i just purchased a supercrew 4x4 XLT. I am considering installing the fox Stage 1 suspension kit. 2" coilovers and 2" shocks. 95% street and highway driving. I dont want a rough ride. Anyone have these installed on their truck? Review?

I have these, these are a pain in the ***** to adjust the ride height. If i knew that before buying i would have went with Bilsteins. The FOX require you compress the spring in order to change the ride height. or else you may strip the aluminum threads off the shock body. when i wear them out i'm going to get them rebuilt then sell and install the Bilsteins.

The Foxes or Bosses would be a great choice. I have the Bosses and do most of my driving on the road. They ride great!

As for the issue adjusting the Foxes, have you tried adjusting them with the suspension at full droop? Either way once there set what’s the bag deal? Going from Foxes to Bilsteins will be a downgrade in ride quality for sure!

Amet, thanks for the heads-up. You are correct!!!
And you just cost me a substantial increase in $cost. Lol

I decided to move up to the Fox 2.5 with the compression adjustment feature. Probably more than I need, but it'll be nice to be able to tune the ride as circumstances dictate.
I run empty, or tow a small Toy Hauler, and sometimes throw a couple of bikes in the bed.

Not really needing off-road prowess near as much as flexibility in mission, if you know what I mean.
