Default 2015 Coilover options

Hello recently picked up my 2016 Screw and am enjoying it. I came from a 2010 Raptor. I am looking to do some nice coilovers Fox or Icon something along those lines.

Looking for advise on my best option to run 35" tires on 17" rims with out doing a 6" lift. I just want a more aggressive taller look but still have the performance to back the look up.

Thanks

Go look through my pics and it will answer a few questions u may have. I love my Fox 2.5. I also came from a raptor and they aren't street plush like the raptor, But way better off-road.

I currently have the fox 2.5's as well because I have the 6" BDS lift kit on my truck. I'm very happy with them. They are very firm out of the box though but after about a 1000 miles on them they break in and just continue to get smoother from then on out. If you get the DSC you can adjust the compression levels to how you like. If your worried about height though you might look into the king coilovers. You can adjust them for 3" of lift in the front. Get you some uniball control arms and a little bigger block in the rear and gain a little more height all the way around the truck. Either way... Between fox, icon, and king you really can't go wrong. All 3 are fantastic choices.

With the Fox or Icon coil over kits, do you have to worry about the same possible issues as you would with a leveling kit? Camber adjustments, ball joint wear?

Very nice truck! Congrats!

We can definitely get you taken care of!

Are you a 2wd or 4wd?

You can definitely add a set of King 2.5's but you will need to do a lot of trimming to fit 35's.

Here is a picture of our customers 2015 F150 2WD with our Upper arm and 4" lift spindle running 17" wheels and 35" tires. We had to still do some trimming too.




He is going to be adding Coilovers very soon.

305/70/17 is also a 33" tire. You will not rub on a 33's tire with any leveling kit.

OP asked for 35's.

But nice truck!
