Fox Shocks

[Lyle Longboat]

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has run these fox shocks on their lifted trucks.

We have sold a pretty large amount of these. They are very good. Ride much better than stock and perform very well.

Let us know if we can help, we have them in stock. Message me for a quote

A pair will be listed for sale here (used) 15-20k miles, no rust, in good condition here soon!

I've had them on for 3 weeks or so. The on-road ride is good; firm but absorbs small stuff that would cause road chatter, and they eat up bumps and holes at speed. Actually, the faster you drive, the better they work, especially offroad. You can haul ass down rough dirt roads and it feels like that's what the truck was meant to be doing all along.

Also, the Fox rebuild interval is longer than Icon and much cheaper @ $75/shock.

Here's my truck with the Fox coilovers in the front and Fox/Icon in the rear.

looks great, especially with those blue Core 4x4 control arms!

Yep! The rear end is super solid. I had no idea there was flex and give with the stock linkage; but you can really tell now. I like how the truck is kind of a sleeper. It still looks pretty stock; but it can handle pretty well offroad.

Very common response to the Core 4x4 products. Many dont realize what a big/beneficial upgrade it actually is to swap out the rear control arms and panhard bar.

Great looking truck, and the stance is perfect. Can you take pics of the 4 corners underneath, to see the Fox's installed, and the new rear control arms and bar?

I agree!
They’re soft when going over a speed bump in a parking lot slowly. But really firm up when hitting a dip or bump fast.
I’ve been saying it since the day I installed mine, the 5100’s absolutely cannot compete with an actual coilover like Fox, King, Icon, etc. When those guys talk about how the 5100’s ride great Offroad, they haven’t had the joy of riding in my truck.

Now the Fox 2.5 with the DSC has me taking the rough road in and out of the job site. Just for fun.

Glad you like them the difference is day and night, have you played with the DSC yet ?

Just a little. Not much. I plan on adjusting the preload on the springs Friday after work or Saturday morning. Then once that’s set, I’ll go into the settings more.
I do know all the way left to right on high speed compression is HUGE! That all I’ve really messed with. But I’ve kept it at its current setting for about the past week. Mostly knowing it’s all going to change here in a few days.

I will try to get something; but don't know when. I'm in the process of prepping for the hurricane and then it will be...well...the hurricane, lol. Realistically, it will be later next week.

No problem. Hope all goes well and everyone is safe. Take care

ps My parents had a home in Panama City, FL for 30+ years, I know the feeling. Praying for all
