Fox Live 3.0 Race with preload and ICON UCA. I did add one full turn on the driver side

Awesome to do this without having to take it to the dealership. In the short 5 mile run, I didn’t notice any difference. Stock K02 tires with 6k miles

This calibration is for the 2019+ with OEM FOX Live Valve shocks.

So it is true that the shocks need to be recalibrated after putting taller coils on up front? I put Geisers on a year ago and I heard both yes and no on recalibration need. Can Ford do it?

I did mine today with forscan but in my haste I didn't know how to find the current ride height before I reset it.. I have stock shocks with eibachs and +3 deavers

it seems to ride a bit smoother I think. I'd assume the higher it thinks it is, the more the valve is tightened up on the compression side preparing for landing..

I think this should be reset anytime the ride height is changed no matter what method is used, so the live valve is neutral, or open.. glad to see it was added in forscan rather than paying the dealer an hour labor

Reset mine today as well. Not a noticeable difference but at least I know we have that option now with forscan when all the dealers in my area wouldn't even consider doing the recalibration.

They are the upgraded Live shocks (worlds apart from the Eibach option, which I would never do) but they still use the truck’s terrain mode system just like the stock one and is controlled by them, so recalibration is still needed if the front is raised over stock

Nice! I didn’t realize they interacted with the terrain mode.

Your reading will definitely be off after installing Geiser springs. My readings showed me being off by 1.8 inches on both sides in the front. Your dealer should be able to do the re-calibration, but the two dealers closest to me knew nothing about it and kept referring me to off-road shops. I am really glad that I was finally able to do it on my own with Forscan even though re-calibrating did not have any noticeable differences for street use.
