Product Information

A front coilover for the 2021-2023 Ford F-150 that swaps the factory front damper for a Fox 3.2 Factory Race Live Valve unit with 2-2.5in of lift. The point is a truck that is set up for the interstate on Monday and the dunes on Saturday without you touching a clicker in between. Live Valve monitors the terrain and your driver inputs, then adjusts the damping on the fly.

Why Upgrade to Live Valve

Per Fox, here is what Live Valve changes on the truck:

  • The suspension adapts to the road instead of waiting for you. Live Valve monitors terrain and your driver inputs 400 times a second and adjusts the damping to suit that moment.
  • One setup for everything. Pavement, gravel road, rock crawling and everything in between, without stopping to re-tune the shocks between surfaces.
  • Fox describes Live Valve as controlling damping at all four corners of the vehicle, so the whole truck reacts to a change in surface. This listing is the front coilover only, so four-corner control depends on the rear running Live Valve as well.
  • Ride height goes up. This front coilover is built for 2-2.5in of lift, which changes the stance up front.

Fitment Notes

Fits 2021-2023 Ford F-150 in Base, Raptor and Tremor trims. This is the front coilover only. Does not fit the F-150 Lightning or the Raptor R. [VERIFY: cab configuration, the title says SuperCrew and our coverage data does not confirm other cabs.]

Install and Honest Talk

This is a front coilover, so the factory front damper and spring assembly comes off and this unit goes in its place. Live Valve monitors terrain and driver inputs and adapts the damping as you drive, so treat this as more than a plain shock swap: there is a system on the truck that has to be set up to make it work, and what that involves is not confirmed here. Plan on an alignment afterwards, since you are changing ride height by 2-2.5in. [VERIFY: install steps and hardware, what the Live Valve system needs on the truck to function, whether the factory upper mount is reused, tools or lift needed, re-torque interval.]

Honest talk: adaptive damping is a lot of suspension for a truck that never leaves pavement, and you pay for that capability whether you use it or not. If most of your miles are on the highway, decide whether it is worth it to you. This is a front-only lift, so check how the truck will sit front to rear before you buy, and decide whether you want the rear to match. What else you need: [VERIFY: Live Valve controller and wiring, matching rear shocks, supporting hardware in the box, alignment.]

No Robots. Just Car People.

Buying parts for your Mustang or F-150 should not feel like homework. Too many stores bury you in a giant catalog, slap the same distributor description on every product, and leave you guessing whether it even fits.


We do it the other way. We carry the brands you already trust, we tell you what a part actually does, and we give you the truth about the tradeoffs before you spend a dollar. Drone on that exhaust. Ride quality on those springs. Whether you need a tune. The stuff the big catalogs leave out.
