2021-UP F150 4WD 0-2.75" 2.5 VS RR CDCV COILOVER

[Yeti]

If anyone can guess the mystery (whole) number between 1 and 3, I'll order a set of these tonight and see how they work for Mountain Yak. Yes, I told my wife I would leave spending the PCO Ford finally sent to chance...

 

[ChsTremor]

2 - DO IT NOW!!

1 because if you're not first you're last

 

[Dfris]

3! It's my favorite number and obviously correct since you've yet to reply. to coilovers!

 

[FaKtor34]

So that it's covered I'll say 3 but I think 2 was the right one.

Great minds

The greatest. We had to cover all the options anyway so the man has a valid excuses. Its our duty.

Exactly even had he made it between 1 and 100 I would have made a separate post encouraging everyone to guess each number.

Oh 100% agreed...I would have made 99 more accounts to get this man his coilovers.

 

[Yeti]

Thank you, gentlemen. I just pressed confirm order.
I chose 2 because I'd be in deep dog squeeze had I just up and spent $2k without some entertainment value. I would have also accepted 2.5 (like the shock) and rounded down to a whole number.

 

[TxT]

If you need an email confirming your winning tickets for coil overs , I’m happy to doctor something up.

Some backstory behind this. I spoke with them again today and was told (by two different people) the coilovers will ship @ 2" lift (1.5" of thread showing) which should equate to 1.25" of lift for our trucks . They refused to share the OAL and compressed length so I'll need to post that when I get them. If they can give me 1.25" of lift while being at their perfect setup, I'm willing to run the truck into another curb/pile of gravel to see if it will rub.

Now for those of you paying attention, this math doesn't add up. @ 2" lift for a normal F150, I would expect to see 1" of lift on the tremor.
or, at 2.75" of lift, I would expect to see 1.75" T-lift. I did specifically ask them both if there was a recommendation for the Tremor and they both said to leave it at 1.5" of thread showing as they will come from Icon.

 

[FaKtor34]

So that may mean something about the knuckle or UCA IS different from the standard F150 that may allow their coilover to give a bit extra height. I know it's been questioned if there was a real difference, this kinda points us to the fact that it is, and it's not just a longer from factory coilover they used to get the lift.

I agree, non of the math adds up. The Auto spring 2.5” spacer measures 1.625” tall. And people claim 2.5-2.75” of lift. But everyone on this forum refuses to take an accurate measurement from the center of hub to the fender to take the wheel, tire and air pressure out of the equation. Do you think adding 1.125” to the pre load threads would make it match the spacer kit if there is that much thread?

Yeah, we'll see when they come in.

Likely. They strongly recommend against going past certain thread limitations. With the eibach, 3 inches showing from the factory means no droop on the tremor.

I'll adjust it to where it is about 50-60% compressed at ride height then measure the lift.

This king about that, we could get an accurate travel ratio with proper measurements. 1.625÷2.5 is about 65%

To get the additional 1.25 theoretical inches, you would need to compress the spring an additional .8125" if that 65% number is accurate

I can’t wait for your findings. Pretty sure you will have it figured out before my truck comes. Sounds like Ford is closing all the order banks so switch to a F-250 is out now.

 

[Cheif2Slo]

I love the stance of my truck after the procomp 2.5” level but I can’t wait for a proper strut solution!

I have nothing to add. Here for the knowledge.
