Rough ride

[Farmhandz]

I went to Southern Style 4X4 to see my Fuel Variant 20x9s with the new GCM color match..and to have the 285/60R20 Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascents mounted & road force balanced.

The RF numbers can in at 8/8/4/2 and none had to ne broke down and spun..one of the 8s needed and extra 0.5oz after initial balance to dial in. Shop guy was happy and surpeised they balanced so easily.

They're cleaned up with hub rings, valve caps, psi at 39, and ready to put on..but probably can't get to it until nect Monday (and get AlfaOBD programming all set also).

Washed the truck today, and everthing is prepped to install the OEM Fender Flares at same time (new spats are swapped in already).

I'll get some feedback on these tires for you next week.

Thoughts on which center caps...
Matte Black with Chrome "Fuel" or completely GCM caps???

TPMS are matte black metal with chrome caps, and I have matte black and chrome Gorilla splined lugs sets..probably using chrome lugs. (my Latamie has Sport pkg with chrome RAM on grille and doors).

Dang that looks good.

Unfortunately this aligns with my hypothesis going in. I’ve long heard the 2.0” Foxes do not have a similar ride signature to the 2.5” Foxes, and instead are rather firm, especially cranked to any material lift height.

As for the noise based on description I keep thinking back to some type of contact between UCA and coilover spring. But this should only be a remote possibility if using stock UCAs on a level cranked up pretty high (2.5” or more).

I had it back at the shop and the owner did say they firm up once adjusted. Mine set at about 1 and half inch he said.
Drove a smooth highway this morning in cool weather and it felt as skittish as a 3/4 ton.

I do have Black Gorilla lugs also, but went with the Chrome Gorilla lugs, since the whole wheel & cap is painted..and the chrome ones accent with the chrome Ram badges & exhaust tips.

Here's some final pics with the Mopar OEM flares installed.....

They fill out good. Looks great.

So crazy, I'm on Eibach Pro-Truck srruts/shocks (1.625" lfront level lift).and they are actually rwally hard to find much fault with, so your Foxes are confusing

It looks great though! Not great if you hate the ride though.

Plus I’m running 32psi cold on 275/60 HT tires…

Not sure if that is actually good though..like I stated before, mine us really sensituve to setting Cold psi at 39psi..gets to 41-42 HOT if at 44 or over it gets rough.

Low coldvpsi was comfortable to me and handked poorly..but my setup is different than yours.
