So, how many of these sets have been sold total? Seems like more people would've come back and posted more feedback on how the install went, what they used, etc. I know we have plenty of input, but it seems like there's been at least 3 runs or more?
I sure as heck will when I ever get mine on. For now I'll say all I can. It was packaged excellently with a mix of foam wrapping and newspaper filler and the powedercoat looks very nice and done right. So, for what all that's worth. It sure is nice to look at.

UPDATE:
I'm officially going first come, first serve. I've recieved no response from guys in weeks, and I've tried to directly contact everyone. I have to get these things moved.
PM me if you don't have the payment info and would like to grab a set. I will post updates here on what's left.
Thanks

Most stock guys have better luck with a 10" spring setup.
However, maybe that lighter weight 12" setup would still work well.

Some guys have been running into issues running a 12" tall spring on a stock height truck. Those are the same height that a Superlifted or RCD Lifted truck runs.

Typically the 'rule of thumb' is the springs should be twice the length of the shock travel. However, Fox suggests a 12" spring with a 5" coilover - so that's why they normally roll together.
When I was going to gear up for it - I purchased a 10" spring setup as a 'backup' just in case.

Most vendors of the 'major' brands (Fox, King, Bilstein, etc.) are all going to be about the same price....really comes down to service at that point.

Yeah, I just emailed them and they replied almost right away. I was asking about the extended eyelets and valving. They told me i'd only pay cost of the eyelets and install of those and valving was free before they shipped them. They also said they work with these conversions for the explorer and rangers a lot and have several valving options that work well depending on the application so i'll probably be going with them.

I know when I was trying to figure this out over two years ago, Sonny (the owner) was a great help.

Sorry guys, I was out of town for a few days and haven't been on here at all. The mobile app isn't really working well most of the time. It shows me that I have messages or posts in my subscribed threads, but won't show the list. Hopefully they get that fixed soon.
Moneypit, thanks for the pic post! I'm glad everyone is pleased with these and I was able to fill the need here.

If you get the Fox shocks and extended eyelets, definitely do NOT get the 12" springs. The link that logan03CO posted showing the problems getrdone52 had shows exactly why. At the lowest possible preload setting, he was sitting too high and experiencing coil rub on the upper control arm (not to mention his CV joints and ball joints would wear out very quickly if he were to drive around like that).
I would be able to get away with 12" springs on my setup because I used different shocks, and custom made my extended rod ends, which are shorter than the Fox extended rod ends, so they don't push the ride height up as high. However, I still would not recommend it to someone on a stock truck.
