The 2 inch longer shock may be enough to drop a coil when flexed out, not sure.Got my shock off, it's 30.05" fully extended from mounts OC, which means I have the 5 inch spring in the back. Brings me to a question, the current shock I run from BDS has the following specs...
BDS-Fox 2.0 #98224759 extended - 30.05" compressed - 18.45" travel - 11.60"
Can I run either of these directly from fox as replacements? I assume the longer one is ok?
Fox 2.0 #985-24-020 extended - 29.55" compressed - 18.45" travel - 11.10"
Fox 2.0 #985-24-024 extended - 31.75" compressed - 19.65" travel -12.10"
I'd imagine BDS has custom lengths for a reason, but then again, I'd imagine those longer shocks will still work. Maybe the longer ones won't quite be in the sweet spot?
I'm finding some sweet deals on 2.0s with reservoir and 2.5s as well that are tempting and have the similar or same specs as the 2nd pair of fox I lifted.
It also looks like the zone 98450759 have the exact same specs as the BDS 2.0s for the 6 inch lift. Anybody know if there's a difference besides the BDS name on the shock? The zone ones are quite a bit cheaper, more than half the price. May just go with those.
BDS uses the Performance shocks I think and Zone uses the Adventure shocks, the Adventure is an inferior shock.
Maybe the Fox 985-24-026? They're a little longer than the ones you have now but shorter than the longer ones you're looking at.
