Anyone running front Fox 2.0 coil overs?

I just bought a set but haven't installed them yet. Just wondering if anyone has them on their 5th gen and how you like them. I Did a quick search and didn't find anything.

Fox and king make the finest shock components on the market. They'll blow icon out of the water in quality/fit and finish but they're valved for racing Offroad, not riding well like icons are.
 
I have a set of the 2.0 rear shocks waiting to be installed and I've been waiting almost 8 weeks for Fox to finish building the 2.5 DSC front coilovers, which has been a pain in the ass. Like most people I was initially drawn to Icon, but once I learned about the difference between progressive and regressive valving I decided that Fox, with progressive valving, would be better for how I mostly use my truck. I decided to spend the extra money for the dual speed compression adjustment since I figured that I could set the low-speed compression pretty soft, so that when I'm going slow and wheeling I will get smooth travel and good flex, but I'll set the high-speed compression much firmer so that I won't blow through all the travel as quickly when going fast, as well as better handling at speed when driving on the road. I should have everything installed in a month or two and will have many pics and more to report then.
 
Fox 2.0 is a great option and comparable to the Toytec in that price range. At 720 a pair, they are much better performing than toytec and offer the full height adjustment that other options in the price range dont have.
 
I couldn't be happier with the ride of my Fox 2.5's with the DSC adjusters. I wouldn't rule out the Fox brand as being too firm. If I'm not mistaken I've been hearing / reading for a while that Fox is introducing the DSC's to the 2.0 Factory series as well. Knowing them it will take a while - the wait for my Fox kit was also long - ordered in March and installed in early June.
 
For those interested, I will be making a GB feeler thread for all FOX shocks this evening. Will also try to bundle some UCA's and rear springs as well.

Stay tuned!

This is through [MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION], so you can bet those prices you were just quoted will get even better.
 
Finally got it done today. FYI do not leave the daystar spacers in on top of the new coil overs. We thought we would try something different by leaving them in and dialing down the Fox shocks in hopes of a better ride. Side by side the Fox and OEM shocks look about the same height but the compression in the coil must have been the kicker because the control arms rubbed at full extension.

Never use spacers on top of the top shock mount, ever. When you reach full compression, you will bottom out and destroy your shock before reaching the suspension bump stop.
