I ordered a Fox levelling kit back in June or so and they have delayed it yet again and said maybe the end of December. So I might just put a lift in. I was looking at the zone 4inch lift but they no longer recommend it because the front driveshaft is shorter by 5 inches verses the gas version and can cause a vibration. Does anyone have this lift and can they tell me if they are having issues?

Lifting an EcoDiesel
- Thread starter Warlock1

Every conversation I’ve seen here about them has ended with the driveshaft issue. A custom driveshaft isn’t too hard to get made, but it’s a big expense. Thinking about it, I wonder if a double u-joint could fill that gap.

I’ve lifted my ecoD with 6112/5160s on the top setting. Also changed our uca’s to icon delta joints….35s and zero driveshaft issues
I ran into the same issue with another truck that I owned. When I lifted the truck the driveshaft was no longer long enough and didn't engage into the front diff far enough and it "wobbled" only above 40 MPH though. I'm thinking this is the same thing. I would be able to verify if I could get the lift and check the angles and the penetration. It isn't rocket science and some easy calculations would be able to solve this quickly I feel.

Has anyone found a compatible lift? I noticed Bilstein makes 5100 for the gas model but no diesel. Is this accurate?
5100’s fit the diesel. What site were you looking at?
