Zero difference in the ride. Strange that other spacers out there with people commenting about a decrease in ride quality. I would think it would affect the same across all brands. Also i noticed that i can see out the rear window a bit better since there is less of an angle.
Nice
It is the same, it’s just in people’s heads. Ride quality is subjective. If you stick with stock springs then the ride should stay basically the same, but the geometry does change a bit so it could feel a bit different. I always do spacers over cheap coils (Icon, Fox and King would be good options IMO, but super pricey). I have never been a fan of RC, so my plan is to get spacers when my truck comes in and stick with stock springs. Has always worked well for me in the past. Not sure what the hold up is in any brand officially offering a spacer for the Tremor.
For a 1" spacer you could be right, but most people are doing 2-2.5" ones. And the Tremor receives its 1" stock lift via different UCA and knuckle from the regular F150, so its not an apples to apples comparison. The 2 main issues with lifting the front too much are CV angles and the coils potentially making contact with the UCA at full droop. Thus far those who have done the 2.5" lifts on a Tremor seem to have CV angles in line with those who do a 2.5" on a regular F150. There are a few reports on Tremors with 2.5" spacers having spring contact issues at full droop, so maybe it is something along those lines. I cant figure out how the RC loaded strut kit doesn't have this issue that as the geometry between a spacer and a entire new strut assembly will be the same.
Awesome that you did that! I was wondering if the 2.0 Fox would lift the Tremor as much as it says it will for the regular F150s.
Agree with everything you said. I find it interesting that Ford only talks about the UCA and knuckle being different in order to achieve the factory lift. I would think either the coil or the strut (and where the coil sits on the strut) would also have to be different. Haven't seen anyone compare those (or even the UCA or knuckle) to a regular F150. Those comparisons would be interesting.
Feel free to take a crack at it, rainman.

What about these? Are they the ones that aren't confirmed for a tremor yet? They look like they would work.To add to everyone's happy place, Roush has their own brand of coilovers for '22

I believe these are the ones we are all are talking about. They may be the same ones that Ford currently offers but labeled differently. Roush told me they are not for the Tremors but I believe guys have installed these and the Ford labeled ones on the Tremors. Seems like there are no problems. I guess that is the whole debate here. Some feel there are no problems with installing them. Some feel they are not Tremor specific, so there may be problems possibly. I think some Ford Dealerships are installing them too on the Tremors. For myself, I am waiting for Tremor specific parts but if I had to put money on it, the parts for the Tremor would probably be the same as these current parts. Maybe different springs etc. but as far as fitting, it would all line up. Of course I am not a Mechanic or Engineer but I did stay at a Holiday Express Inn last night.What about these?

I think they will definitely fit like a lot of the pre-MY21 sets. The rub is getting 2" of lift for our Tremors while having ride height sit at ~60% of the coilover's articulationWhat about these? Are they the ones that aren't confirmed for a tremor yet? They look like they would work.

So because tremor is higher stock, for us to get the 2" up front, we'd be around 60% of these coilovers spread? Is that a high tension for them to constantly be under, or does it affect performance?
I also got the Eibachs in this week, rear shocks and front coil overs . Hopefully get them installed this week.
Would you mind sending links to the Eibachs you are referencing? I did the RC front coils already, but def interested in upgrading the rear shocks since the stock ones are SO stiff.
