    Look at the 120 link I posted, dude had King make an ~11" shock with stock mounts, could do bypass as well if you wanted.

    I saw the OE replacement bypasses which i've put thought into as well. I might do that route to have a little more adjust-ability to dial in. Unless stock replacement bypasses seems like overkill or not worth it for my application.

    90% on road daily driver but i do hit Pismo hard and i hit the fire road trails hard. My fox's that are removed were so incredibly harsh and blown, id almost expect anything to feel better at this point.

    Dang that does sound fun at all! I haven't tried recovery with a hi lift yet but I think I would get frustrated.

    I have heard that about the jacks. That's one reason I haven't mounted mine outside the vehicle. Need to figure out somewhere to mount it

    Mine is usually wrapped up in the back because I hate the rattling of it lol. They are temperamental from what I've heard lol

    I would recommend that you clean it well and be very light on the lube. Only on the pins before you insert them. The dust out here will only cake on as you drive. I also mount mine on the roof rack only when wheeling. It has three bolts sticking up. I sandwich it between urethane bushings and have plastic wing nuts to hold it down tight.

    I have had this knockoff one for many years and recently rebuilt it and painted it to match my ride.
