Hello everyone this is my first post. I joined this forum to share my experience leveling my truck with coil overs. My truck is a 23 Ford f150 xl 4x4 with the 5.0 and 3.73 gears.
I originally decided to go with Rancho Quick lifts. I had used them before on a 2017 Ram and they worked out really well. With this Ford the Ranchos were not good. I installed them and instead of the 2 to 2.5 inches Rancho had said they raised it 3.25 inches. It was nose high and I didn’t care for it and the angles on my Cv axles was concerning. Then I drove it and that’s when I knew they would not be working out. The ride was horrible and it didn’t matter which setting they were on. I pulled them back off put my stock coil overs back on and sent them back to Rancho for a refund. Not bashing on Rancho I have used them in the past and had good luck with them but these were not for me.
I decided to go with Fox 2.0’s after this. They were more expensive but after installing them I can say they are worth every dime! I kept seeing that people are getting different amounts of lift from them so I wasn’t sure but they came out on my truck at just a little over 2 inches of lift which is right where I was wanting it. It sits about 1 inch higher in the rear but it looks pretty much level front to back looking at it. The ride is better then stock and I am anxious now to install them on the back as well.
Again this is on a 23 F150 xl 4x4 with 5.0. Stage 3 told me I would probably get around 1.5 inches of lift with having the V8 but it was a little over 2 inches.
Hope I could be some help to anyone considering the Fox 2.0’s. Sorry if this is poorly written I’ve never posted on any forum before and these are the only pics I have now. I can get some more if anyone would like me to.
