Great choice, mine are from accutune and after 8k miles I have no regrets they are awesome, but I will have to say that they took a good 3-4K miles to really break in and the settings I run now are not what I ran in the beginning.
I would agree. Must say I wasn’t super impressed with them at first but now that they are “broken in” I have also changed my adjustments a bit and am now really happy with these. Have some crap highways I drive and these make a world of difference
Any recommendations on DSC settings to start with for crappy city streets and freeways?
I just started from the stock settings . I ended up going to the firmer side . Unfortunately I don’t recall right now what they are at and it’s -30c outside
That all depends on who’s tuning the shock and what you’re looking to do. I’m running what accutune calls their adventure tune which is primarily street but can go off-road. The first couple thousand miles I ran 4 clicks low speed and left the high speed fully open because anything high speed was just to stiff and now with them loosened up I run 1 click low speed and 5 clicks high speed up front and in the rear I just run 3 clicks high speed and leave the low speed open. These settings work the best for me but that doesn’t mean they will work for you. I’m sure with the powerboost you will have to run a bit more low speed with the extra weight up front but it’s all trial and error but I will say one thing I did was go find one of the bumpier roads in town and run it back and forth making adjustments and taking notes until I found the sweet spot. I will also mention that I do not run a sway bar and that has helped improve the ride quite a bit but that can also be a safety hazard.
Did they adjust them for the extra weight of the powerboost?Just arrived from Accutune after some custom valving! Should be installed on the 15th along with some other goodies
Yep. Gave them the exact scale weights and they did their thing.
Sorry I meant did they adjust the coil spring for 2” of lift because they will only provide about 1.5” out of the box. I think you need around .3” of thread showing above the collar for 2”.
I’ll check
Nice! I upgraded from the 2.0's. I have about 3k on mine. Worth every penny. Definitely takes about 2k 3k miles for them to break in as was mentioned.Fox Elite 2.5’s front and rear, RPG tie rods, and Baja Designs lights all installed. Can’t provide any real review as I haven’t driven it more than 5 miles since, but I’ll update as I go. Ride height stayed about the same as the Fox 2.0’s. Maybe a half inch higher in the rear. I’ll measure eventually.
You definitely have them cranked down, how much lift did you get?Nice! I upgraded from the 2.0's. I have about 3k on mine. Worth every penny. Definitely takes about 2k 3k miles for them to break in as was mentioned.
Out of the box one side was lower than the other so I raised the lower one to match. The truck sat almost perfectly level (about 2.8 inches but it road awful. Almost like a skateboard. They did get better after they broke in but were still stiffer than the 2.0's i replaced so I took them down about 3 turns and it now rides the way I expected it to. I'd say they gave me about a 2 inch lift.
