Falcon sport tow/haul piggybacks are in a good range for Tremors. 30” extended 18.2” collapsed

After talking to Fox decided to go with these:

04-20 F150 FOX 2.0 Reservoir Rear Shock 985-24-054

30.45” extended 18.35” collapsed

He said I can replace the bottom eyelet or 1/4” extra bump stop if I’m concerned about bottoming out but he didn’t believe they would with the .20” bottom out bumper.

And these in the front:

21-26 F150 4WD FOX 2.0 IFP Snap Ring Front Strut Pair FOX-985-62-013X2

Hopefully with install in the next few weeks.

Eager to hear what you think. Specifically I like the stock Tremor's soft ride...but its a bit too uncontrolled and floaty. Especially with any significant weight in the bed. It would be great if these tightened it up a bit but maintained the ride comfort. Also would be nice if Fox officially noted this combo as compatible for the F150 Tremor.

He said they were going to list the front as compatible and the non resi rears as not.

Installing on Monday. I’ll get measurements, CV angles, etc. also doing SPC UCAs

Hay what's up guys just got a 22 a week ago. Any specifics on a all in one kit to buy? I hate the front rake. But want the soft progressive feel still.

Thanks #darthtremor

Congrats on the truck. I thinkbthere are currently 2 places to go, for kits. Halolifts and Rough Country

So. How about this? I had icons on my 21 ranger an loved them.

@Yeti is currently running Icons, I don't think he is getting but about an 1 1/4" of height out of them. He has the fully adjustable versions. I'm sure he'll chime in at some point to let you know. So far to get more than an inch of lift those @Yeti stated and an Eibach offering that you buy the strut and spring separately, are the only ones, there's a possibility kings work but have never gotten clarification.

 

[Yeti]

Yup. Pre-winch, I had 1 3/8" lift with the dcdv 2.5" and it rode exactly how i wanted it to. now, it's 3/8" and I need to shop the correct spring to get another inch

 

[johncode]

I did measure my 985-24-054 Fox rear shocks and unlike the BDS ones they are true to the specs posted. Just an FYI

 

[johncode]

Here’s my pre pick up measurement and CV angles.

 

[johncode]

Looks like I got 2.75” on the highest setting 38.75” before and 41.5” after. I may drop it down one notch but feels good driving. Similar to factory with about 10-20% less roll and dive.

 

[heavyfoot]

Interesting... since the Tremor is already lifted 1-1.5" in the front would have thought a max of 1.5"+ with the new Fox 2.0 front struts. Thinking it may settle some...? Great to hear it feels like stock minus some roll and dive. Might be the ticket for me.

Please show a close-up of the rears... :-}

These are the snap ring 2.0 at max setting which Fox says 2.5” since it uses factory springs (could settle a little). It looks like the second to highest would be 2” of lift which I may go to. Need to do some flex/droop testing. Like others you have to flip the drivers side rear shock because of the factory mounting bracket. All in all I like it and I like that I can lower it in 3/4” increments.

Curious how many people have removed the 2" block in the rear and replaced with the 1.25" stock height F150 block, and what rear shocks you went with. If my truck ever gets off the train I plan to only do a 2" level up front so as to not stress the CV angles, and am debating about using the shorter block in the rear to get rid of the rake. Thinking if I do this then the Eibachs in post #1 here should be perfect length.

I think a couple have. IIRC, the Tremor and Raptor blocks have a slight angle to them. No idea why but it's info for you.

Thanks. The angle is to keep the pinion pointed at the t case so you won’t get driveline vibration.

The Fox rear shocks feel really good so far. Gonna pick up hay this weekend so I’ll get a test with 6000 lbs. The fronts feel good but something about 2.75” that seems excessive. Getting new tires on Monday and going down one notch on the snap ring. if my math is right it should be at 2” +/- .10”
