Strut and Spring Questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am considering the following for leveling my truck.

 

Stock Z71 springs with Bilstein 5100's

Rancho Quick Struts

Fox 2.0 Struts

 

What are the spring rates and spring manufacturers for each? I like the fact that you can adjust the dampening on the Rancho, but all the reviews are middle of the road. I can get Fox 2.0 for $687 through tomorrow.

I'd go with the Fox 2.0 if you can get them for a good price. The Icons 2.0's are supposed to be very good too.

 

The Rancho Quicklifts decent for the money but they won't be anywhere near as smooth as the premium loaded struts from Icon/Fox/King etc. Bilstein 5100's will give you a nice ride at stock height but if you have them set up to level the truck, the ride will be firm like the Quicklifts.

Well, I broke down and ordered the Fox 2.0 coilovers and rear shocks ($895 to my door on Tuesday). The Bilsteins were $400 (front), $170 (rear) plus $300 in labor, so for an additional $25 I got Fox 2.0 (front coilovers & rear shocks) and can install them myself.

You got Fox coil overs for $895?

why yes... yes I did. They are the 2.0s plus rear shocks. The 2.5s were running $1195 before the 20% discount which ends today.
