While not the most economical model available for the F-150, both ride and build quality are by far worth the price. In my first weekend with these installed and aligned I took the truck from the Pinto Mountains all the way south through the Pinto Basin and to the southern border of Joshua Tree National Park. During the weekend these handled highway driving with a compliant and responsive ride, slow crawling rock sections with ample compression, and took desert washes at 70 to 80 miles an hour without complaint, shudder, or fade. While I'm sure my review can be assimilated in the reviews of 09-13 F-150s as well, I greatly appreciate the detail with which Stage 3 vetted this product, specifically that they understand the change in the lower shock mounting point for 2014. On a separate note, I highly recommend purchasing lower control arm camber and caster correction bolts, I went with Raybestos on mine, which are made in the US.

In terms of function, the Fox 2.5 coilovers have been a great addition to my F-150 and are far superior to the stock struts with leveling spacers that they replaced. Coupled with the Fox 2.5 Factory Series Piggyback Reservoir rear shocks, these coilovers give me loads of confidence on rough off-road terrain. The only negative comment I have to say about the Fox coilovers is that after 10 months of use (only 1 Pennsylvania winter), they look horrible. I'll spray them with ACF-50 before the next winter to prevent further corrosion, but the damage is done...

These shocks are decent for street driving, but really shine in the dirt. I did have to mount my reservoir in a different location due to my aftermarket uca has a uniball that would snack the reservoir under full bump situations. All in all these are amazing in the performance and looks department. Thank you Stage 3 Motorsports for the great price and fast shipping.

Customer Question Any issues with the hose rubbing when turning?

Asked by: Alex - 1/12/2022
Customer Answer That depends on what wheel you're using (especially its width, offset, and backspacing) and the width of your tire. In general, as long as you meet Fox's recommended wheel backspacing requirements (a maximum of a 5.50" backspace to clear a 12.50" wide tire), you should be fine.

Customer Question Just picked some of these up, do these come adjusted to the 2” lift or do I need to adjust them to get the 2 inches of lift?

Asked by: KP - 8/28/2021
Customer Answer In general, these come preset at around the 2" ride height mark. Granted, you could be at slightly more or slightly less depending on your truck's engine options and submodel features, since both of those effect curb weight.

Customer Question Will these work on a 2 wheel drive f-150?

Asked by: Jack - 8/16/2021
Customer Answer These coilovers will bolt up to an RWD/2WD F150. However, their ride height ratings are for 4WD F150s, and will likely get slightly more ride height and a slightly stiffer ride on an RWD truck.

Customer Question What are the main differences between these 2.5 coilovers and the 2.0 coilovers? I get the whole increased oil volume and cooling ability but is there anything else? Valving etc? Thank you

Asked by: Roger - 7/9/2021
Customer Answer The 2.5 coilovers have larger diameters, come with remote reservoirs, have larger and stiffer coil springs, have revised valving, different mounts, and extra hardware. It's really an apples to oranges comparison.

Customer Question Whats the best rear setup to match with these?

Asked by: Matt - 3/23/2021
Customer Answer I mean, there's really no "best." A lot depends on what you're doing with your truck, whether you're adding rear ride height, how much rear ride height you're planning to add, if you're going to run constant weight in the bed, etc. In general, if you're going to be using your truck hard enough to justify a set of front 2.5 coilovers, then you should probably consider the Fox 2.5 PiggyBack Rear Shocks.

Customer Question what is the lift of this kit any additional parts needed for install, control arms, spindles, ball joints do you sell the rear shock separate

Asked by: Roadkill - 10/23/2020
Customer Answer These coilovers add roughly 2" of lift out of the box, which is their maximum rated height. The coilovers would not necessarily require UCAs or other hardware, though UCAs may be a good idea if you're going to be off-roading your truck pretty hard. The matching rear shocks are here.

Asked by: Jesse - 10/9/2020
Customer Answer That wheel and tire combination will clear the remote reservoir on these coilovers without issues. However, you likely will get some rubbing with that tire and wheel, due to the backspacing and offset. In general, we recommend the ICON Delta Joint UCAs, though you do have a lot of other options to choose from.

Customer Question Can you jump your truck with these shocks?

Asked by: steven - 8/10/2020
Customer Answer A lot more goes into being able to jump a truck than just the front coilovers. You would likely need to at least look at your truck's UCA and LCA ball joints, if not completely swapping out the UCAs and LCAs for boxed variants. You would most definitely need a hydraulic bump stop for the rear, if not a frame gusset/bump stop combination, since if the axle contacts the frame, you're going to have a very bad day. You'll also need suitable rear shocks, wheels, and tires that can handle the tremendous forces of a 6000lb+ truck landing at speed. We ended up getting the Red Badge of Hubris with our 2013 Weekend Warrior Raptor when we jumped once too often, just a little too fast, and just a little too high and ended up breaking a ton of stuff. If you want to put together a package that will let you semi-safely jump your truck, your best bet would be to call us directly at 623-434-5277.

