Thanks for the information. I just emailed them to get a price for this setup. I would rather just unbolt the stock setup and bolt in the new setup than have to pull the whole coilover setup apart.

 

FYI

i emailed donahoe racing last night to find out the release date for their lift, here's their response...

"We will be coming out with our spacer lift in about a month and the coilover kit will be out in about 2.5 months. We will also be coming out with a 6 inch kit, but it takes so much development to finish this kit that it wont be out for 7 months."

i was going to wait for the skyjacker 3" lift but i think i like the donahoe. they both replace the stock coilovers but i like the adjustability of the donahoe units. i would rather replace the stock coilovers than mess around with spring spacers and the like. now i just have to figure out what to do with my autospring spacers that i haven't installed yet.

 

how are these adjustable? Is it through an air system which you control inside the cab (like some Rancho systems) or is it an adjustment you make with the wheels off?

 

if it is like the setup for their toyota lifts, i'm pretty sure the outer body of the shock is threaded and you adjust a collar with a spanner wrench to get the desired lift. i guess it's the same basic idea as the daystar like kits with a coil spacer but adjustable without strut disassembly or removal from the truck once the new coilovers are installed. take a look at the install instructions for the toyota's. i'm guessing the install and adjustment for ford will be the same or really close.

That Donahoe looks like a nice kit. I wonder if they'll have some matched rear shocks to go with those fronts.

 

Yea, me too! I want to replace those shocks. The FX4's used to have Rancho's installed. I don't know what's on there now. All I know they are black and not red and white like Ranchos.

I like the adjustable coil over idea. You can "dial-in" the actual lift you want in the front.

 

Yeah, adjustable coilovers are gonna be a hot product for the new F-150's. Pro Comp gives you the option of replacement adjustable coilovers with their lift. I beleive that Rancho is coming out with an adjustable coilover also.
