Fox 2.0 coil overs installed in 2 wheel drive truck!

[Desertranger19]

So it’s definitely do able and they bolt right in without any issues whatsoever on our 2 wheel drive Rangers. I will be posting pictures of the stance later on today since I just installed it myself last night and it was about 9 pm when I was done. Took me about 2 hours to do myself with a jack and jackstands. That includes my self alignment on the ground to set my toe by using a measuring tape but will get it professionally aligned on Monday.
Since I was so excited to get it installed, I forgot to take before measurements of the fender height. But, after installing them and short drive, I’m at 38.25 inches up front and 39.5 inches in rear. From center fender down to floor. So I’m happy with that.

Ok before pic and after pics attached
I tried to take picture in same spot so hopefully it’s a good reference point.
But I’m pretty sure it looks like 2.5-2.75 inches of lift

Looks good, do you have any side profile shots with the wheel spacers? which version are the spacers 1.0 or 1.5?

Looks good. Did you leave the Fox coilovers at stock height or did you adjust them taller? If I recall, they come at 2.5" but can be adjusted to 3"?

Looks good. Did you end up lowering the spring perch prior to install afterall?

I will post side shots later. I’m putting an exhaust on currently.
I went with the 1” spacer from stage3motorsports.
I installed the springs are factory setting how I received them. I thought it over and figured I would try that first before I messed with them. The control arm is nice and straight and the ball joint is not flexed whatsoever so that’s good. Plus the drop down seemed to almost increase travel by 2 inches ??

Looks good. What size tires are you running? KO2s?

My 19 came from the dealer with fox shocks installed. 31 miles on it when I got it. Im guessing someone ordered it that way? Then didnt end up buying it.

It was most likely modified by the dealer themselves and sold it that way to make it more appealing to buyers

Nice job. So what's the verdict on ride and handling quality? Do the Fox have increased damping over the original shocks? Is it a firmer ride, softer? Thanks.

Im still waiting to get my rear shocks delivered, which should be here monday based on the tracking info, but driving around so far with the front installed only, it really is a much better ride. Any abnormality on the road, the suspension just feels so sturdy and just soaks it up so easily. No bouncing around anymore, it takes the "obstacle" and levels right back up ready for the next one. I dont know if that makes sense, but the suspension is definitely worth it instead of using spacers only. Its stiffer on road but feels "plush" over bad road.

Just had the Fox 2.0 coil overs installed today, I dropped the spring perches 0.6” from the provided location. This resulted in an average of 1.7” lift on the front for my 2WD XLT Supercab. I also installed Fox 2.5 rear shocks because I wanted some tuning capability in the back. The truck is very stable now!

Quick question, but does the 265/70 clear the control arm without the spacer?

yes, no rubbing at all. I wanted to push the wheels/tires out tho for a slightly more aggressive stance is all
