I know the spring rates from Fox direct and Fox/Ford kits are different. I bought the Fox/Ford 2.0 leveling kit and was wondering what the actual pre-set height was. So I called both Fox and Ford Performance with zero help or answers so here I am, hoping someone has experience and might be able to answer and some pics of theirs. Also, if I were to adjust my coilovers, Fox has made it very difficult to do so. I find it hard to believe both companies are unable to answer a question about a $1500.00 kit they developed :angry:

See my recent post on Fox 2.0 - How much did it lift. On my 2wd it was basically too much and would top out harshly. That was with the collars at 48mm from the bottom of the threads. I lowered them to 35mm it has made a difference in ride quality and stopped the harsh top out. Also, that was on the Ford Performance Fox kit.

Only added the Ford/Fox 2.0 Leveling Kit. Everything else is stock.
They appear to be black crinkle powder coat on them, every other picture I've seen here that are just aluminum color like mine.

Those are definetly cast steel and hollow. Look closely at the pictures. You can see the rust. I wonder why Ford changed the material. I wonder what else has changed.

Hey can someone verify that I'm looking at an aluminum knuckle/spindle? Obviously a newbie to working on my own stuff and want to make sure before I try to fit some new UCA's on.

Thanks!

Yes it looks like an aluminum one. They went over to the cast steel ones late 2020. My build is 11/20 and I have steel. What year/build is yours? That’s how you can tell for sure

Thanks, finally went and found the build date of 03/20. Reading all the posts it seemed a lot of the 20's were steel so I started trying to figure it out, I guess I was early enough to get the Aluminum, which is good since I didn't see the note about the change in spindles until after I ordered the Fox stage 2 kit :facepalm:

Pretty sure the change over happened mid year 2020. You lucked out!
I can change over my steel for aluminum ones for $250 for the pair but I better have new UCA if I do decide to go that route later myself.
