Popping out? They are brand new lol. Naw they are more then good.

Why do you say that? The little piece sticking out the top is a Grease Zerk and the blue is the boot for holding the grease.

Man, that is a manly looking setup. :)

Thanks bud! I'm loving it. Both ball joints look exactly the same.

I went over railroad tracks doing like 30 mph that I usually go around 10 mph lol. Didn't hardly feel them haha. It rides better then stock. Sit's higher and rides better. Couldn't ask for more. Loving it.

I have Fox 2.0 shocks on the rear also.

So with your Fox set , you remove the factory coils completely?

Do you reuse any part of your factory coil and spring assy ?

Do you reuse the upper spring seat like with your bilsteins?

What are the height adjustments for the Fox shock ?

LOL SORRY for.all the Q s but I'm really digging those shocks !

Yes you use the top assy part on top and bottom to bolt them in. These replace everything. Springs,shocks,and the BDS spacers.they can adjust up to 2" I believe? Mine are set at 7.5". They come preset at 6". You just turn the ring till you get them where you want. 5/8's turn = 1/2" of lift. Ask away bro. I don't mind at all and thank you. I absolutely love them.

I ran my Bilsteins for over 3 years. Awesome shocks. You have a great setup. I just needed more hight up front. My rear still had a good 2" rake. Hated it. Now it's right at level. Thanks bud. I still can't get past how well she rides lol.
