I'm planning to order the Fox rears once I get the forum code from stage3. Is the problem bad shocks or a light rearend? If they're using the same valving of shocks as the 09-14's or even the 04-08's it's not going to work well with the lighter rear of the 15+'s. At least in my thinking.

Do the Fox 2.0 raise the rear at all?

No sir they do not. Only way to raise the rear is with blocks or leaf springs.

Don't overthink it. They are great! They are the same valving as previous years, But works like a charm. I can't imagine going back. Not saying there aren't other options, but fox is a good one. You will want the front after you install.

Sorry if that's a confusing reply. I was meaning Ford. Haha. I'm already wondering if I want rancho quicklifts or fox front coilovers. I'm planning a lift kit after the warranty runs out and then get full fox coils for the lift.

Back in august Stage 3 was mistakenly selling the 2wd Bilstein 5100 for the 4wd F150, I bought a set, when I removed one of the Ford OEM shocks compared the resistance to the bilstein, the OEM shock had almost nothing in comparison. Think Ford went overboard trying to improve the ride.

Haven't had the ranchos but the fox coilovers provide a great street ride for sure
