Stage3 said that Fox didn’t change (revalve) the 2.0s for the 15+ aluminum body which is 500lbs lighter than the previous gen. I’m guessing that’s why they ride so stiff?

Did you get new UCAs with that Eibach lift or are you running stock UCAs? Any coil bucket contact? How do the angles look?

Figured this was the best place to ask. I have a 2018 that I installed the Fox 2.0 coilovers up front and the matching 2.0s in the rear with factory gen2 Raptor wheels and tires at 38 psi. I love the stance and the look but it rides like absolute trash. I went with the coil overs because of how positively reviewed they were, and i was expecting a little stiffer ride, but I honestly hate how the truck rides. They are harsh, I am talking sports car stiff, jarring ride. I wasnt expecting Raptor level ride quality but I need something better since its my only vehicle and will mostly see pavement outside of some camping trips and fishing. Should I give it more time to settle in or would the 5100s on the top setting be better? or should i save up and grab some adjustable 2.5s?

Looking for a reputable shop in the Sacramento area to install my 5100s . Had a shop lined up but the veteran technician just left the shop and I don't want the newbie touching my new ride. Dealer quoted $795 for fronts only with alignment Thanks!!

Cant help you with a shop but that's an expensive quote from the dealer (not surprising). I had a local shop quote $330 for install and $89 for alignment

2” motofab leveling kit with 285/65/18 on 18x9, +1 offset fuels. I’ll probably run this setup till the tires are gone, since I already had these from my last truck. I’ll be stepping up to a 34” more than likely. Measurements are 39 3/4” front and back.

Hey All,
My son and I need some advice on this leveling thing.
Briefly, I have a '17 King Ranch SCrew with 20" factory chrome rims with 275/55/20's (I believe) And I really like these rims.
I was sort of able to hand down my '13 XLT SCrew to my 20 year old son with 275/65/18's.
Some unfortunate circumstances allowed this to happen....I really don't have a bunch of ching or bragging.
His truck is tan.....mine the White Gold so both sort of tan colored and similar, tinted windows on both etc.
He told me he really likes the look of the leveled trucks with a size or two bigger tires, and honestly so do I.
He said we should build our trucks but yet keep them similar...tires and levelled. AND as a Dad that is a cool request from a son...to me it is anyway.
Now here is where I get lost....what would a good BFG KO2....
Seems like we have basically 32" tall x 10.8" wide tires.
What sizes would work with 2" levelled trucks with these stock rims sizes? Without UCA or trimming etc. Just levelled with Bilstein 5100 shocks set at 2+"
Could we go to a 34" ballpark like 285/70/18(33..7") on his and a 275/65/20 (34.1") for me?

Love the look of your truck. The stance couldn't be better. I just purchased a 2018 Lariet Sport in Oxford white. I had Fuel Kranks on my last Tundra and received many complements on them. Thanks for the visual for my F-150.
