Fox 2.5 Factory preset + weight compensation

[in_an_instant]

Howdy folks, I just got my factory 2.5 w/ resi for the front. Called Fox and the tech. mentioned the preset being 2". He said if I wanted to pick up another inch, I'd lower the collar .5". I've got the long travel version and UCAs.

Fairly straight forward but to compensate for:

+ 100lb. of front bumper w/ winch
:: not directly over front but ::
+ 90lb. of rockers
+ 70lb. of sliders (aluminum)

I'm thinking of adjusting them 3/4" so basically 1/2" to get to 3" and then another 1/4" to compensate for additional weight and settling.

I'm trying to be as close to where I'd like to be on the first shot since adjusting these particular coils post install is a PITA without pulling them back off.

I realize these numbers are basic but I just want to run this by folks for a sanity check. I've searched on and off for the past few days and honestly I'm feeling left with more questions hah.

Thanks in advance!!!

For anyone who happens to stumble across this post wondering the same, I ended up going with Wheeler's (Eibach) 1" rear spring and having Mount Zion add another .5" load on the front coilovers for a total targeted front lift of 2.75" with a slight rake. The results were near dead nuts on.
