I have the extended length 2"-3" coilovers 883-06-166 and wanted a little more than Fox Factory shipped settings which I believe are sent with 2" of pre-load and I wanted 2 1/2". From ground to fender I'm right at 40 1/4" with stock duratrac tires

I also have the Icon 1.5" Rear coils with no weight in bed and they netted me 3/4" lift, ground to fender 41 3/8"

Well boys and girls, I just found out that we are expecting our first child so the truck has got to go! (Trying to get my hands on a hellcat or 392 durango).

If anyone is interested in this setup (Front coilovers, rear shocks, Readylift UCA) it will likely be for sale very shortly. Dealers are not wanting to play ball with me including the lift on the truck.

Exactly. You lose the extra inch removing the factory springs.

Correct, 1:5” of exposed thread will give you 3” of lift (2” over stock Rebel) You can maybe get another 1/4” out of them by turning the collar another one or two turns. I asked fox and they said it won’t hurt anything. Say 3.25 max lift

What is everyone running as far as the dual speed controls? What settings/clicks you running at?

I run low speed at 4 and high speed at 2 front and back. The ride does change quite a bit in my opinion but I can’t seem to settle on how I want my truck to ride. On a side note, is it just me or are the high speed clicks super hard after about 6 or 7? Like 2 hands to twist hard?

I callled the Fox service center in San Diego and they acknowledged the mistake on their end, citing the quality control team didn’t do their part. I waited a week for them to process my order and after all that they only sent me hardware for 1 side! I didn’t want to wait on them any longer and went to a few local auto parts stores to gather the parts. Here’s what Fox uses:
3 M10x1.25 wheel studs
(Dorman 610-360.1)
3 M10x1.25 zinc coated lock nuts
3 unique sized flat washers (I believe I used 5/8”)
Here’s a link from Auto Zone where I locally purchased the studs and nuts
Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a different set of studs for my coilovers to gain some extra length. I noticed that you said that FOX uses an M10x1.25 wheel stud, but the Dorman part you listed (Dorman 610-360.1) is a M12x1.5 wheel stud (so is the link you listed). Do you know if the parts you used were M10 or M12? It makes a big difference for me, as M10 wheel studs are very limited, but the possibilities open up if it is indeed a M12 stud. Normally, I'd just check it with the appropriate nut, but they are already installed by my shop but I don't like the lack of threads above the nut and am therefore looking for a longer stud. Thanks for your help!!

My apologies. Here’s the right part, it is M10x1.25
