    The biggest reason someone should go with Fox vs Icon or King...resale value. The same reason Toyota went with Fox. No one knows who King, Icon, or OME are. Everyone knows Fox Racing. Technology, craftsmanship, and price are neck & neck anyway. Resale value! Selling point!

    Sweet purchase OP. I gave a test drive up by the lakes region in NH this spring when there was still snow and pot holes you could hide milk jugs in all over the road. I remember being impressed with the tracking and stability with them as I dodged and plowed through them

    And That was compared to my gen 2 and my current OR.

    Replacing my rear leaf springs to a Heavy Duty Dakar leaf pack that inherently has a 2" lift. What is the compressed and uncompressed length of the trd pro rear shocks? I can measure this if I take mine apart, but if someone already has, it saves me some time.

    Not to dig up an old thread, but just installed TRD Pro Fox Shocks to my 2018 Sport, and I'm experiencing the rumble strip effect. It only seems to happen at 30-45 MPH. Only seems to happen while on the gas. It's not like it happens more or less while breaking. Never had any vibrations prior to this. Running stock 265/70/17 tires on stock wheels. I've read all sorts of threads about this issue but given that I had no prior issues, I am guessing it's either the needle bearing that everyone talks about needs replacing or the angle of the drive shaft.

    ECGS bushing.

    That's an old quote of mine, when I lifted my 2016 I didn't even attempt to lift it without the ECGS bushing.

    So what is actually causing the vibration now?

    Nothing. I installed it along with my lift, so I have no vibration. When I had my 2013 I didn't install it during the original lift install and had to break it all back apart to put it in. I figured it was cheap insurance to do my 2016 while I had it apart.

    I guess what I mean is, what is causing the vibration that I am experiencing? If it is that needle bearing.
