Correct. They are for the Gen 1. I thought they were possible the same as the Gen 2 so I posted here too. Sorry. Couldn’t get an answer from anyone in the Gen 1 forum and I was trying to finish the job.

Im installing this week, I would LOVE for someone with Deaver +3's in the rear to measure their preload in the front for level. I know I may have to adjuyst later, but it would be nice to get a preliminary setting off the truck.

Hopefully installing this weekend if the rest of the hardware shows up tomorrow!

I have +2 Deavers and with the preload set the way fox sets them my truck is level. I’d say you need another inch or so.

I bought mine used (1,500 miles on them) so I don't trust the setting, and also, judging by pictures, they are turned way down.

It is noted in the fox documentation that it is a 2:1 ratio, so to raise the front 1" you increase preload by 1/2".
