3” Fox DSC coilover pics

35” 7/8 from the bottom edge of my wheel with 20’s (probably the most accurate way to measure)

41 3/4” from ground to fender, ridge grapplers with 5k miles, aired to 38 psi. Again this is not a great way to test as everyone’s trucks weigh differently, could be aired differently and have more or less tread.

best way to measure is center of wheel to the fender lip. this way you get an accurate height no matter wheel/tire size
 
My 2.5 fox coil overs did not come with the bolts shop that did the installation had to use some they had laying around

Interesting, mine came with brackets, mounting rings and the top nuts.

Depending on concavity of your wheel you may not hit dead center of your wheel. My center cap is pushed in like 3-4 inches so I’d be guessing on where dead center is unless I used a level.

Measuring from the bottom of the wheel at least allows a dead accurate reference point. th user just needs to specify the wheel diameter.

What’s the production date on your coilovers? Mine were missing the top hat bolts, nuts, and washers for both sides. Production date 3-12-2021.

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

That's just so wrong of them, hope I didn't make the wrong choice. Always used Kings in the past!

Production date 4-7-2021

Thanks for that info.

Dang that stinks, I was quite pleased with everything in the box. Fit and finish!

I’ll have to look at my build date. They must have gotten their crap together
 
I just got mine in today, it had everything required in the box and was happy with how it was shipped and packaged.

We're the studs hard to press into top hat? Thanks

My shop pressed them in with their tool without trouble but Fox said that you can just thread the nuts and the bolts will pull in.
 
Thanks for everyone's responses. I think I'll have them just ship hardware to me, they were wanting me to ship coilovers back.

I chose the RC UCA. I didn’t want to go shelling out 600+, and I couldn’t get the ready lift UCA only from what I could find

Yeah, I hear ya. I went with BDS uppers but am afraid to install them now that I've heard the ball joints snapping, hopefully isolated incident!

Shop just finished my install last night. Pending alignment today! Added the Clayton 2.5 springs to the rear also.
