3” kit on Platinum? Which one?

[Wmflyfisher]

I’d like to go higher than the Fox 2.0 kit I currently have but it’s a platinum. Are there any 3” kits out there which will work ok with the auto headlights and other features without having to make any major adjustments?

Also thinking of running a 37x11.50 this time. Thoughts?

Readylift SST 3.5”?

 

[wessermgm]

Both Rough Country and Rancho have specific 3" kits. As SpaceWhite said, ReadyLift has a 3.5". Depending on what engine you are running, some have gotten 3" out of the Eibach coilovers (I think on 2.7L).

I doubt any of these would get you the clearance needed to run 37"s. I have a 2" ReadyLift and I am running 34.5" KO2s (285/65/20), and it barely avoids rub. One more inch of lift won't get you two more inches of rubber.

Thanks folks. With my Fox 2.0’s I’m running a 295/65 which is a 35.1 by 11.2. Zero rubbing or issues when turning. I’d be ok with a 3.5” kit as well but what about CV angles or the auto adjust headlights?

I've got the Roush Fox 2.0 on my Powerboost Platinum (with the heavier springs). I cranked the collar up a little to get about 2.5" of lift on it and the CV axles are about as angled as I'd be comfortable with. I'm sure they're fine but I subconsciously let off the gas a little when turning to not stress the axles lol. I'd think you'd 100% need to drop the diff if you were going up to 3.5"

You can manually adjust the "starting point" for the headlights, I think the auto deal would be fine after that

You can also loosen, shove forward, then retighten the crash bars to get a little extra clearance there...

There are some nice 3" kits out there. If you are trying to just do a spacer ride (which comfort wise is a big downgrade from your current coilovers) you could do the ReadyLyft 3.5 kit. If you want to stick with Coilovers, then the Eibach Pro 2R or some of the Icon kits will help you achieve that. However, when you move up to 3" you also need to swap your UCA's out to keep those angles in good places and not cause potential stress and damage to other components.

If you want our vote, the Eibach 2R kit is a great route to go. They will be slightly firmer then the Fox kit but not as firm as Bilstein. Perfect middle ground. Plus the rear Resi shocks really help in ways you dont ever think about until you hit rougher terrain/roads. And since you would need UCAs we happen to have a promo going on Eibach kits paired with SPC UCAs. So that may help you too on the savings side.

Now as for 37" tires; that can happen but will require more work such as removing crash bars, trimming some plastic/fender liners, and at MINIMUM a 3" lift. This fitment also comes down to what the exact wheel specs are as well as the tire specs. We have ran 35s on our Tremor build with a 3" lift and still rubbed due to the wheels. So we had to add a small 1/4" spacer and then rubbed in the rear well at full crank. So we had to trim. That was just on 35s but they were also MTs. Now the 35s we have do not rub at all and spacer is not needed. So it can be done! Just may have to work at it and do a little testing on some things.

But hit us up if you need help on a kit! We try to take care of members here the best we can!

Doesnt icon make the tremor kit for regular f150s? 3.5-4.5” on different knuckles?

There are people running 37-11.5 tires on factory wheels, it can be done!

I actually added a .5 spacer to the top of the Fox 2.0 to give me a little more but I’d really like to try the 37’s on factory wheels.

That kit says not compatible on trucks with BlueCruise so I don’t know and it’s so damn expensive too!

Hmm, it is a bit pricey. But if it rides good it would be worth it! Are any lifts compatible with blue cruise?

Thank you. I’ll look into that kit. I’ll be running the 37’s on factory wheels so that may help.

The Fox 2.0 is or at least it works on mine. It may be just a disclaimer.

That’s what I’m thinking it is

I have this same kit with the resi's and it works perfectly with bluecruise. It is pricey but rides incrediblely well on and off road.

ReadyLift SST is what I'm running. Super happy with it!
