Fox 2.0 max height adjustment measurment

[ReigleCM]

I am looking to raise the front on the truck; I've got the Fox 2.0 kit and am planning to take them off to raise them up a bit.

I put them on the way they came from Stage3 and was never really happy with how much lift I got out of them. I think I got about 1.5 inches. I'd like to be close to the max of 3 inches.

Which way should I be moving the collar? Up or down to gain height? Anyone that has raised their for max lift care to measure the shock for me so I can set mine properly? I've emailed Fox but no response yet.

You would need to move the collar up towards the top, however be advised that the ride is going to suffer quite a bit if you max them out. At that height, you won't get any, or very little, droop travel

well dang, that’s what I was afraid of. Guess I’ll bite the bullet and just get some 2.5s

Those won't do it either unfortunately, they're rated for the same amount of lift. You might need to look into some BDS stuff

I have the same setup plus 285/70 R17 KO2's. It's all good. Is there a particular problem you're to address?

I'm using superlift 3.5 kit along with Fox 2.0 to fit 295/70/R17. I'm going to Eibach next, they published 3.75 max lift. What size tires are you planning to use?

The Fox 2.5s have 4 inches of travel, so more than the 2.0, so when the height is adjusted to around 2.5 -3 inches, I will have more travel and a better ride than if I was to do the same with the 2.0s. Ride quality is hella important to me as we take this rig from Alaska to Central America every year, so I'm just gonna have to dish out for the nicer front coil overs.

I added OME leafs to the rear and now it sits at least 2 inches higher than the front, just trying to get a little more lift from the Fox 2.0s as I only got about 1.5 out of them as they were set from the factory.

If you look at the product pages on Fox's site, the 2.0's actually are listed as 4.390" of travel, and the 2.5's are at 3.970... so jacking up the 2.5's isn't going to solve your issue either.

Very interesting, my google search failed me, must have been the 2.0 for another Vehicle fitment I read. Welp back to the drawing board.

Remember to consider your cv angle. Also, I'd load up the truck with everything you're gonna carry before making that decision. See what kinda sag you get.
