Avoid Fox 2.0 Coil-overs

OP's mechanical skills have nothing to do with this situation. Seems to be some misinformation out there.

I know articulation doesn't equate to a better ride, I meant dropping almost a grand for just a better ride with no other benefit other than a 1/2-2 inch level. Of course this is all just my personal opinion. Not hating on anyone who buys the Fox 2.0 kit.
Articulation was the wrong choice of word. What I meant was bottoming out when you have the coilover set at 2" Don't you lose some travel when you max the coilover out or am I wrong?

I assume you would need like a 30mm offset to prevent rubbing on the crash bars? 20mm isn't that extreme.

I had the Oem Platinum 20 inch wheels with these tires and lift and they did not rub. Those were 44mm offset. Not sure what off set you would need not rub. I only notice the rub in reverse, at close to full lock. I would probably just go with a 305 55 20 tire instead.

This may depend on the wheel offset. I have 275/65/20 Toyo Open Country's (actual height is 33.5 inch) . Wheels are Fuel Coupler 20x9 with 22mm offset. They rub on the crash bar and I have a 2.5 inch coil spacer installed. You should be able to see the tire size in the pic.

Without any type of preset measurement check for 2" like number of threads from bottom or xx inches to collar, you have to put all your faith in the manufacturer. I'd be pissed to if I spent all day installing and had to remove. No excuse for Fox not to have a preset check procedure for the installer. Couldn't be that hard. Bilstein 5100s look to be the same in that you would have to pull the shock to adjust?

Usually the restrictions are either to not exceed a 24 hour period outside or doing it inside a covered garage with the doors close in the case of some HOA's.
Some places just do not want your never ending project car up on blocks in the driveway or running a quasi side repair business out of your house.

I have had my Fox 2.0 coils for about 15k miles now. They came outta the box with roughly 2" of lift (I run 35" BFG KO2s). No complaints other than the annoying squeak. Honestly can't say much of the ride vs. stock because I didn't have my stocks on long. However I like the ride of my Fox's. I have done some limited off roading and they were fine. Overall I am happy but they squeak is annoying if you're low speed and windows down.
I'll say I bought the Fox coils because Ford selected Fox for the Raptor. And yes I am aware that this is a totally different coil.
