Thank you for the info. I'm new to this stuff forum and posting slowing getting it figured out. I did notice you said 10 speed my 3.5 is the 2016 generation with the 6 speed.
I'll start a thread myself with my build. I don't want to hijack this one I was wanting to post my pictures of what it looked like after my mods. Thanks again for the info Apples.
Finally got to get it out in the dirt...loaded down with camping and shooting gear for the weekend...rode awesome, didn't hit any big g-outs or whoops, but it was comfortable and confidence inspiring, no rubbing anywhere.
I had this happen driver side the seal at the end popped out. It was sliding up and down the shaft i could not get it back in place to stay it did not look like any fluid came out but i called the retailer i purchased this kit from and Bilstien was wanting pictures so i took some and sent retailer said bilstein giving them fits. I ended up getting the FOX 2.0 and sent the bilstein back and let them deal with bilsteins ****. They refunded me the cost of the Fox on my original order for the Bilsteins. I had a dealership install these so it was done correctly and i did have them set at the top highest ring. When my dealership removed to replace with Fox he noticed that the one that the dust cover came off off started to pour out fluid. and the other he said the cover just popped out. Either way i think it was a manufacture defect or just bad design on the dust seal being pressed in rather than threaded. Best of luck to those that have Bilstein im liking the fox damn near the same feel and ride. We will see.

how is the ride off-road with the billsteins how comfortable are you going at the higher rate of speeds I have ordered icon coil overs but I’m wondering if I can save some money and be plenty happy with the billsteins

Haven't really tried to push it ... it doesn't have any more travel than stock per se...it's not wider...just leveled for more clearance. That being said it drives great and is comfortable enough...I will save the fast stuff for my Bronco

If you are already having some buyers remorse about the cost, return them.
With that said, if you plan on off roading a lot, the better shocks are nearly always worth it. It's one thing that I can say the more I've spent on suspension, the better the suspension has always been. My rzr, truck, motorcycle all have had improvements everytime.
Just bought a 2020 Super Crew 4x4 with off road package, changed to 17" Methods with 33" Nitto tires, put a spacer on the top of the stock front coil overs, seems to made the ride a bit stiffer (I don't care for it as the truck seldom sees the dirt) I have a set of Raptor take offs with 10,000 miles on them, I am told the front coil overs will fit with a bit of clearanceing on the top a arm, has any one done this? if so how did it effect the ride? If they are too stiff I could send down to Fox and change the valving.
Every vehicle I top spacer on screwed the ride, but I can't stand the nose down look.
Appreciate any thoughts, really don't care to lift it, don't need to make so I can run threw 3 foot whoops, just want it to look and ride good.
