Another Coilover questions

J_Mas6.2 · October 1, 2018

I currently have a 2in leveling kit on the truck and plan on replacing it with new coil overs (Either Fox 2.0/2.5 or Kings 2.5). Just want to have a great ride and maintain the level look on 33s. Is it worth spending extra to have the adjustable DSCs?

I was wondering with these, if set on say around 2-2.5in level would the aftermarket control arms be required? I understand the need for the aftermarket control arms and plan on doing them in the future, just not trying to deplete my bank account all at once.

These are the king's that i am looking at - http://www.mrtmotorsports.net/king-suspension/king-oem-performance-series/25001148a/i-3751119.aspx

as far as the rear goes i plan on adding the deaver spring pack, and matching the shock to whatever brand i choose for the front.

Thoughts/opinions on either of these setups or the 2.0 foxes? not interested in running the 5100 bilisteins.

Just looking to run 33s comfortably? Go with the Fox 2.0s. I've got them in the front/rear, and I left the rear block stock. Coilovers brought the front up 1.5" or so. No needs for UCA's with 2.0s

You will need new UCAs with Fox/King 2.5 series. People get the adjustable DSCs in the rear for when they're towing a lot typically, otherwise they're not really needed.

Typically you get an add-a-leaf when you're running a 3.5-6" lift and 35s. I don't think you'll need the Deaver kit.

I was set on the 2.0s but just dont want to regret buying those and not the 2.5s later on. its a lot of coin either way it goes.

Hpw i look at it. Its a $40k+ vehicle. Do it right the first time will save money in the long run. 2.5 with upper arm. Youll be good for a long time

There’s a very noticeable improvement in ride quality, as well as bottom-out resistance, on a 2.5” King/Fox w/external rezzies compared to the 2.0”.

But the 2.0” King/Fox is also a noticeable improvement from Bilstein 5100s.

So it really comes down the your budget and priorities.