Customer Question Can you set these so you can ride at "stock" ride height? What issues could I have if I did?

Asked by: johnh - 4/23/2020
Customer Answer According to Fox, the coilovers can be set to a 0" factory ride height. The only potential issue you may run into is that you will be taking a lot of preload off the spring, which will make your ride soft. Now, this can be a good thing if you're concerned with maximizing your on-road ride quality. However, you do need some amount of preload to get better handling, and part of the problem with the F150's stock suspension is that it's pretty soft to begin with.

Customer Question 2 questions. How do these coilovers compare to the adjustable DSC ones? Do they mimic their stiffest setting, softest setting, or somewhere in the middle? Also I plan to add the bds ball joint uca’s, and run method 17x8.5 0 offset 4.75 backspace wheels on a 33x12.50 tire. Will that set up have any issues? 2018 4x4

Asked by: Drew - 2/7/2020
Customer Answer The Fox 2.5s are about in the middle of the 2.5 DSC range, though since the DSCs have both high and low-speed adjustments, it's not quite equivalent. The DSC coilovers can go both softer and stiffer, however. As for your UCA clearance, you should be fine according to BDS's math. According to BDS, their UCAs require a maximum of a 5.50" backspace to clear a 12.50" wide tire. Since the Methods have a 4.75" backspace, you should be fine clearing the UCAs. You may have to adjust the coilovers up a bit to get the ride height you need to clear the tires, since the out-of-the-box ride height of the coilovers can be a little hit or miss.

Customer Question I currently have the 7” readylift on my 17 f150, could I add these in place of my factory “coil over” setup to get the extra 2” height.

Asked by: Kyle - 10/17/2019
Customer Answer You technically could. However, we don't recommend it. The issue is that the steering system modifications that ReadyLift uses for their 7" kit don't like being pushed beyond ReadyLift's 7" ride height. Your better bet would probably be to use the BDS Fox 2.5 Coilovers for 6" Lifts and take their ride height up to about 7.5", which gets you at least a little extra ride height and clearance.

Customer Question I have a 2015 F150 with the 7" ReadyLift kit. I have heard from others that you can actually install this on top of the lift kit spacers, swap out the factory struts, and set this at levels between 0"-2" in order to gain additional height. Is this true? Recommended?

Asked by: Dylan - 10/9/2019
Customer Answer In theory, you can use these coilovers with a lift kit that comes with strut spacers as long as you keep the strut spacers while swapping out the stock coilover assembly. And yes, doing this can get you a bit more ride height. However, we don't recommend it for a ReadyLift 7" Lift Kit, due to the fact that it's steering system modifications aren't happy about any additional lift over its base 7" ride height.

Customer Question Can I adjust these installed on the truck? I want to raise them higher without removing them again.

Asked by: Jay - 9/25/2019
Customer Answer Not really. The issue is that you need to compress the spring in order to adjust the preload collar. Due to the diameter and the strength of the coilover spring, we don't recommend using portable compressors, we only recommend wall or floor-mount compressor. Unless you have a particularly good portable spring compressor, you're probably not going to have a choice when you go to adjust their ride height.

Customer Question Will this require changing the stock UCA on my 16’ f150?

Asked by: Aziz - 8/1/2019
Customer Answer Not necessarily. If you're going to keep the coilovers set at their out-of-the-box ride height or lower and only use them on the street or for light off-roading, you probably don't need a UCA. If are going to be using your truck off-road on the regular, then aftermarket UCAs are a very good idea. Frankly, if what you're not going to be using these coilovers to their full potential off-road, then you may want to consider a less expensive coilover/leveled strut system.

Customer Question Is the measurement for the 0-2" of lift measured from the top of the spring collar to the top of the threads on the coilover? So if I wanted 2" if lift the collar would be turned down 2" on the coilover? There were no directions with them on seeting height.

Asked by: Travis - 5/15/2019
Customer Answer It is not based on that at all. Since these coilovers add ride height using spring preload, there's not a 1:1 ratio of where the spring should be to achieve 2" of ride height. According to Fox, there should be roughly .045" of thread showing at the top of the collar to be at a 2" ride height. If you want to increase ride height, Fox says that two full turns of the adjustment collar is equal to about .25" of ride height.

Customer Question The reservoir in the directions instructs you to place them in front of the spring... But the video you have on this page places them on top of the spring.. Does it matter where you place them on your truck performance/ driving wise? Just asking before I install them on my truck this weekend.

Asked by: ryan - 3/6/2019
Customer Answer It doesn't really matter as far as reservoir and coilover function are concerned. We like them on top of the shock tower as we feel like they're less likely to get damaged than the frontal mounting that Fox recommends, especially with what kind of off-road driving we do.

