I'm curious what this does to your fuel economy. Every truck I've owned has been lifted, except this one. My current commute is long, so I'm trying to keep the gas mileage, but hate not lifting it...

Thanks for the summary Thomas. Did you install the new shocks at the factory setting or did you have them adjusted to maximize the lift/height? I know the new shocks are adjustable...
Factory settings. Net 1.75

I haven’t installed the tires yet. Fuel economy is almost the same. Still getting great mpg in the highway. Most trips are over 22mpg. And I have 3400 miles already in 2 months. City sucks, but it sucked before the level too! Bummer because that was one reason I went with 2.7. That and I don’t tow often

They're advertised as 0"-2". They are adjustable.
They’re supposed to be set at 2 inches from the factory. Fox informed me powerboosts may not be able to achieve 2 inches, despite their advertising, as they only want you to adjust them up a half inch on the collar, equaling 1 inch more lift

Just put the same setup on mine and added 275/65/20 Toyo at3. I only lost .2 mpg, from 21.1 to 20.9. 3.5 with 3.55. I’m actually impressed with how much performance the truck retained after going with the bigger tires. Everyone talks like it kills the power but that’s not my experience.

does this level/lift affect the lane assist or the smart cruise control or any other functions? Do these "sensors" need re-calibrated?

Vast majority of users say no issue, even with BlueCruise. Few reports of issues with no real reason why they are different.

I reason it like this: It's a truck, and with weight in the bed, the truck will level out. It would be really bad planning to have a system that couldn't account for some angles changing.

The front radar is a cone shape, and the cameras all move up in proportion with the lift, so I think that's why there is no issue.

Thank you for the reply. I bought the Bilstein 6112 and I’ve had them for a few months in my garage and will get it done soon. My truck has only 2,000 miles so that’s why I have been sorta just waiting

Same. I want to have them on for a trip at the beginning of September, though, so I'll need to get them on quick!

HEY ALL!

Exciting news. I received my Fox 2.0 Front Coilovers / Rear Shocks from @Stage3Motorsports a few days ago and had them put on the same day.
This kit is BRAND NEW FOR THE 21-22 4WD. It just came out - so I decided to give it a shot. Gotta say, Im damn happy I did.

First off, I have a 22 XLT 302a Space White 4x4 Sport (not fx4) and with stock tires, ground to top of fender in the front measured 37.25, rear 39.75.

PROS
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE RIDE DIFFERENCE. I honestly can't rave enough about the ride quality. They ride like a dream in every way. Starting off the line, cornering, potholes, ruts you name it. I Will update this post after I take it off road. To be honest these would be worth it no matter what situation you are in.

CONS
Did NOT give me the full 2 inches of lift. but It came close... front now measures at 39. So a net of 1.75 maybe a smidge more. Kinda sucks, but Im not gonna pay for anymore additional strut labor - so im leaving it as is.

After much heated debate raging within my own head about tire size - I decided to go with a 275/70/18 tire. Ive read on here some people can fit the 295/70/18 with a level and no trimming, but others who can't. Im not gonna chance that not working, AND the Toyo AT3s I am picking up tomorrow only weigh 52Lb.

I will post photos once its complete (suspension/tires, not done color matching yet) But here is a picture of it with the fox suspension installed, with the stock tires (Goodyear Territory AT 275/65/18, Says its 32, but with a tape measure its actually 31.4) And my method wheels I took from my 18 3.5EB.
Truck looks killer and glad to see that you are liking them. The height I cant comment too much on as it does seem to be primarily power boosts that are having issues, we are in the process of dealing with fox. Our shop truck (3.5 CCSB) got the 2" of lift as have some others so unfortunately seems as though there is some variation.

Can you confirm the part #‘s for the front shocks? Looking at what options I have for ordering in Canada. Thanks!

chris

Front: 985-02-146

Have any pics? I'm thinking of that size tire and "level".

Which rear springs do you have in your truck? Do you have max tow or HDP? I think that makes a HUGE difference as to how aftermarket shocks will ride.
