I just picked these up for my '21 Tremor, which I am anxious to install and see the difference with the overall driving experience.

For higher speed forest service roads and washboard/pothole, I turn up the high speed and low speed compression to about 4 or 5 clicks. For rock crawling or high articulation (very slow vehicle speed) I actually fully open both up. I’m still playing with the settings for lower speed off roading.

I did some good runs last weekend on fire roads and some high articulation trails. I found that having high speed setting at around 5 clicks in for fire roads was good. The faster you drive on them the more the shocks absorbed. I was doing about 50mph on them on the way back and the truck felt amazing. My low speed setting was wide open.
On the way in, i had the high speed setting adjusted all the way open and the fire roads felt super bumpy and rough, so tightening that up made a huge difference.

If you don’t mind me asking what is the cost including installation for 2.5 ballpark?

Mine came with my lift kit so not sure what they are separately

Understood. Can they be used without a lift for overall suspension improvement and adjustability for my needs: Daily driver/Tow vehicle? In lieu of air bags perhaps?

I'm pretty sure you can just replace your stock ones with the Fox's without the lift kit. I believe it will raise your truck a bit though, the coilovers at least, I'm not sure about the rear ones.

Really anxious to get hear some more about these.

Considering them with some Baja Kits control arms instead of forking over the money and time to do a raptor conversion.

Yes they can. You don't need a lift kit.

The fox coilovers can be used on a stock truck, however, they will lift the front about 2". So you'll need an alignment once you install them.

Take a look at Camburg for UCA's if you haven't already. Great quality and 2 options. I went with the machined billet.

Any perks over the camburg compared to Baja kits?

I looked at camburg as well. Just picked baja kits for some reason.

I cant speak to the specifics as far as manufacturing/materials/design etc...just my personal experience with them and how long they've been around. I've been running their parts on my trucks for the last 18 years and never had an issue. They are designed and manufactured in house in Huntington Beach CA and have built many successful race chassis.

That’s better feedback than most will give. Personal experience is the best review… as is proven success in racing. That knowledge trickles down.

I only recently got into a Ford. But before that knew several who ran Baja kits on Chevy chase trucks/pre runners. Also know Dirt King has some good stuff in the space as well. But dirt king doesn’t make anything for the gen 14 f150.

so I will be adding camburg back to the list! Thanks for the input!!!

@tyrich88 Bajakits is really good. Brenthel is Bajakits and they build trophy trucks. So they know a thing or 2.
