Fox 2.0 with Factory spring

[NB64]

I want to stiffen up the front suspension. I already have the fox 2.0 on the rear with the RAS system and really like the way it feels and handles. But I think it exaggerated the way the front handles. I don’t really care about leveling the truck so buying the coil over setup almost doubles the cost. Does anyone one have the Fox 2.0 with the factory springs. Not a lot of info on 21 or 22 trucks out there. Thanks

Yeah. They’re called the snap rings. I have them. They’re great. At stock ride height or maybe one up from there would ride amazing

Ok thank you I have them sitting in my garage. I was thinking about going up one from the bottom.

I did the Fox 2.0 just struts installation today. Went much easier than I anticipated. The upper ball joint came out without a hammer or separator. It was around 3.5 hrs job. Rides really nice. Now matches the rear that already had the Fox shocks and RAS installed. I installed the front struts at factory height.

One thing I did not do was loosen the upper control arm bolts during the install. I followed The Ford instructions for their version of the Fox 2.0 coil over kit. Their instructions did not call for loosening of the upper control bolts.
After the install I had a bit of side to side movement. Based on my experience with my Ram 2500 with torqued bushings I decided to loosen the upper control bolts with the truck flat on the ground. I then retightened and the ride difference was amazing.
I think that during the install I should have raised the lower control all the way up then attach the upper control arm. Instead I don’t think I raised it enough and then forced the upper control arm ball joint down into the knuckle. Probably torquing the bushings.
just food for thought if you’re going to go this route.
