i won’t do the manual kit. I’m waiting on the hydraulic kit for my buddy’s platinum right now actually. He’s in close contact wit them right now about it.

No thank you. I thought the 6 grand for mine was a lot. That's not even counting the trac bars and rear shocks I'll be adding later on lol

Sold my Maxtrac today. Getting some 5100s for the rear tomorrow, can’t believe how much fox 2.0s are for what they are

Fox is over rated, on last (3) 150's Ive had fox, halo and now Bilstein 6112s. Next ride will be halo level. Night and day struts, close tie between fox and 6112's - Just my experience in testing the same lousy train tracks Ive driven over daily for decades now and a stretch of crummy highway for test reference point.

i put fox 2.0s on my buddy’s F250 and they ride awesome. Have you tried the 5100s?

I'm getting fox 2.5 resi coilovers, a McGaughys 6.5 inch lift and I'm powder coating everything that isn't already silver to match. Out the door with labor 6k. I'm not going to the cheapest shop to do this admittedly.... the shop I'm going to sent 2 trucks to Sema this year. Nothing but the best for my baby lol. I also have plans to add rear trac bars, powder the rear axle and leaf packs as well as regearing the truck as the next big ticket move as well. I don't plan on that being cheap either.
