Ok, I have a 2015 F150 Screw Larry FX
I did the Fox 2.0's in the rear and love 'em.
I'm totally sick of the crappy handling in this truck(car!). I just rented a Chevy Silverado and I can tell you THE RIDE BLOWS AWAY THE F150!


I have to make my mind up b/w the 2.0 and 2.5s fronts. I want max handling and don't care about a stiffer/rougher/noisier ride. It's a truck isn't it? I prolly never go off road, but do a few miles on groomed dirt roads.

I have the 2.0 in the rear and 2.5 up front. I love them. No body roll at all and they feel great on big dips. I still have a pretty rough ride on sharp bumps but I think that is my e rated tires or possibly needing a uniball upper control arm.

+1 on that. I put the 2.0 in the rears a couple weeks ago and it dramatically reduced the squirrely rear end and wheel hop. Made the ride a bit rougher, but much more planted! I feel safer driving on rough pavement at higher speeds now.
I imagine the 2.0 fronts would also help a fair bit.

My only question are the fronts rebuildable? It kind of stinks the rears aren't but at least they are much easier to replace if I have to make a warranty claim.

I'm really leaning 2.5. I KNOW it's expensive, but I also know myself. I'll be pissed if it's just OK.

With the Fox 2.5 with the DSC adjuster, can you make it as soft as people report the Bilstein 6112 are?

Did you just raise(adjust) the coil from the fox 2.5 coil over to get that height? I want to purchase these but want close to a 3inch lift.

To get what height? You can adjust to get close to 3". It will be a pain in the butt if you get the 2.0 as you have to take them off to adjust. The 2.5s can be adjusted on the truck. Just need to get the wheels off the ground to make it a little easier.
