1/2” spacer with Fox 2.0 kit??

[Wmflyfisher]

I want to add a bit more lift to my Fox 2.0 kit. Can I simply add a 1/2” spacer to the top before installing the coilover? If so, which spacer do I need? A link would be great. Thanks!

You can easily adjust the coilover on or off the truck to get the lift you want. Why add a spacer?

I wasn’t aware the 2.0 was adjustable. Is it?

Just watched a couple videos. May be easier to just add a small spacer (if able) than trying to adjust them with a spring compressor.

It depends if you want more preload to accomplish the lift. I don’t see why a little spacer would be bad, but you might end up with more than 2.5” of lift depending on the spacer. If your installing it yourself I would test with just the coilover then possibly add a spacer if needed. Once you do the install once it is a lot easier the second go round.
Also consider the amount you tow. Also these 14th gens with about an 1” of rake look level, when they are perfectly level they look a little nose high.

A spacer is fine to use. Lots of people run them on only one side on the non-adjustable coilovers no compensate for lean and to level side to side.

You can also eliminate the need for a spacer and preload the coils a little more, but on the 2.0 it's very important to do so with the coil compressed, which means it's a real pain in the butt to do that way. The spacer will be the easiest way, and you shouldn't even know it's there.

I leveled my '20 3.5 (engine plays a factor due to weight) with readylevel 2.25". Other guys looked perfect. Mine looked terribly nose high, the squat stance was brutal. Technically I was pretty much dead level front to back but *barf*. Added a 1" block to the back and made it somewhat better.

As said before, less is more until you see what it actually looks like installed.

Thanks guys. I’m going to see what it looks like without first. Probably be fine.

After installing fox 2.0's on my 3.5 Max Tow Platinum I was left with exactly 2" of rake. I will probably eventually install a 1/2" spacer on the front.

Yep mine is the same way. I already ordered the spacer. Wonder why it’s not lifting the front a full 2”? Your truck looks really good. What size tires?

A couple shots of mine…

Yes easily, as I said. I’ll add this tho, adjustable coilovers are the devil if your ocd like me. You adjust it once then you find yourself chasing measurements and doing it over and over. Your truck looks great, I’d leave it be.

I’ve heard a lot of people say they weren’t getting the full 2” from the fox kit. Nice platinum. I’ve got 285/65r20 KO2’s, what size are yours?

Added the spacer today and much better. It’s minor but I can tell with my OCD. Bummed I need another alignment. Hoping they will just recheck and adjust without charging me but not sure I could get that lucky.

Looks good, where did you get spacer?
