After driving some washboard roads this weekend and floating all over. Its time for an upgragd!!
i want to do a coilover kit with rear shocks. I would also like it to be raised between 2 and 2 1/2 inches (leveled)
i am new to 4x4 and would like some suggestions opinions pros cons experiences etc. with some different kits.
I was looking at:
the newer eibach pro truck couloivers (adjustable to 2 1/2)
the bilstein 6112 stage 2
Fox 2.0 stage 1
rough country???
i have a 2019 stx sport super crew 2.7. It is my daily driver and would be mild off road on weekends. No rock crawling or anything advanced. ANY info or opinions would be very much appreciated.

 

I’m a little more like extreme, I have the 2.5 Fox factory race series love them!

 

See sig for truck specs. I’m running the Fox 2.0 setup, coilovers and rear shocks. I’m sitting dead level with coilovers set at factory setting. They are amazing over sock. I recently spent some time in West Texas running dirt / gravel roads with lots of washboards and ruts. The truck handled the roads like we were on the highway. The faster I went, the better the ride. My nephew was with me, he was amazed at how the truck rode. He said, verbatim, the roads we are on eat up vehicles around here, and this truck is just so smooth! This guy drives his work truck everywhere (2018 F250) and was amazed at how my truck drove.

My off-roading consists of dirt/gravel Texas roads and Forrest service roads, BLM areas, snow packed trails when we go up to Colorado a few times a year.

My experience is that I love this setup, but am now kicking myself for not going for the Fox 2.5 with DSC like I wanted to from the beginning. I’m considering selling off the 2.0 setup so I upgrade to the 2.5’s with DSC

 

I've got the King 2.5 shocks all around and they are amazing on washboard roads, they are also incredible on potholes and any dirt road traveling. They are also fantastic on the pavement. The fastest I've gone on a dirt road with small washboards and pot holes was about 75 mph.
I'm sure any of your other options will make a significant improvement over the stock ride, but you might look into Kings if you haven't already.

 

i have personally used the Halo lifts 2.0 adjustable coilovers and their shocks in the rear as well as the bilstein 6112's and 5100 rear and stock springs with a spacer. If I had the dough to spend I would go with the king coilovers from filthymotorsports due to them allowing a custom build with the spring rate and tune that you want. If not king, I would go with the halo lifts aluma 2.0 kit. I also have BDS upper control arms to help with caster on my current setup. Good luck!

 

Sounds like you use your truck/s like myself, 2 tracks/logging roads, etc., no heavy offroading, or, God forbid, mud.
I'm using the Rancho Quicklift loaded right now, IMO, they're entry level, but have had the same pair on two trucks. Gave me 2.5" of lift. Fox 2.0 shocks on the back, works well for now. Good bang for the $$.
I plan on going to at least Fox coilovers, when these die, or just because.
I also had the olde "F150Lifts" coilovers, and their shocks on the rear of a '12 I had. The rears, I didn't think were that great, but the coilovers worked well. They've since changed their name to "HaloLifts".
Cost not withstanding, it's a toss up as to the Fox, or HaloLifts. Regardless, I'd keep the Fox 2.0's on the rear.

 

the fox coilovers have to be removed from your truck to adjust, the halos do not. Thats why I went with them. It was the deciding factor for me.

 

Well, looks like the Halos then, I didn't catch that with the Fox. Thanks.

 

I’d get Fox 2.0 at a min...i thought about trying the new eibachs (the complete coil over) but for the same price I picked up the Fox since I knew I’d like them. I don’t routinely adjust my truck up and down (especially since it would need an alignment every time) so assumed if I did want to adjust the fox, they come out in less than an hour.

 

I went with the full Bilstein kit. No regrets. Handles great off road and really settled down my trailer on the highway. No more bouncing at all. Just floats over stuff.
Did the install alone in the driveway with basic hand tools and some heavy duty spring compressors. Took a full afternoon but I banged it out. Added a 1.5" block to rear axle to keep the factory rake so it sits level with the trailer and a bed full of gear.
