Rock Sliders:
White Knuckle Off Road - https://white-knuckleoffroad.com/product/ford-f-150-rock-sliders/ (Frame attached - currently showing up to 2020) - I have personally used these for another truck and they are absolutely rock solid.

RCI Metalworks - https://rcimetalworks.com/product/supercrew-rock-sliders-15-f150/
I spoke with them about the unsupported length of the front of these sliders. They mentioned the design was based on the Tundra and additional supports would make them unuseable for the Raptor. I suggested a second "add-on" spar in the front for non-Raptor owners. We'll see if anything comes of it.

New fox 2.5 elites 2”

[Aliass24]

These new fox 2.5 elite are .75” longer than the 15-20 version and install instructions list them at 2.5” of lift so maybe they will provide some lift for the tremor.

 

[Bullitt1841]

Is it just me or did the Fox Performance Elites just get released for 21+ F-150's, officially "not excluding Tremors"?

[Cblaxx19]

you are correct in that they dont say "not compatible with tremor" like some of their other products call out. which is certainly interesting.

they are a little shorter at full extension still though.

Extended	28.370
Compressed	17.400
Travel	10.980

im intrigued by them for sure.

 

[Bullitt1841]

I have removed my rear blocks, completely, plus added the standard RAS kit at the lowest setting. I am currently running the Bilstein 33-253190's in the rear. These are the spec's on them:

Collapsed Length (IN) 17.52
Extended Length (IN) 28.74

I think I might just have to try these new Fox's, as I've been waiting for other adjustable damping options to come out besides the RC Vertex.

 

[FaKtor34]

That option will only raise the truck about 1" with the coilovers, if your looking for a larger lift you need to go for 2.5" to 3" for the f150. As for the rear shocks they are about 2" short on the extended length. And compress about .5" too much which means you would hit your bump stop quite often. I just don't see the gains being worth the cost on that, but it's your truck and your money, if it's what you want then give it a try.

 

[FaKtor34]

For those of you with questions on shock performance this video gives a good breakdown on different brands and their performance, granted it is tested on a Taco so it might be slightly different on our trucks. Also to note these are just stock replacement coilovers that provides no lift. However these videos give a good I guess unbiased report on their performance.

[Bullitt1841]

Yeah I might be in the minority, but I really don't care if my truck gets any higher. I'm in Orange County, CA and there aren't too many obstacles out here unless you go searching for them. If I feel like going off roading, there's plenty of places out here within an hour or two, but it's pretty rare for me to see dirt or snow more than 5 times a year. Plus, the truck is really fast for what it is and bigger tires just slow you down!

Like I said, I already have Bilstein 33-253190's in the rear, which fit because I took the rear blocks out. This kit might be exactly what I've been waiting for. I mostly want damping adjustability, not a height change.

 

[Bullitt1841]

@FaKtor34

BTW, those videos were awesome. Made me scratch my head about the Fox 2.0 so many people rave about. Hopefully these Performance Elites have enough damping adjustment to satisfy my needs.

I noticed that the install instructions list them at providing 2.5” of lift on the front.

 

[FaKtor34]

I noticed that the install instructions list them at providing 2.5” of lift on the front.

The snap ring and the 2.0 lifts up to 2.5" which would give give the tremor around 1.5" , the 2.5 only lifts 2.0" which only provides 1" of lift on the tremor.

I’m sure you could add some preload to bring them up some.

 

[Cblaxx19]

from the install manual, @Aliass24 is right. it says the front provides 2.5" of lift. but the product page says 0-2". so there is some conflicting data on the fox site.

fox emailed me back and said they should lift the tremor 1”-1.5” in the front.

That’s for the rear shocks I think. Fronts are for 0-2.5

 

[Cblaxx19]

A guy on Facebook just installed the fox 2.5 performance elites on the front and got 2.75” of lift out of them.

He has the rears coming on Thursday so will be interesting to see how they turn out. Given their extended length specs, they seem to be too short unless you go to a smaller block. But the fronts have more lift that expected so who knows what the deal is

 

[Bullitt1841]

Looks like he cranked them up a bit to get that amount of lift. I wonder how much firmer the ride will get with these by maxing them out. And if softening the DSC knob(s) brings them somewhat back to how they shipped from Fox.
