Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

I have not reached out to them just yet.

I put on the Fox Mid Travel Suspension Kit, Stage 2. The only difference is that I went with the Fox 2.0 with LSC.
Front: Fox 2.5 Coilover w/resi.
Back: Fox 2.0 w/resi & LSC.
Icon Mini Pakc
Icon Delta joint.

 

Ok, so the rear looks about right for a add a leaf. Front coilovers are adjustable and you may need to adjust to get the lift height desired.

Please send us a message if you have any other specific questions, happy to help

 

Ah... Thank you. Yes, the back looks about right. It was just the front that wasn't what I expected.

I suspected that I might need to adjust the coilovers.

I made a bad assumption that they might have been set by you. I'm going to look into setting that this weekend.

Thanks again.

 

I am now a really happy Fox Life member. To be fair, I did have Fox on my TRD Pro. I'm just upgraded now.







Thanks again to @AccuTune Offroad for the setup and help. I had the front coilovers adjusted for ride height and lift this morning. It sits and rides great. I now have 2 1/4" above the Pro height, in the front. My truck sits level as I was expecting.

 

Edit: Got this resolved. Thanks @TMFF

Hey everyone,

Had my 14s installed this week but it looks like the fittings on the reservoir are pointing down instead of up so that the reservoirs wont sit properly in the brackets. My installer said he thinks I might be able loosen the o-ring fitting at the shock body and rotate the hose so that the reservoir fitting points up, but looking at the link below, it looks like the JIC fitting would need to be loosened in order to accomplish this with the swivel nut.

Can anyone confirm if it's even possible to do this with everything on the truck, and the correct way to do it without blowing oil everywhere?

Text me, I'm in the shop today to adjust that for ya.

 

@AccuTune Offroad

Just unboxed my Accutune 2.5 DSC rears tonight. Am I correct in saying these reservoirs are upside down? Based on the pics on the Accutune website and the fact the Fox stickers are upside down I think they are. I'd just loosen a fitting and try to rotate them, but I don't see how without breaking a JIC fitting loose.

Ok so I ordered a rear kit from Accutune that I picked up on 8/30; archive hangers, relocation, 2.5 fox 12 smoothies etc. I'm installing today and already have one of the relocation towers burned in. We went to install the shock but one of the fittings that connects the reservoir is completely cracked. I'm at a loss cause I is my truck for work (about 150 pounds in the bed) and have to drive it around. I'm not sure how I'm suppose to drive my truck at the moment. Here is a pic for reference. I mean do i finish install and drive like this or do I drive without one shock? I've messaged @AccuTune Offroad but they're not open til Monday. I'm open to any suggestions on how to keep my vehicle operable til I can get back to Accutune on Monday.

 

I’d say It’s always risky heavily modifying a vehicle you need. I suggest getting a rental while you figure out the shock fix. Don’t drive on public roads for work with one shock, you can definitely do it, but handling will be shit and could potentially be huge liability and hazard if you have to make an evasive maneuver.

 

Yea, sucks. To clarify I don't use it for work but to get to work. But yes I agree, I don't want to drive with only one shock. I wouldn't assume it wouldn't handle very well.

 

Well, it can be done. I’ve traveled hundreds of miles with a friend in DVNP without any rear shocks. It’s just not ideal. But can be done in a pinch. Best bet is to get a beater if you’re gonna work on your truck at all. It’s sooooooo nice knowing you can still get to work if you’re mods/maintenance don’t go as planned. Or put stock shock back in and just assume you’ll be topping out over any and all extensions along your commute.

edit: nevermind. Top stem is now obsolete. Idk man. Good luck. Drive safe.

 

Lol yea, definitely didn't go as planned. My buddy was nice enough to give me his taco since I was about an hour away, he has his work truck he can use. Hopefully @AccuTuneOffroad can take care of this Monday so my buddy gets his truck back andni can get mine back.

 

I think it is awkward to mount them the way the picture on Accutune has them. In fact I've never seen them mounted like that. Mine came the same way. I bought new stickers..problem solved.

 

Yeah, we went ahead and installed them and they seem to fit fine that way. We'll get some new stickers and just swap them. Thanks for the reply.

Now the front 2.5 DSC reservoirs...good lord. I swear getting those to actually go into the mounts was like the hardest thing on the whole suspension install. It was like the hoses were just a little too long or something. I wrestled with those damn things forever. I got them mounted, but not 100% satisfied with the way that went.

 

No need to rotate reservoirs. We include extra Fox stickers to help correct this. Below is a more recent image of the Tundra shocks we make fit a Tacoma.

Feel free to contact us directly if you have concerns or questions, always happy to help

 

Mine are like that too, i think they flip the fitting when you buy the tundra shocks

 

I dug around the box and found the extra stickers, so I can resolve this myself. Thanks

 

I have a question for people running Front coil overs 2.5s with reservoirs or @AccuTune Offroad
Is it normal to hear like an air noise When going over speed bumps at lower speeds it kinda sounds like something was sucking air for half a second while going over the speed bump.
It’s hard to put in words the sound that the shocks make hahaha

 

Mine do the same. Pretty sure that's normal but I'm not an expert.

 

Mine from accutune do not make any noise that I can hear
