    I am wanting to get fox 2.0 coilovers but I can't find any for an 8.5 inch lift, has anybody put a 6 inch strut spacer on top of the 2.0 coilover?

    2.0 shocks are way too small for a truck this size. Minimum should be 2.5.

    It really kind of depends on the amount of money you want to spend. You can find a full coilover that is built for your lift, or you can go the less expensive route and simply use the supplied spacer on the factory strut ( assuming your current lift kit came with one)

    Fox makes a coilover for the BDS 7" lift, and I know for sure it can be cranked to 8" (might be able to crank it to 8.5") or you could leave it at 7" and run a small spacer on it.
