Metalcloak 3.5 + Fox 2.0's - 3.5/4 or 4.5/6?

[techteacher]

I've been running the rocksports for a while and they are ready to go. Might just buy them again, but also looking at getting something that may ride better.

Anyone pairing the Fox 2.0 4.5-6 inch lift front shocks with the Metalcloak 3.5 springs?

The extended compressed (31.5/18.9) are only a bit longer than the rocksports (30/17.7).

The 3.5-4 extended/compressed are 29/17.4 - trading off some compression for extension.

What length are the metal cloak springs? Also are you doing drive shafts? Given that the gc is on the short side of 3.5 the 3.5-4 is probably a better fit to keep the rears seated.

I have a 1310 front driveshaft. Get a lot of great flex on my current setup.

Metalcloak 3.5 springs are 22" free length.

Hate my Fox 2.0 can't wait to get rid of them.

Too soft? What would you put on next?

Even with 3.5-4 you are gonna be pushing it on the rears as the amount of travel back there is amazing. At full droop like on a lift you are gonna risk unseating even with the 3.5-4 on the backs. The free length is comparable to the Claytons and 3.5-4 can let the spring unseat in the rear if on a lift.

On the front the springs are fairly captured so you can get away with a longer shock though.

I also have fox 2.0s and I'm not gonna say I hate them, but I do want to go with some falcon sp2 3.3s or fox 2.5's as they're a bit soft on the road for my liking.

They were fine at first but they got very worn out and can't control the axle. 35s on mostly highway.

Looking at Accutune King 2.5 piggyback. Not adjustable, because don't need that really. But that's a decently big up price to Fox 2.0 but not as high as you can go. Price is each.
