Has anyone actually installed these on a 2016 suburban or tahoe? I would be really curious of the results. I am currently 1.5" front leveled on my suburban but would like to go a little higher. Would be great to 2.5" front and 1" in the rear and keep a great ride.
Does Fox 2.0 Performance Coil Over provide lift?

I have the fox 2.0s on my yukon. I had an RC spacer kit and a 1.5 inch rear spacer...it rode like crap. The 2.0s are set at aroind 1.8 inches of lift out of the box but you can crank them up higher up to 3 inches with a set of aftermarket upper control arms. I would like to go up to 3 inches however my experience with rear lift says otherwise. I would prefer to buy longer springs for around 1.5 inches extra lift. Fox have 2 sets of rear shocks for these trucks. One can accomodate 0 to 1 inch of lift the other 0 - 2 inches. Im thinking to get a set of Total Chaos or Camburg UCA's and a differential drop kit if someone could just provide me with a reliable means of lifting the rear end.But as for the fox shocks...they're absolutely awesome. You can corner way harder and they really come into their own on rough terrain at low speeds ( 2.5 or 3.0 series with remote reservoirs are better for super tough terraim at high speeds but these will take the beating all day everyday no problem)

I would love to put some on my Tahoe, hopefully down the road. I have King 3.0 in the front and Fox's piggyback raptor shocks in the back on my f-150. Ride is night and day and my F150 is much smoother than my lifted Tahoe on gravel roads or bumpy terrain. The King coilovers have an adjustment to provide up to 2.5" of lift, Fox ones are 3" I believe. I can go 50 mph down a really bumpy gravel road with potholes and everything and not get as much as a rattle. Before with just a leveling kit, the ride on that road was so bad I thought the dash would fall apart.
I wouldn't say leveling are bad since everyone, including myself, uses them. They do throw off the geometry of the suspension and can result in ride quality degradation. In my experience, going for a suspension or body lift works out better but is obviously more expensive. I haven't dealt with the magnetic suspension much, not sure how the approach would be different.
