Picked up the same stuff last week. Part guys looked up my VIN on his comptuer.

Picked up two cases Mercon LV, did transfer case yesterday first. I believe power steering pump uses mercon LV too, right? Next will be transmission. How's the dorman oil pan? Has a drain plug really helps to do a clean job.

I am doing it, waiting on the tires to come in. Street to moderate offroad seem OK without pinch weld mod but I am willing to do if necessary.

37 bfg was ok without pinch weld mod?

Cancelled appointment. Confirmed they actually don't use FORD rotunda machine, and don't take any responsibility if something goes wrong after. I will dorp the pan do the old way then. Still considering pan with drain plug, but those deep pan seems probably has potential clearence issue.

Only advantage would be less messy with a drain plug. How's the Dorman pan?

They heat up the oil not the truck right? :Big Laugh: beat the transmission until it reaches temp. I am going to ask them drop the pan change filter as well, so maybe a good time to get a new pan with drain plug? any good replacement pan?

Thanks. All open now. Guess I will try close HS from one click up, leave LS open.

They are stiffer, but in a good way I feel. More planted on the ground. Also a bit noisy (I have front only for now), like something loose, made me wonder if I forgot to bolt something back on. I think it's a good upgrade even for on-road drive only. Now looking to upgrade the rear too.

Should I ask them to change filter at the same time? Truck has 25k. Dropping pan can only drain less than half of the oil, right? My transmission has no problem, just trying to keep it at top condition.

ICON RXT has unique mounting points so travel is longer and remote reservoir will be better than piggyback, right?

I am so tempted to do it. Had an appointment set up already, but still have time to think about it. My milage is pretty low, about 25k. But still, it's a 7 years old truck. With the money and time spent on this truck, I want to keep the truck long term, beside I do like it a lot. Trying to keep...

How about ICON ZETA 3.0?

Which one is the quietest among FOX/KING/ICON. I am assuming it's ok to mix match front and rear with different brand.

Dealer says they have a special machine to flush all the fluid out of transmission. Any downside to that? Did a quick google serach, seems some people has problem with flushing transmission, and some say good things about it.

I am still a bit confused on those two dials. So let me say it this way, to conquer potholes, which dial should I focus on?

Only option 2 left for me, lol... don't want to go back to stock wheel and fitting fiberglass fender is pita I heard. Where it rubs the most? with 0 offset wheel I guess it would be fender flare? and I guess it would only rub when offroading?

I have Fox 3.0 front (proabaly raised front 1.5inch), Deaver +2 rear, Method NV 17inch wheels. Going to replace stock KO tires with KO2 37x12.5x17. Any problems going to have with this setup? rubbing?

Confirmed, here's the reply from FOX: "No, the lock ring is for the shock cap and should not be adjusted. The pinch bolt for the preload ring, torque setting for 1/4-28 X 1.50 Socket Head Cap Screw 12 ft lbs"

damnit, I hope there's NO set screws somewhere... no way to move it by hand, what kind of tool to use?

Do you suppose to move this ring down against pre-load ring?

Got it installed today. Buddy lets me use their shop so ajusted pre-load down 9 threads on bench compressor. That raised the truck 2inch. Down to 1.75inch after a short drive. Exactly the height I wanted so very happy with the look. Test drive full open on DSC, feels better than OEM shock with...

The foxs are here. Had to pick them up myself from carrier's warehouse. They refused to deliver claiming "the shipment is too heavy to be delievered" :wtf:why would you accept a shipment that is too heavy to be delivered at the first place... Anyways, to experienced guys, please take a look...

Thanks! I hope to get the height right in one shot. Seems like adjust height after install is still not a quick job.

Got the tracking number, FOX 3.0 is on the way, should arrive early next week. Preparing myself for install so looking for tips/tricks, especially height pre-set. Thanks!
