Fox 3.0 Ride Height Adjustment Help

[ntm]

Good explanation; thanks!

I was more speaking to the masses of people who are on MID perch or equivalent height with 3.0's ect. No mater the choice of shocks, if your going to raise the ride height even a little bit (to an accepted - acceptable level), I still think it makes sense to make the geometry better by lowering the diff, as long as it doesn't start to interfere with full drop.

The thing is to maintain the same cv angles as stock, you must lower the diff by the same distance that you raise the truck. That's a significant amount.
In addition to clearance issues, now that you've moved the cv axle plane out of parallel with the lca, you will have plunge issues.
The right way to do it is a drop bracket for everything, ie a lift.
But that's all not necessary for mid perch, as at that height the iwe hub still fails before the cv joint.

Understood. I remeasured last night. I don't have the numbers in front of me but they were much closer to 50/50. More like 55/45. I'm right at 26.5 on both sides from hub to fender lip and I think I'm going to leave it alone.

Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated.

Do you have any photos of the leafs after a bit of drive compression and the set 3.0's?

Give me a couple of days. I'll get some pics once I get the truck back on the tires.
