle to much with a 700lb spring unless u have some armor on. I don’t think I’ve moved even a 1/4 and it’s been three years on mine

 

I'm going to bring my down as far as I can this weekend.

 

Do

Do the fox 2.5 resi's come with 700 lb springs? The fox site does not specify this. I plan on buying the 0-3" 2.5 resi's and would be even more inclined to buy if they are 700.

 

Yah they are 700

 

Yep 700. You can buy different rates I believe but just off the shelf they will come with 700.

 

Took off preload load this weekend. Maxed out the passenger side and left 4 thread's on the driver. I'm at 3.75" on the pass and 3.5" driver.

 

Wow that’s crazy they told me if you have them at 8 threads you should be at 3.0 from the factory lol

Fingers crossed for yah buddy
