Help with lift
#21
which is why I was wondering if I could leave the fox 2.0 set at 2inches and then use a 2inch puck versus turning them down to zero with the 4inch puck (I'm assuming) that would be with the bds 4inch kit. Another person posted from stage 3 motorsports site that they recommend not running coilovers with spacers but I've also read plenty of threads with guys turning the fox 2.0 to the lowest setting and using the spacers. So I just trying to do all my homework to make the best decision and see if i can retain my original purchase.

Just want to make sure I understand so we're all on the same page... Are you using the BDS 6" lift coilovers? If so, you have a 6" lift. The only difference between the 4" lift and the 6" lift is the length of the coilover. The rest of the kit is the same. The BDS 4" and 6" kit share the same diff drop / brackets, etc. (it's a 5" diff drop for both kits). The 4" kit just runs 1" below the diff drop, while the 6" kit runs 1" over the diff drop. They do that so they can just create one kit (diff drop) for both size lifts, and the lift amount in inches is determined by what size coilovers you put on.

I bought the 4" BDS kit. I emailed BDS about adding Fox shocks. They replied informing me, that the Fox coilovers and shocks they sell with their 6" lift can be used on the 4" lift, but you had lower down the front coils 3/4" from their setting. Boom !! Done. That's it! I estimate, with lift and 35" tires she sits at about 6'10". so you can get into your 7 foot garage.. Try emailing BDS.. It's pretty straight forward... I love my set up!! It's so friggin tight and thoroughly enjoy it. I go from the mall to the mountains!! quickly!
Here's my similar setup. BDS 6" with 6" coilovers set at 6".

I tried to call bds but just missed them. I'm hoping to leave my fox 2.0 coilovers set at 2 and then put a 2inch spacer on the top. But we shall see what they say. The fox 2.5s are way overkill for what I need. I do light trails, creek beds, fields go access hunting areas etc. I also am trying to rip out my b&o play system which is costing me like 3 k lol so if I can just do the bds 4jnch with my fox setup and just got the fox rear shocks I can do both at the same time with the wires approval
