Wait until you get the front CO's then give the truck hell again.Here's a little amusing update for you! I took a drive off road today to give the new rear shocks a chance to work. Unfortunately, I completely forgot about all the months worth of empty beer bottles I'd thrown in the bed earlier today! I can't believe that I didn't break a single of the 106 bottles! I used a good amount of the available travel today and the rear end was tuned to its softest settings for low speed compression. I would like to remove the rear coils and see where in the travel do the bump stops contact the rear axle. So far I'm thrilled with the performance of these Fox shocks!

I can hardly wait!!!! They are due on September 8th and I'm hoping to have them installed on the 10th. Then I can really do some testing and post my observations!Nice. Can't wait to see the pics. Wait until you have them in your hands side by side. 2.5 shocks or CO's are massive as you know compare to the regular stuff. If you thougth the rear 2.5 Fox were big and heavy, wait for the CO's
How did the same RR crossing feel BEFORE you installed the Fox shocks?Apologies if this is against forum rules but here's a little video of me driving at speed over a railroad crossing with the new rear shocks. https://youtu.be/ST8Xa-0d9TY
To be honest, I only found that particular crossing after having the new shocks installed. I can definitely feel a difference in the valving vs the Bilstein's. My Fox's feel like they absorb washboard roads better and so far they feel bottomless. Being a 2.5 shock they have more inherent friction but the more that I break them in, the more supple the ride is getting. Earlier today I drove over a set of speed bumps I'm very familiar with and I didn't feel the rear end go over them at all! The front Bilstein's set at 2.8 lift definitely let me feel them!How did the same RR crossing feel BEFORE you installed the Fox shocks?
How are you liking them? I'm having so much fun tuning the compression and driving over things that would destroy stock shocks! LOLView attachment 470722
I saw it was a issue when I installed mine. So I didn’t use all 3 mounting points. I think I’m only using 1 bolt to hold it in.
