The FOX 2.5" DSC Tuning Thread (Not Accutune)

[CarbonSteel]

@Spencer and I have been chatting about this, so wanted to put it in the wild.

What settings are you guys using for your DSCs? For clarity, I am counting the clicks after advancing from the dead space until the first actual detent meaning "X" clicks from the first detent.

Jeep Specs:

-- 5700# empty with full tank of gas
-- BFG KO2 LRC in 37x12.5x17 @ 30 PSI
-- Metal Cloak 3.5" Game Changer
-- Fox DSC 3.5" - 4.5"


On Road:

LSS (Low Speed Setting) = 3 clicks
HSS (High Speed Setting = 4 clicks

Off Road:

LSS (Low Speed Setting) = 4 clicks
HSS (High Speed Setting = 5 clicks

Thanks for putting this thread together @CarbonSteel

I have Metal Cloak 3.5” springs and bought the 4.5”-6” versions of the Fox Performance Elites.

Tires are 40” Cooper STT PRO’s at 28 psi.

The local city roads is what I drive on the most and they’re really rough.

Tried the following settings 3 low / 3 High, 4/4, 5/5, and 6/6. Settled on 5/5 for now. At 5/5 the Jeep doesn’t bobble much and the deeper/harder road imperfections are quick and the Jeep recovers quickly. Would like to find a setting that reduces the hard/fast impacts more than the 5/5 settings. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Dial down on your high-speed settings.

Took the high setting down to 1 and kept the low setting at 5. Been upping it one click every day. Got up to 4 and went back to 3. So current settings is 3 high and 5 low.

Found a clearance issue today. Appears the shock is making contact with the spring perch. Will remove the shocks and grind down the metal perch a little bit this weekend to make clearance.

You should look into buying offset mounts for the bottom versus grinding on your spring perch. As you articulate more I doubt you would get enough clearance by grinding without introducing a weak point.

I’m using the offset lower mounts by Metalcloak and improvised them as you did too. I don’t know of an upper offset mount.

Hmmm...what lift are you running?

I have more clearance than what you show:

I have the Metalcloak 3.5” springs, Clayton control arms, and soon adjustable sway bar links by Evo.

You do have more clearance than mine. Could be how the Jeep was put together is all.

Here’s mine for reference…….I’m using the evo lower relo brackets.

Thanks for sharing. I worked on the clearance issues last night and realized it’s probably due to where I have the front axle sitting with the lengths of the control arms.

I think ours are close to the same.

Yeah, I think spencer hit it on the head, his axle is probably positioned a little more forward ….

Yep; fully agree!

Hey there, any issues with the 40s hitting the front resi on the bumper?
