Fox IFP or DSC?

Trying to decide if I want/need the DSC remote res 2.5" or if the IFP would be fine . . .
Looking to either build a basic setup. Or go big and get TC upper and stock length lowers and run a bypass as well as their mid travel SUA. Has anyone had their IFP's fade on them? Im assuming the IFP is the same as PRO suspension just adjustable in height?

 

I

I don't believe so. I think the pro has an internal bypass system built into the body. I'll let someone confirm that though.

I've got the resi. They work great. So farfary longest run is 1:20 on +4" corrugated roads at high speed. Nothing felt at the wheel.

 

Isn't that what the IFP is?

 

The ifp is the floating piston. The bypass is physical channels in the body for the fluid to bypass.

 

I'm sure @*TRD* can help you with all your needs and questions. Shocks are their jam and can give you a good suggestion purely based on what you're looking to do.

 

ah. I wonder where I thought the IFP was just the generic PRO shock. I guess that kinda makes me want to get the resi. haha.

 

The ifp separates the oil and gas. In a RR, it's located in the reservoirs. You'll get more oil and gas volume, which means external forces won't effect it as much.

If it's within budget, at least do the 2.5 up front because those can be re-build into an RR model later if you decide.

To be honest though if I wasn't hammering the roads that I do, I would have just got some 2.5s up front and had them re-valved for an affordable price from @*TRD* right out of the box and called it a day. Even the OME and 5100 are good for general OR.

 

So the 2.5's you got weren't valved for what you needed? I figured they would be spot on since its made specifically for our trucks.

 

Depends on what you're planning on adding for weight. I have the adjusters so mine are fine. But for short change, they can make them better for your specific truck, if you want.

Out of the box they'll still be light-years better than stock.

 

If you have budgeted for remote reservoirs w/ DSC, I’d go with those. On the long run it is cheaper to rebuild (I believe), good to be overprepared than underprepared, last longer through abuse, and if you want to get rid of them, people will obviously pay more for the remote reservoirs used.
