Anyone able to comment on how these shocks hold up in say a Canadian winter? Think Newfoundland so a fair amount of salt and extreme cold? I want to replace the stock garbage shocks and level to clear my 275/65/r20 better the same time but need something that won't respond badly to extreme weather conditions. (Think -25 degrees Celsius) Thanks!

I would think they will hold up better than many others as they are an Aluminum body shock which doesn't rust .... Your truck will handle better with the help of the 650lb eibach coil springs ... all the less expensive set ups use the oem coil springs that IMO are to soft .... If your worried about the shock bodies throw a coat of Shark- Hyde metal protectant on them for good measure like I did ... Stage 3 Motorsports has the best price on them right now .....
Thats good to know, after doing some digging I seen that apparently they are hard on rubber bushings? Not sure what truth there is to this though. I may just do spacers for the time being, but I would rather just get the Coilovers/Shocks and blocks up front as I know I am going to do it either way.

I'm wondering this as well. We get temps close to that and lots of road salt here in Pennsylvania. I'm thinking I might have my rear foxes vinyl clear wrapped or clear coated as the salt madey bilsteins look terrible.
Not sure if I posted in here or not, but fox 2.0s added to an rcx 6" lift. Handling is night and day difference. Less body roll and these really shine in wash outs and square edge bumps. I'm running a deaver mini pack in the rear. Honestly it's worth every penny to upgrade the rear of the truck. It doesn't try to walk out on harsh bumps and soaks up a lot more with the upgraded mini pack. Not that a I regret going with the mini, but I can only imagine how much better the full leaf pack is.

A few questions. How do you change the height? is it with the spanner wrench, and is it set at 2 inches from factory?
I am reading all the posts but only on page 13 so far. I may be already covered.
It's set at +2" from the factory. You'll need a spanner wrench to adjust. I bought one from eBay that accepted a 3/8 ratchet and it made it much easier to adjust than by hand.

Did you crank the coilovers down from the 2" setting?
