Fox 2.5 Performance Series HTO Shocks

[Tucker417]

I came across these today and was curious if anyone is running them or has any input regarding them.

They seem like a good option for those not needing external reservoirs but looking for a nice upgrade. They do allow you to reuse the OEM coil spring as well.

I had these on my F250 and they were amazing. Not sure that I have seen anyone with a Bronco use them yet but I'm also intrigued.

It is strange there is a Bronco fox 2.5 shock and nobody has ever installed and reviewed it.

From what I can tell, these are a newer release. It appears they first came out for the HD trucks and fox is adding more applications.

Is this a typo? 0-3” lift?

Perfect timing Fox! I was looking at Hoss 3 but wanted a little lift. Was gonna save for Fox 2.5 but this one is for the win!

Interesting. I've read the manual a couple times now, I'm a little confused about the statement pg 8 about a Hoss 1.0 wildtrack getting 1" lift since I thought that all wildracks had the Hoss 2.0 or 3.0. So are they trying to say that these achieve 1 inch of lift on a wildtrack and 3" on a base bronco or?

Also, wonder how these compare to the Eibach springs or Hoss 3.0 kit which has the external reservoir shocks

I did the change on my Bronco Badlands Sasquatch — went with the Fox 2.5 Performance Series (no reservoirs). Honestly, it was a night and day difference both on and off-road. On pavement, the ride’s smoother and more controlled with no break dive. Off-road, it handles washboards, ruts, and chatter way better than stock. No more pogo-stick feel.

Using the factory coils helped keep the cost reasonable.

Thank you for the feedback. Any side shot pics? How much lift did you gain over the stock ride height or was it the same? Did you need upper control arms?

With the Sasquatch springs, I ended up with about 1.75" of lift up front and 1.25" in the rear. The Fox 2.5s are fully adjustable coilovers, so dialing in the stance was easy. You can definitely go higher, but that was about the lowest I could go using the OEM spring length.

I also went with the Icon tubular upper control arms (not the billet) to get better alignment range and improved off-road movement. Everything’s been working great together as a package.

If adjusting is needed after the installation can’t be done on the truck or do you have to pull em

The nice part is you can make adjustments right on the truck. Depending on whether you're going up or down, you might need to use a floor jack to unload the spring and relieve tension before making changes.

Thanks! Looks great! Did you setup your springs as the instructions say to or did you find that you needed to increase or decrease pre load using the adjustable collar?

 

[Truckin]

Sorry for all the questions. You said yours are adjusted as low as the go? Is that how they are out of the box?

Thanks​
