I was just looking at Fox 2.5 CO Spanner wrenches on Ebay..I'm gonna assume the COs don't come from Fox with one??

i don't think they come with.
while you're at it, get yourself one of the range industries knob tool too:

Fox DSC Adjustment Helper Knob

CNC machined helper knob for turning Fox's high speed DSC adjuster. Knob is made from Delrin to prevent damage to shocks. Note: If backordered parts typically ship within 2 weeks.

I went the simple route and did the BDS 3" kit with the SuspensionMaxx front end links, Core 4x4 jj and poly rear, metalcloak bump stops and a Hellwig 7793 on the current my24 Ram. Don't do any off roading. Just some gravel roads and camping trails very rarely. Thought about Carli but was scared of the new shocks not being proven and I liked the Fox PE adjustability.

Quick note, when I originally installed the Core 4x4 CA's, Trackbar, end links, they were backwards. Once i changed to have the poly at frame, it made a difference.

The Fox PE gave me about 2.8" front and the springs settled just under 1.5". My Ram has about 3/4" rake which works for me. Dead level can make our trucks look nose high.

At your leisure, any chance you could get me a measurement of how much thread is showing on your front PEs?
Your Preload collar should be threaded down ~3/8-4/10 if the '0.5" thread change equals 1.0" ride height change' ratio is correct(?).
I think no thread exposed is 2.0" lift, but I don't know.
I want to set mine to 2.625-2.75" lift, so your 2.8" would be a good measure to base mine off of.
Thanks in advance!
My rear 883-26-079 PEs showed up today (front 883-06-166 are coming tomorrow) ...CRAP, these things are BEEFY!!

Do you happen to know your measurements fender to ground and what size tire? I'm curious compared to mine.

Any measurements you might have of your front PE threads would be appreciated also, if possible.
Trying to avoid having to reset after installing..probably will need small adjustment no matter what though.

I can try, as long as I don't forget
