    SVC Bump stop bracket install interfering with exhaust mount

    Yes for added clearance. I also plan on getting a rear bumper eventually so figured I would just cut the exhaust sooner than later.

    SVC Bump stop bracket install interfering with exhaust mount

    I had that same issue. I can't understand how they make these like this, and don't offer any sort of explanation. Anyways, I cut the exhaust bracket so it would clear the bump stop. The bracket is now only held on by one bolt, but I cut off the exhaust right after the hanger so figured it...

    Installing 2017 - 2018 Fox 3.0 suspension on a 2020 Raptor?

    Yes I would. It’s expensive for sure and a lot of time. But I think the truck is better now.

    Installing 2017 - 2018 Fox 3.0 suspension on a 2020 Raptor?

    Added ride height is great for some things, like jumps, creek crossings, and other big moves. But I am also lamenting the loss of droop travel (which creates a bit of a harsh feel as the coilover extends and hits bottom). Ride height can be adjusted with far cheaper options than coilovers...

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    full soft on factory live valves, in normal drive mode would make the truck softer than stock. I personally wouldn't want to drive the truck like that, but it may be your cup of tea

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    They were drooping out before, and are also drooping out now. However, the ride is a lot less harsh now, as the live valve is not stiffening compression as much (note live valve only adjusts compression). None of this is the fault of the live valve coilovers. Instead, it was installer error...

    Installing 2017 - 2018 Fox 3.0 suspension on a 2020 Raptor?

    I have the factory 3.0 live valves and like them a lot - they don't overheat anywhere near as much as the stock live valves, and the 3 click adjustments do make a pretty big difference in how the truck works within a setting (e.g. Baja feels quite different in soft vs. medium modes on the shocks...

    Best bike rack

    I bought a 1UP rack after a trip to Iceland, where we rode bikes for a week with Icebike Adventures, who used the 1UP racks and claimed that they had tried everything and nothing else lasted like the 1UP racks. I figure if the 1UP racks can withstand the abuse of carrying bikes every day...

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    Update: the SVC upper control arms have a little bolt on bracket that attaches to the live valve sensor arm. When I first installed these brackets, I pulled them all the way to outside of each arm to get clearance for the special tool that is used to adjust camber and caster on the UCAs...

    Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

    Is it just live valve trucks? Or are folks with Eibachs (or even Geisers) feeling a significant droop bottom thunk as well, given the reduction in down travel? I'm trying to decide what next to solve the same thunk problem with some 3.0 factory series live valves set at 1.5" of lift - reduce...

    Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

    yes, and I have the live valve 3.0 factory race. trying to figure this out myself, as the ride is not good like this. Any help would be much appreciated.

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    If you know that, why would you assert that I'm extending 13" then? I'll go with my impressions, having driven my truck extensively over more than 1000 offroad kms before the install and extensively as well after the change, over all manner of situations where the shocks fully extends. Do you...

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    @NEOGARAGE For pic of preload, see post 147 in this thread. When you are driving down a road with 9" of room from tire to fender, you only have about 4" of down travel, not 13". So yes, I'm not drooping out 13" on a pothole. I am drooping out 4" though, and I feel the shock top out...

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    Further update on ride with the preload set at 3/4" on the collars (I remeasured them and they are not 13/16" as indicated in my earlier post). when the truck is extending the shocks downwards, for example on potholes, or over a significant speed bump, there is a bit of a thud as the shocks are...

    King 3.0's with new SVC Billet UCA's

    Hey no worries, good luck with the move @Pure745

    I like these. What’s the catch?

    @andreb bummer about the contact with the upright. it looks like the GEN 1 upright is a bit different than Gen 2, with more of a flare. I will have to check again at full droop. See pic attached

    King 3.0's with new SVC Billet UCA's

    Thanks for the review Pure745. Any chance you could measure fender to bottom of the rim? I am curious about the ride height with your 37Kos and want to eliminate tire size from the equation when comparing to my current set up. (bottom of rim is more accurate than centre of hub).

    I like these. What’s the catch?

    I've installed these SVC UCAs. I posted about it in a thread on live valve 3.0s. To install these SVC arms, you have to drill through the upright to give enough space for the 3/4" bolt. This is NOT mentioned on their website, and frankly, should be. That said, they were SUPER helpful...

    Compression vs Droop (down) travel

    For offroading a stock width Gen 2 raptor (i.e. 13" front suspension travel), what is the best ratio of compression to droop travel on the front, and why? I have installed Fox Factory Series 3.0s, and with 3/4" of preload (about 1.5" lift), the truck is clunking on extension on potholes and...

    Just installed Eibach Springs and +3 Deavers on my 2018. Question for those who have same setup.

    I just installed Factory Series 3.0s and experienced the same with about 1.5" of lift from stock using the preload adjuster. Its very noticeable offroad. I will be lowering the truck again to regain some negative travel.

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    Here are some install pics of Factory 3.0 Live Valves, SVC Upper Control Arms, and KHC stage 1 slot deletes. All done in my driveway. It was not easy, but I took my time and tried to be as patient as I could. Fox 3.0s 10 threads of preload (~ 13/16") Fronts - 8 3/4" fender gap to tire both...

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    As mentioned, I called Fox and they stated that the Live Valve 3.0 factory race C/Os come with no preload and are stock height. I installed mine with approximately 7/8" preload, after taking them to a shop with a spring compressor (before install to be clear - adjusting preload on the truck...

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    I called Fox today and they said no turns on the preload is stock height, and 1" of preload on the threads is 2" of additional ride height. I am going to try 3/4" of preload on the threads and will report back.
