Fox 2.5 res Suspension Options

Fellow Tundra Owners:


I am going to be purchasing Fox 2.5 res shocks in the near future for my 2017 Tundra, and would like to gain some insight based on which course of action I should take:

Option A) Purchase Fox 2.5 shock with 0-2 in lift: I am looking at this option if I am planning to keep stock tire size. I wouldn’t have to get a UCA. I do like this option because I get to keep the stock rake.

Option B) Purchase Fox shock with 2-3 in lift: I am looking at this option if I plan go up one tire size (275/70/18). This option would require a new UCA. Sure, this option leads to more fun from modification, but is more is more expensive. If selecting this option, I plan to get a AT tire that is not too aggressive.

Questions:

1)If I do choose option B, is there a way to keep the same rake after the front is lifted probably around 2”? If so, will reestablishing the stock rake impact the functionality of the front shocks?

2)UCA- Will an aftermarket UCA be able to meet or surpass OEM functionality? Is there a need to adjust the LCA due to getting a new UCA?

3)Tire size: Do the advantages going from 32” to a 33” out weight the loss of mpg, etc?

Please feel free to add any additional info that may add to my decision making. I am trying to learn. Thank you very much!!
