    Mine feel that way but I also have e rated tires, so I was chalking it up to the tires more than suspension. Maybe I’m wrong though.

    Not jarring. But I think of it like driving a sports car, it's firm and sticks to the road. Not a Cadillac that floats around. Stiff suspensions keep you in control.

    Yup. I think it helps to soften up the high speed knob and keep the low speed a little firmer.

    Have been running the high speed softest, will try to firm up the low... Think I have some shot lca bushings as a monkey wrench into everything as well....

    Is your swaybar on or off?

    Off now.. have played around with every setting. Have had them revaled 3 times now... I think my lca bushings are a major player... Maybe ball joints.. ordering the energy suspension ones for now. Take a look...

    Yea if the bolts are seized your also not getting the full travel of those shocks. I had these on my second gen and now 3rd gen and they are about the same ride wise. My second gen had brand new LCAs and a winch/bumper so they were about the same weight. I wanna say that the ride is slightly softer now but that’s probably just the off road having the smaller sway bar.

    Aligent places have not mentioned seized bolts... The energy suspension replacements seem Linda like a pita to do... But man, cheaper than total chaos lcas and better quality than Moog replacements... Maight as well get some cam bolts just in case!!

    I'm also joining the fox family after years of riding their mountain bike suspension. I work in the bike industry and got a great ep deal on 2.5s front and rear. I'm putting these on my 2018 TRD OR.

    Hoping someone on this thread can recommend the best AAL kit. I only want a 1.5 lift. Likely going to keep the stock wheels for a while and do UCAs in the future.

    Please send me your recommendations for aal kit for 1.5".

    Also if you know of any good and reasonable off road shops in the North Bay area please let know. Having a hard time finding a shop that knows what they are talking about. Thanks!!!!

    @RangerComa I would do it myself but I dont have a place to do the work. I rather find someone who has done this before so that the install is done right the first time.

    Nope. Pot holes should be in the high speed movement anyways. I'd like to say I'm at 5-6 for L and 3 from the top on HS. 34psi c load tires. Racks and rtt.

    theres a few of us in the north bay who like riding bicycles who have done our own and could help... If you want a shop though, I trust Able Tire and Brake in Novato.

    @Rjparnow don't leave it up to a shop locally to know what they are doing. Do your research and order the right stuff from DSM, Accutue or Headstrong. Then ask the NorCal Fam to help with install on the next mod day. You'll know how to repair things too when it comes time for that too.

    @RangerComa thanks man. I didnt even think that there were folks out there who are down to help. How do I find out about the next mod day. I talked to my contact at fox and still looking at another month of back order for the 2.5's. Gives me some time to save up for the AAL and talk to the distributors you mentioned to make sure I am set up with the right parts.