Customer Question do these 2.5 Coilover's come with a 2" lift like the 2.0's?

Asked by: ryan - 3/6/2019
Customer Answer According to Fox, these coilovers should be at a 2" lift/level out of the box. However, in our and our customer's experience, they can be a little all over the board, so you definitely want to check where the preload collar is set before installation. The set we put on our 2014 F150 Hunting Truck, for instance, was set at a near 0" ride height, and we had to spend some time getting them adjusted.

Customer Question Is there any way I can fit stock 20in rims on a 35x12.50 tire with these?

Asked by: F1Fiddy - 3/4/2019
Customer Answer Not according to Fox's own backspacing requirements. This coilover kit requires a wheel with a maximum of a 5.5" backspace to clear a 12.50" wide tire, and the stock wheels have a backspace of 6.5", so you would likely rub on at least the reservoir line, if not something else.

Customer Question Looking to clear a 305/70/17 all terrain on a 17x9 rim that's either +18 or 0 offset. Would these work or would I need a coilover that goes higher (Icon 2.5?)? I also would like to keep the factory rake so assuming 3" rear block (adding 1.5") is the way to go?

Asked by: Ryan - 1/9/2019
Customer Answer You should be able to clear that tire on either wheel if you run the Fox 2.5s at their max 2" ride height setting. However, clearance will be tight on a 17x9" +18mm with a 305 wide tire if you want to add aftermarket UCAs later. In general, it takes 2.5" of leveling to get a 2014-2018 F150 "dead-level" so at 2" of height, you'd need 2" of additional rear lift to get you back to factory rake. That being said, a 3" rear block adds 1.5" or 1.75" of net lift (depending on the size of your truck's factory block, which varies with submodel/package options), so you'd still have very noticeable levels of rake. Alternatively, you can run a 1.5" add-a-leaf for the same result if you want to improve cargo carrying a bit.

Customer Question If I buy these 2.5 coil overs, can I set them to 0” of ride height and add a 2.5” leveling kit spacer on top? Would that provide any benefits? I have heard the coil overs get stiff when set to 2” of ride and want to keep the soft ride of the shocks but get the 2.5” level to put 35”s and 17”s, what’s your opinion? Spacer or set to height?

Asked by: Dalton - 1/2/2019
Customer Answer 2.5 coilovers are fairly stiff no matter what ride height they're set at (though the Fox coilovers are the most pliant we've tested). There's no reason why you couldn't set the coilovers at a 0" height and run a spacer (which you may want to do if you want to add 2.5" of height, since the coilovers are only rated for up to 2" of ride height). However, you'll need to be sure that the coilovers are set at 0" before adding the spacer.

Customer Question Will these limit the travel of the stock upper control arms? I see in the video that the stock ones are being utilized instead of after-market UCAs.

Asked by: XYZF150 - 9/20/2018
Customer Answer Our video is a little misleading, due to the fact that our Fox coilovers came out of the box at essentially a 0" ride height (which we weren't super-thrilled about). At the 2" of ride height that they're supposed to come out of the box at, you UCA angles will be thrown off due to the extra ride height, but they won't usually contact the coilover spring.

Asked by: Jason Peeler - 6/1/2018
Customer Answer You'll likely have issues with that wheel and tire combination. The coilovers themselves require a 5.5" backspacing to clear a 12.50" wide tire. Most 9" wide Method Wheels have a 5.75" backspace (granted, Fox's backspacing requirements are a little conservative, so you may not have issues clearing the remote reservoir or its hose). You'll also likely get rub on your truck's crash bars with a 12.50" wide tire on a set of Methods.

Will the Fox 2.5 Coilover level raise the front end enough to run the wheel/tire combo without rubbing? Also, I'd like to keep the Factory rake or something close to it. What do you recommend to raise the rear end? A bigger block or an add a leaf? I'm looking for a truck with roughly the same stance as your F150 project truck with the Bronze Wheels. Thanks for the website I wish I had of discovered it before I bought the truck!

Asked by: Matthew - 5/17/2018
Customer Answer You should be able to clear that wheel and tire combination with the Fox coilovers set at their max 2" ride height or higher. Our 2017 F150 Project Truck actually has a hint of rear rake due to the 2.7" of front leveling provided by our Eibach setup up front and the truck being at stock ride height in the rear. To get a near-stock rake back, you'd need a 3" rear block or a 1.5" add-a-leaf kit. Which you should choose kind of depends on your concerns about ride quality vs. travel and axle wrap prevention. Larger rear blocks tend to keep ride quality more or less the same before their installation, though taller blocks can suffer from axle wrap if you're really beating on your truck. Add-a-Leaf Kits don't suffer from axle wrap, keep your travel more or less the same, and handle load better than rear blocks, but do tend to stiffen up your ride a bit.
