UPDATE: Fox Suspension on the way

[thkbaron]

Talked to a few different folks about issues with the reservoirs being mounted with the provided clamp from fox. Was told guys put them up out the way as a preference but not necessary. As you can see, it is necessary. Was ultimately able to position them to make me comfortable driving it until the reservoir mounts from Thuren arrive. However at full lock, they hit. This question was asked and got a vague answer or I’d otherwise would have had them come in with the coils and be done with it right now.

Turn them back. Mine don’t have an issue. I have some thuren brackets if you need them

Here is mine.

Just around the corner is a significant low lying bridge at the bottom of a steep hill. Usually would go over it around 35-40. Hit it last night at 60 and she ate it up clean!

Hahaha haha awesome. Once I got my suspension done I went to the sand dunes. My wife has never been out on them . She was white knuckles a few times and I got yelled at when she looked over and we were doing 80 over a small whoop section lmao. It might take a minute to settle in for the small bumps but you can tell the difference when you really need it.

Thuren remote reservoir mounting brackets are next. I’d like to put their front and rear track bars as well if it’ll make a noticeable difference. From here, Baja designs fog light kit, rear S2 kit, Borla S type exhaust, and either AFE or SB intake.

I installed with these brackets. Look pretty clean and people always double take looking at the resivors.

They are as far turned back as they will go brother. The mounts would be awesome. Where are you located? Also, what tires are you running?

Looks real good man.

Looks awesome. You will have to give us feed back of your camping trip and see how it rides after it breaks in a little.

 

[olyelr]

^^^^yep.

Looks great!

Too easy. Don’t know if it’s psychological but it already feels like it’s getting smoother.

I fought my thuren leaf springs took for ever to settle in. Spring packs were assembled to tight making it take longer. It I still notice some quirks vs stock but overall performance way better than stock. I think it's one of those things where you spent a lot of money and notice the imperfections right from the start.

Got em dialed in on 8, smooth smooth smooth

yeah it's gotta be the offset difference is why my fox mounts work.

hey you running the 1/2" over stock coils or the 1.5? If the 1/2" what are your measurements from center of hub to the fender well?

1/2”

 

[thkbaron]

Check your measurements. Mine are shorter than what Thuren expected them to be

 

[rgrbobbyedwards]

Barely any squat and rides/pulls like a dream now.

I’m curious on measurements too if anyone happened to take them, should have measured before I had mine done. I did the Fox shocks and 1/2” on the front (and coil/shock on the back) and I swear the front is a little lower now (pre Thuren is the pic with tires in it). Probably just the lighting/in my head. Otherwise ride is great and I’m very happy with it.

Edit - may just be the weight of the five tires in the back pushing it down that makes the front end look higher

what does yours measure now center of hubs to the bottom of flare? measuring that way takes tire height out of the equation.

No. The front is definitely lower now. Pretty sure his .5” and 1.5” pw spring measurements came from the pre ‘19 models, which were not quite as high in the front.

Odd to see it actually got a smidge lower though.
