It seems I am the 1st truck to have them without combining them with another lift (like CST, Rancho, etc.), and the 1st 2wd of any configuration (other than Greg himself) to have the coilovers.
That's surprising since the un-lifted versions are only available on the 2wd. [The lifted version is available for both 2wd and 4x4].

But a lot of people want lifted if they are going to spend the bucks. Lifted does make sense for trails and hill climbing, because of the better approach and departure angles. The actual ground clearance to lowest point is tire-based so a 35" tire is only an inch more than a 33" tire.

For general purpose, and fairly decent dirt road, the Fox coil overs sound trick. For us un-lifted 4x4s, we will have to wait for the Donahoe coil overs, or maybe the Sway-a-way/Racerunners.
