Man, this thread is massive. Did my best to search and read through things, but there's ALOT.

So if i run Fox 2.0 coilovers in front (2") and then do a 2" block in the rear with Fox 2.0's. 315/70/17 on Raptor Wheels should fit without any rubbing issues?

Answered my own question by reading another thread. Yes they will rub!

I don't know what the difference is between the Fox coilovers, and the Boss/Halo ones, but I don't rub at all with that tire/wheel combination. Where does it rub with the Fox?

I assumed as I read other threads with people with smaller tires rubbing... with leveling kits, maybe there is a difference in the leveling kit versus a full coilover?

Hmm, I don't know. I had those same tires/wheels on with just a 2" spacer originally, then had the coilovers installed. Never had any rubbing either way.
There was another member, ChrisFX,that had the same combination on his truck, and initially they rubbed slightly. Turned out his front end needed an alignment. Once that was done, he had no problems.
I'm wondering if the offset on the wheels were getting them. Were those Raptor wheels ?

Ya, I'll betcha. A lot of guys go to those wheels with negative offsets, and a lot run into rubbing problems. That's one reason I stayed with the OEM Raptor wheels. A bit more than my lowly XLT, but enough to make me happy. So far it's kept me out of trouble. LOL

Hey guys. New owner here and new to the forums, so sorry if this is posted in the wrong thread. I have a 2014 screw FX4 short bed. I've been digging through this thread and I think this is the kit I want to go with. Running 275/65 R20 on stock FX4 wheels. I don't really plan on towing (maybe some jetskis or a light utility trailer). Is there anything I should know before ordering this kit from Rough Country?

I don't know what's better..? Your truck (which it is) or the fact that car wash is like a red carpet event for vehicle's...
