The ride is unreal. Greatly improved handling over the stock and my old (6 month) crap Rancho QL's. Extremely smooth too.

I'm thinking I'm sold, but I was really looking to put a 34" tire on stock wheels.
Seems most have said you need a 2.5" lift for the 34's to fit. As I understand the Fox's are 2". Guess my question is has anybody put the 275/65R20's on a truck w/the Fox's?

When I get mine installed I'm going to try either 275/65R20 or 295/60R20 but it will be with aftermarket +20 offset wheels.

You'll easily clear 275/65/20s with 2" on stock wheels. When you reduce offset you'll have more issues, but the stock wheels will be just fine.

Whoever told you that is wrong! I ran rancho quicklifts on my old 2011 which sagged to under 2" of lift, I ran 295/60/20's no problem.

Will a universal coilover wrench work with the Fox coilovers? Has anyone run them at stock position?

No one guy said you must run 2.5" of lift to run a 34" tire on stock rims ..... After reading a ton of threads it looked like the general rule was a 2.5" lift (either a spacer or coil over) was needed to properly fit a 34" tire.

After reading more on the stage3 motorsports page it looks like these Fox 2.0 coilovers (the 2.0 which refers to the diameter of the valve body) provide an adjustable 0-2.0" of lift.

Like I said, I ran 295/60R20 tires with a 2" lift and no clearance issues whatsoever. [MENTION=64411]NASSTY[/MENTION], [MENTION=149708]Nevint[/MENTION], [MENTION=173391]il_duce[/MENTION] and many others run the same setup with no issues as well.

This is right, lots of people run 295/60R20 with no clearance issues or at most just a little bit of trimming to some pretty much useless plastic.
