Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

All 4 of my Fox Shocks are at my house, which has been taken over by my soon to be ex wife. I'll be installing them as soon as she is gone.

 

I think this thread pushed me from Icon to Fox! Hopefully be putting them on this summer. Anyone have experience with Accutune Offroad?

 

Yes I have experience with Accutune. Had them revalve my 6” lift Fox 2.5 resi’s. Talk to Ryan @*TRD* for more info.

 

I just ordered my leaf stack and Fox shocks from them, so far they've been very helpful and are very knowledgeable. They will also re valve your new shocks to your truck, I don't have mine yet but I did get my leaf pack from them and everything went well with that. I think these guys are going to give headstrong a run for their money, not bashing headstrong but these guys have taken it to the next level.

 

I was advised the Fox 2.5 ext. travel would be a good match for my set-up, which consisted of plate front bumper, winch, heavy 31M battery & sliders. The C/O's were only a good match for my set-up when it had none of that OR a factory front bumper! I won't say who advised me but be a wise shopper & shop around.

Should of pushed you from ICON to King!

 

Here are a couple

 

You really should slide that resi down quite a bit. While you're at it, rotate the shock so the hose isn't so close to the top shock mount bracketry.

 

Why slide it down? The hose actually clears by about 1/4 inch though it doesn't look that way in the pic.

 

You're putting undue stress on the hose and fittings, the "hook" that hose is creating is more likely to snag on something and the hose can be moved further away from the bracket. The shock is able to rotate while it's completely bolted and tightened. With just a 1/4" clearance it's more likely to make contact with that bracket.

 

I thought about turning the shock a little more outward but am concerned about my wheel hitting it at full compression. Another concern is having the resi contact the axle for being too low, however I read somewhere in another thread that aftermarket bumpstops would prevent this.

@cmbondo have you fully stuffed your rear passenger wheel with that shock setup?

 

Not fully but nothing comes close to hitting on everything I see.

 

I've got mine set up like cmbondo's. With the braided cable you're fine with those bends. At full stuff the tire clears plenty. Definitely don't want the axle and lines contacting the resi or mount during articulation, that would be a mess. But do watch where the shock mount meets the cable, you wouldn't want to rub there at all. I have superbumps and they work very well front and rear.

 

Long shot. My verniers are at work. Anyone got an OD on the smoothie body?

 

The 2.0s? Aren’t they 2”?

 

King uses 600lb springs too. It wouldn’t have helped with the added weight you have. Only thing that can help is heavier springs. The vendor should have advised you to go with a minimum of 650lbs maybe even 700s.

 

Depends if they're consider the 2" to be ID or OD. Could be either way and ID would be more relevant to volume capacity which could put the OD at 2-1/4

 

And that's why I asked. You're the man!

 

14", not 13", 600lbs. Not a big point but a point nonetheless.
