Default Fox 2.5 Factory Upgrades

Hey there, I'm on rough Forestry/Oil Patch backroads pretty much all day. I was wondering if this was a good way to go should the day come that I get tired of stock shocks. Especially for the front end.
I can't seem to find too much info from people running these or people in the "know"
Can anyone shed some light on quality upgrades to suspension without going beyond 2-3inch leveling kits for 4wd 2013 FX4?

Check out all of the following options:

King 2.5"
Fox 2.5"
Icon 2.5"

If you arent wanting to spend $2000+ on shocks:

Fox 2.0"


Also look into Icon/Camburg Upper Control Arm's to go with the shocks.

Search around on the forums (esp in the 2009-2013 section) and you will see lots of info for all options.

For replacement shocks you cant go wrong with a set of 5100's. They will give you a better ride offroad then the stockers for sure.

If you really want to step it up, a set of FOX, King or ICON coilovers will greatly improve the handling and ride on&off road.

Feel free to give me a call at 702.979.1577 or email me at chas@tapautoparts.com and we can discuss!!

Do the Fox products offer the same height adjustment (leveling) that the 5100's do?

Just don't put the 5100 on the top setting and run them hard off roading, lots of failures. If youa re going to spend the money for an upgraded suspension spend the money right, CA's and truely upgraded shocks.

Fox Coilovers 0-2" of lift and adjustable with a spanner wrench





or the Icon Vehicle Dynamics 0-3" (3" must use an aftermarket UCA)
