BDS is Garbage

How long have you had your Fox Coilovers? Happy with them? Have you had to rebuild them?

 

I've had them for several years and no I've not rebuilt them. They could probably stand to be gone through but I've honestly not felt a difference in handling so I've put it off. Love them, but I only had OEM before these were put on so I really have no anecdotal evidence to base a solid comparison.

 

Update on the RC knuckles, still problem free.. Zero wheel scrub.
Friendly reminder, BDS SUCKS

 

Well fml!!!!!! This is by far most helpful thread I’ve seen ever. I sure hope all you members are still around on here. PLEASE HELP!

I have same issue since 2011, pro comp stage 2, 6-7” lift . Tire scrub since new no fix. I recently sold my 23 pro to keep my preferred 2011 and freshen it up. So I purchased @Coachbuilder1 tie rods and rach bushings. Icon billet uppers, icon 6-7” CDCV coil over, oem lower controls, and 8 alignments later from 3 highly recommended shops and BOOM as excessive of tire scub as ever. So no fix, waste of big $$$$$$$ and the said tie rods to fix the exact issue did nothing. No new tires for me till something gets fixed and my wallet stops being drained.

My question is this. Will the RC steering knuckles (what part #) correct this? Will the RC knuckles work on my pro comp lift with icon coil overs ? Do I scrap the $700CA coach tie rods and go simple OEM as stated by you all ? But reverse sides ?
And info or guidance is appreciated more than you all know . thanks

 

PM Headed your way, I'd love to help.

 

I'd ask your local shop whether or not they will work. I know the Rough country knuckles that I had installed, my mechanic said that they worked on the 4" & 6" Rough country lifts.. It's the same part number. So we went with it and took a chance, an expensive chance around 1500 ish CAD installed. But My truck is finally fixed after years of endless grief. If your lift is 6", my guess is that they will work just fine and use the OEM tie rods, just reversed. Right goes on left and vice versa.

 

I have them on order now. Priced out at $880 for the pair of rough county knuckles. It seems like they are good between diff lift brands unless required run brand specific tie rods. I know icon shows diff coil overs for each lift but they attach to factory parts so other then length they also should work in diff lift brands.

 

Just hit 5K miles after the Rough Country knuckle swap and all is well. Tires are wearing evenly and zero tire scrub on even the tightest of turns.

BDS IS Garbage!

 

How did this go? I’ve also got a 6” Pro comp lift. If you’ve got any updates it would be appreciated.

 

I'm 10 months in now with the Rough Country knuckles... Aprox 15k miles on it and it's perfect. Not a single issue, wheel scrub is 100% eliminated and no improper tire wear.

Friendly reminder that BDS is Trash for anyone considering buying their lift.

 

New guy here. 2018 7"BDS lift with the same issues and maybe more. RC spindles still holding up? What year is your truck?

 

Yep, All is well with my RC spindle swap. I'm in a 2020 Crew-max 4x4

 

Just ordered mine. Were you having issues with the tie rods hitting the springs as well?
