Fox 2.5 DSC Suspension - A Brief Overview, Procedure, and Review of Proper Suspension Setup

[Ready Go]

I totally understand your excitement. But, take your time and do it right. The Eibach's are for off roading. Something I really wanted. As time went by and I began bringing more stuff with me(guns and ammo are heavy) they bogged down under the load. They are great if I'm just exploring. In fact, they are awesome. They just aren't designed for hauling loads. The airbags make a great difference and when I'm unloaded I air them down. Just not what I had originally planned for.

Ahhh, I forgot to mention, when my truck was about a week or so old, I popped both rear springs out, cut one full coil off the RR the side-to-side level it..AND added Airlift bags into the rear coils that I run at 5psi. I'll swap those into the new rear Eibachs or ORPs also for the added adjustability

don't sleep on the clayton rear springs if you have constant load. im beyond happy with mine even though they were a royal pain in the **** to put in.
not sure about unloaded performance though because there's no such thing as "unloaded" on my truck anymore.

Which Clayton coils are you running. Wondering if I could swap them in, instead of using a spacer, but wonder how much lift.

Ok everyone..I talked to Dillon at Fox.
(#1) Fox factory sends the PE DSC 883-06-166 set at 3.0" lift.
(#2) ☆☆2 FULL rotations of the preload locking collar equals 1/4" of height change☆☆
(#3) Threads do not equate to collar rotatuon or height change.

Dillon confirmed for me that if I want 2.75" lift, I should back off the preload collar 2 FULL turns and that would be 2.75" lift.

do measurement to double check.
when i asked "how many turns to bring it down 1"?" they told me "half to three quarters of a spin should do the trick"

and that is direct from the service department.
