Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

I have Fox 2.0’s installed in the rear and don’t feel comfortable with how my passenger resi is mounted close to my brake cable and leaf springs. Could someone reccomend where I could buy a resivoir mount kit?

My passenger side resi is towards the front of the truck. Would turning it the other way provide enough clearance?

 

Could you post a picture of what you're talking about?

 

I used the Fox frame mount. It's okay but in hindsight I'd make my own for <$5.

 

I feel that my resis will come in contact with the brake line or leaf spring at full stuff. I’m considering a resi mount like this, I’ve found a Fox resi mount on ebay for $40 but am wondering if theres a cheaper seller or better way to mount the resi.

Did it require drilling?

 

Yes. 2 holes per side. Just FYI:
You can spin your shock while it's fully installed to rotate where the hose is facing as it comes out of the shock. Also, you can loosen the Allen bolt that holds the clamp in place and spin the piggyback mount to get the resi right where you want it.

 

I’ve moved the clamp around a few times and still feel a little uncomforatble. I can get pretty OCD about things, as you saw in my other Fox thread lol

 

Me too and that's why I went to the frame mount. It was the only way I felt comfortable that the line/resi wouldn't rub the upper shock mount, frame, spring or get snagged by the fire.

 

For those who use the clamps, do you have your passenger resis towards the front or rear of the truck?

 

Front

 

You have any issues with your brake line rubbing your resi?

 

I did, so I adjusted it slightly and have been good ever since.

 

Both sides to the rear. Also allows for a roost shield on passenger side.

 

Got pictures of your passenger side?

 

In like sin.

20.5" fronts before +1/8" for passenger.

Now at 23 less an 1/8" on driver.

+2.5" hub to fender in the end

1-3/4" fr 1-13/16" fL threads on coils.

24 1/2" in the rear.


Everything in the front look all set? Got 2.5" , not sure if I should drop it to 2" or just let the spring settle and do it later.

Thanks fellas. Happy spring

 

Update for the last post ^

 

Your front will definitely settle some.

 

Counting on it. I'll give it a month and check up on everything. I'd like to keep about an 1.5" of rake empty because I ride with about 400lbs on the regular.

 

Not right now. I am out of town this week. I can post a pic when I get back this weekend.

 

Looks great! I was around 2.5” initially as well and settled to ~1” after two weeks. Just waiting on my sliders to come in so I can crank them up.
