Replacement rear shock for Fox 2.0 BDS 4" lift.

[Keeperswilly]

Hey guys I'm just looking to see what good options are for replacing the fox 2.0's on my 2015 ram 1500 with 4" BDS lift. I went with the 3" spring option and upgraded fox shocks and after sitting on the garage most of its life and only 48,000km of easy driving one of them is pooched and leaking oil everywhere. I cant find a local shop to rebuild them and after discussions with a shop that puts lifts in here he recommended I go with Bilstiens. I'm just wondering which ones would work with this lift? Either that or I just order the NX2 BDS shocks. Thanks!

I have the 3” springs as well ... Had the Zone shocks back there for a while, and one blew ... I put the Pro Comp Pro Runner ZX2001’s back there this year, and I have been happy with them so far ... $150 a pair at 4WP

I have a dealer 4-inch RC lift on a 2014 that has the Bilstein 5125 shocks #33-185569 along with bushing kit #77-87027
Was recommended by Wayne Murray from Superlift 4 years ago

The cheap Fox 2.0 shocks (Adventure series) can't be rebuilt. Only the race series can. Rebuild of a 2.0 race Fox shock without res i think is like $100 for both.
I'm not sure what you have now but I think the BDS Fox 2.0 for the 3" springs part# is 98224758
I'm not familiar with BDS options and i have no idea what they sell adventure or race series but if they say adventure, those are they throw away ones once they're toasted.

If you get the Bil 5125's make sure you get 2-bushing kits......1-kit is for 1 shock
These shocks were made for a 3/4 ton vrs 1/2 ton with lift
The bushing kit contains bushing & sleeve for smaller bolt on the 1/2 ton

Just get the replacement Fox Shocks part # 98224758 They are double the price of billsteins for a reason.
Hit up @Nick@GotExhaust and he will hook you up with a great deal and ensure you get the right parts

Looks like Fox #98224758 is what he had on his truck that 1 is now leaking.......if that happened to me I don't think I would buy the same ones again but then the least time & money involved would be to replace the damaged Fox only.
