I installed some Fox 3.2 on my truck today and they’re awesome!

Wait does the Fox 3.2 kits come with bump stops?

If so that’s awesome!
I have sdi top hats and a 1” rpg spacer for my 801a ‘24 and have been batting around getting the 3.2s. Im guessing with my top hats and spacers these 3.2s would then raise me up another 1/2” front and back correct?

If they don’t include them, and i need to purchase a set for front and back what’s the difference between hydraulic bump stops and bump stop spacers like the ones Index sells….

The 3.2s are just shocks. No other parts included.

You could install a bump stop spacer in conjunction with them which would give the truck the same travel specs as a 37 truck. Since the shocks are their own unit, you can’t use top hats with them. The Index bump stop spacers get installed between the stock rubber bump stop and the frame to increase the height of the bump stop. It makes the bump stop height identical to that of a 37 truck. Those you can install with the 3.2s because they are not part of the shock assembly. Hydraulic and pneumatic bump stop kits entirely replace the stock bump stops. The SVC ones are the only ones where you can choose between 37 or 35 bump stop height. To be honest, unless you’ve got weight in the bed, the gen 3 doesn’t really need bump stops in the rear. People would be really surprised how infrequently they bottom out the rear compared to the front.

I’ll be installing the Foutz rear bump stops as soon as I receive them, hopefully this week, or next. I am very close to the rated max payload. I’m excited to feel the results. I have a decent amount of front suspension parts at my shop that I might install this week. The Fox Factory front 3.2 coilovers, Foutz UCA’s, and Foutz tie rods. I’m working on setting up a time to get the rear cantilever setup installed as well. I enjoy working on my vehicles as much as I can, but I don’t feel comfortable installing that kit myself.

The beds on these trucks are so short and so far back on the truck that pretty much 100% of the weight in it goes straight to the rear axle. Any added weight rearward of the rear axle actually will remove weight from the front wheels.

Interesting on the rears. I did some wheeling and the rear end was pretty dang tucked and I had plenty of clearance. Wish I would have looked at the bump stops.
