Fox 2.5 Factory Series

Has anybody used this suspension in their truck? Any feedback?

I'm picking this up for my '14 Limited. Seems the Xreas is leaking and I'd rather be done with it. As this is my daily driver, curious about road handling characteristics. No doubt it will shine offroad, just curious about on road performance.

 

I'm planning on getting a pair of the rear shocks at some point.

Are you planning on getting the ones with the adjusters?

 

The 2.5 coilovers for the front do have height adjusters, but the shocks I'm getting don't have the DSC. That's a pretty expensive option.

 

The adjusters are an expensive option, but worth it if you're worried about road handling characteristics. The point behind these particular (dual) adjusters is to be able to fine tune both low speed and high speed handling. Adjusters on all other companies shocks are mainly focussed on high speed adjustability, which makes them more useful in faster, offroad handling. The dual adjusters (more specifically the low speed adjuster) will help tremendously with being able to fine tune on-road handling characteristics.

You can get away without the adjusters for the front end because you know the weight and can plan accordingly with valving and/or spring rate. However, since the weight in the rear end of the truck can vary greatly, I think the dual adjusters make sense for the rear shocks. That's my thought process anyways. You may disagree.

 

Did you end up getting these?

 

Yes, I did get them. I'm very pleased with them so far.
