How many of you guys run coilovers and think it improves the street ride and riding down hunting trails etc?

had a discussion while back about them. Am still prolly gonna do just fox 2.0s but I could add coilovers later- it's a 1500$ upgrade however. If I'm not taking my super duty through Baja trails and jumping mounds at 55mph. Is it worth it? Or no.

 

You know what I think

For what you want to do, it's not worth it. It would be nice. But I'd go with 2.0 with reservoirs if I were in your shoes.

 

^^^ What he said. Dealing with a separate coil and shock is soooo much easier.

 

Well I'm getting the BDSift kit and it comes with fox 2.0s no resi.

I just didnt know would it be it be possible to add coil overs after the fact.

I know what you told me tricon! Lol. On the pavement though - the 2.0s and coilovers wouldn't be different would it? I know the coilover kit comes with 2.5 fox coilovers + fox 2.0 beside it. Just wondering with these huge trucks if the weight would be justifiable for the extra money$$$$

thoughts?

 

You just gotta pick man haha.

I would go with the coilovers if you're doing some spirited offroading. If not, then no, I doubt you'd be able to tell much of a difference on road.

 

There are a lot of advantages to coilovers and they will ride better. The biggest advantage is the dual rate springs. Being able to have a soft spring rate at ride height, then substantially stiffer spring rate on a bump allows for softer valving and better ride quality.

If you're going to go with coilovers I would highly recommend a 2.5 due to the weight of your truck. It's very hard to get enough damping out of a 2.0 coilover due to the small body and large piston rod. Doesn't leave much room for oil to do the damping.
