Anyone have FOX 2.0's Installed

[boogielander]

Ya I guess fully reading would help I was unaware you could get 2.5” lift from the 2.0s. Thought the max height was 2”

and there goes the suspension travel lol

I'm doubting that .5 will matter Unless Baja across the bumps which these are not meant for.

oh you'd be surprised how .5" affects things... coming from personal experience and seat time. ride will be on the stiffer/ harsher side too. basically it's asking the shocks to do more than what it's designed to do and that also involves spring rates, valving, etc. it's a whole new can of warms lol

but if he's not gonna hit the trails fast then it's gonna be less of an impact.

Ok Boogielander you seem like the one that may have insight into this question.
I'm running Bilstein shocks that are valved for coil springs on an air bag suspension.
My Q is how specifically do the "effective spring rates" differ between air bags and coils? Which is more linear? Which drops off quicker? And what is the effect of running a coil spring shock on air bag in the rear of my truck?
Asking as an all pavement, no trailer, flat lander.

hmm can't really comment on bags. the only thing we do with bags is remove them lol
i can only tell you that bags in the rear is used for towing and if you constantly haul heavy stuff that go on and off the bed.

if you gonna be on pavement all the time just go with coil. better for long term

Looks good man! What year is your truck and what product number did you use for your rebel rear coil springs? I currently have 1” Motofab rear spacer but would like to upgrade to a 1” rear coil spring. Either ORP or Rebel spring would work for me. Just don’t know which product number (S/N) to order.

Here you go..check your spring # and cross-reference to the ORPs.
(The yellow highlights are for my Laramie G/T..sorry couldn't remove)
Keep in mind..supposedly the ORP springs are really only a 0.5" lift compared to standard springs, the other 0.5" lift is the 33" tires on Rebels/ORG Rams versus 32" tires on standard 1500s.

Basically what I said

 

[boogielander]

Basically what I said

yeah lol
well i do have high performance standards when it comes to suspension lol

Sitting at same ride height with Bilstein 5112 all around and F+R ORP springs and Mopar lift uca's. Getting ready to put Mickey's 285/65/20s on fuel rebel 20x9 with a +1 offset. Put 275/65 in atturo xt but wanted a tad wider and better quality tires. U like the Baja's so far?

Love em. Not loud. Run smooth. Look tough.

Yeah I talked to Fox and they said I could adjust them up another 1/2” without affecting ride quality which would add close to 3/4” of ride height. I went up 6 turns which was about 3/8”.

Pulled the trigger, love em. Much better ride quality and look beefy. Thanks man!

So I will have front and rear soon. I was just curious if anyone had them and what their opinions were. I was gifted the coilovers and the rears from my brother but i cant seem to find much info for them on RAMs. I should have installed and new Tires next week and ill post some photos. Thanks for any info.

Hey, man I’ve got a 2019 ram 1500 Laramie with the 20x9 inch rims currently running in 33” Falken wild peaks at4w I have a 4” BDS kit and I’m running the fox coil over in the back and the struts in the front. I have the performance 2.0. Over the stock suspension it handles WAYYYYY better. IMO it’s stiffer and there’s way less roll in the body of the truck even with 5” total of lift including the upgraded 33’s.

The performance 2.0’s are way more responsive than the stock. It seems the faster you go the smoother the ride. I will say the 2.0’s seem way stiffer than my stock suspension but I also think it has something to do with lifting the truck. My mechanic did an alignment and I have OEM alignment with the lift and tries which is unheard of but the BDS kits are good. Overall, it’s worth the purchase but in my opinion you give of a softer ride for better handling and more responsiveness. I also towed a dump trailer and had a gross weight of 8,000lbs and the fox suspension handles it beautifully as my max towing on my rig with the 3.21 rear axle can only do ~9,000lbs so I was near max towing and it actually smoothed out my ride a lot. It felt like air suspension when I was towing super stable. hope this helps
