Fox 2.0 kit (Regular vs. Roush)?

Hello everyone. I’m looking at leveling kits for my 2018 F150 XLT 5.0 CC 4x4. I want to do it right the first time. I’ve always heard great things about Fox suspension products. However, I’m finding 2 different kits for the Fox 2.0 right now. I see the regular 2.0 kit but then I see some places have the Fox Roush 2.0 kit for about $100-200 more. Is there a difference between these two kits? Thanks for any help.

This may sound slightly (or a lot) cynical, but if I were a betting man (I'm not really), I would bet that Roush charges Fox $150 to put their name on them.

Thanks everyone! This is what I suspected, but wanted to get some input from people who have more knowledge on it than me. I’ve put my leveling kit plans on hold right now. I was all set to go with the Fox 2.0 coilovers but then I started reading about some people not liking them after getting them. I am also not sure if the 2” level they provide is going to give me the look I want. I have 3” of rake on my truck (front=37” rear=40”). So I’d still have about 1” difference at the max setting with the Fox 2.0 coilovers. However, I did go ahead and order the Fox 2.0 rear shocks to improve over stock so I’ll be putting those on when they get here next week.

Why are you making these changes? Do you have problems with the 2.0? Or just some things you don’t like about them? I want to get mine right the first time and not dump a bunch of money into things that I’ll just change out later. Thanks!

My Roush F150 came with FOX 2.0 Suspension all around from Roush. It was part of the Package. I actually do use my Truck Off Road so FOX 2.5 is perfect setup for my OffRoading. I dont do Hardcore HighSpeed Offroad thats why I never went with a Ford Raptor besides I preffer my Supercharged V8. FOX 2.0 thats on my truck now they are great on the street and offroad ... just not in my Offroading ... i need them little bit more stiffed and thats where FOX 2.5 comes in.

I put Fox 2 rears on my truck. It made a very noticeable difference to the good. It was a major improvement when pulling a trailer (about 6,000#) as the sway was largely eliminated. The ride empty on washboard gravel is much more controlled. Don't know if I will go to Fox 2 coil overs on the front. I would like to go to LT type tires but hard to find for the stock 20 in. wheels that will fit without problems. I wonder if 285 or 295 55 r20 tires would work w/o a level.
