2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

Never had any issues with my Foxes when I had them on My only other choice would be the Kings I have now. You can't go wrong with either brands

 

@jvill4 seems pretty happy with his fox set up.

 

I haven't found a place to run them hard yet. But the times I have they are problematic. Better for over landing rather than going fast. I like camping so I don't want a total desert rig but since I'm 2wd it might be better to go that route.

 

Why are kings so much better?

 

FIFY

 

How bad is maintaining them?

 

Truth be told, the resi's give mad bling points! But unless you're driving fast for a long period of time you don't really need them. Think about the runs we usually do, drive for say an hour and then stop and hangout, drive and repeat. If you want to drive hard for 3+ hours then you should go with resis. Do you need them, no. But you won't experience shock fade as easily with them.
The resis hold the nitrogen allowing the body of the shock to hold more oil which helps keep the shock cooler.
Side note that may not be real, but it sounds good: if you have more oil and aren't running your shocks to the full potential you can also stretch out the rebuild interval longer being that there's more oil.

 

Lol yeah I'll miss the bling factor but if I keep my wheel wells full of dirt no will see anything anyway haha.

 

What Bumpstops are those? And are they just tack welded on top of the Ubolt plate?

 

They look like the Wheelers Superbumps. They bolt on top of the ubolt flip plate

 

Like others have said so far: wheeler's bumpstop with All Pro U-bolts flip kit on Dakars leaf pack. Everything is bolt on.

 

Kings with compression adjusters

 

A much as I love my Kings with adjusters I do like the Fox DSC. Kinda cool to have adjusters for high speed and low speed

 

Both brands are top of the line.. I enjoy my all fox setup with all pro standard leaf, I should get some bumpstops but it's so hard to bottom out when you drive within your susensions limits

 

Night and day difference with the bumpstops. It gives you real meaning of riding on clouds.

 

Question, big bear, are the yellow post sites north side of the lake pretty easy to get to? Me and my girl are going to try next Thursday, but will be getting there at night, just want to make sure I'm not biting off more than I can chew

 

Yes all are pretty easy to get to that I know of. Going to be cold though

 

I'm cool with cold, not sure about her, lol, I'll probably head up there Saturday for a quick dry run, or is that even necessary

 

And thanks jay

 

Your welcome and no it shouldn't be necessary, just be careful on some of the trails. Most of the main fire roads are fine but the rain thunder storms we had a few weeks ago did a number on a few of the trails.
