Fox 2.0 Coilover IFP and rear 2.0 Remote Reservoir review

I went through it in pretty good detail at the beginning of the thread bud. Basically, you just need a vise and two different sized spark plug sockets (might be able to use regular sockets and just work the bushing out the rest of the way with a screw driver in the bushing hole). One smaller than the opening for the bushing and one larger so you can press out the bushing into the larger using the smaller socket.

 

Yea, I saw where you described that. Other than the bushing, the install is straight forward?

Lift the axle, lossen the top the nut on the old shock, lower the axle and undo the bottom shock mount bolt. After swapping the bushing, put the bottom shock mount bolt through the 2.0, raise the axle and attach the top nut?

When I say I have no tools, I'm pretty much working with jack stands, floor jack, and a socket set haha I don't even have a vise so I'll need to get creative with the bushing.

This has me right on the edge for splurging for the CD adjustors.

I did it on jack stands with a floor jack and super sketchy 2x4's. Hit harbor freight for a vise. You are spot on with the install. Just be aware, getting the bottom shock mount in is a pain if you don't put a light coating of polyurethane friendly grease in the axle mount before sliding the shock in there (I used marine grease after the passenger side bushing got pinched and I realized you have to mount the roost guard BEFORE mounting the shock). Also, you have to mount the remote resi's to the shock body with the supplied mounts, this too takes a second to get them even and all (I'm kinda anal about both sides matching).
I highly suggest getting the shocks ready before attempting the install bc it could turn into a cluster. Lastly, make sure you have the remote resi's facing away from the axle on both sides (see pics).

 

Does anyone here know if the FOX roost shields for the rear fit the factory series w/ reservoirs part #

$274 985-24-117 Reservoir Shock CD Adjuster

985-24-117? It shows as an option for the non resis, but not resis.

 

Call Wheeler's Off-road (541-474-2879, Dan the man left so I think his replacement's name is Steve... Ask for him, sharp guy). They can tell you for sure and they sell them individually as well (you only need one since one side is behind the axle). I would guess it does fit though, the shock bodies should be the exact same.

 

What 2.0 are you running with add a leaf? 0-1.5?

 

1.5 progressive aal's with 2.0 remote resi's w cd adjusters 0-1.5.

 

Ok thanks.

 

For those interested, the active GB has some pretty good deals. I placed my order last night now just waiting on the invoice to come in so I can pay it.

2.0 rears with RR and CD adjustors. Also got the roost shields. They only sold them in pairs but the price was awesome anyways.

 

Yep. I think I'm going to pull the trigger also. Just don't know if need the cd adjusters.

 

Do it

Dr. Chase sold me on the CD adjustors. I don't offroad a ton, but I did haul/tow from time to time so I think the benefit to adjust them will be felt there.

 

ahh, I hate you. Now I've got more to think about lol.

 

We're all here to help each other empty out wallets

 

Yeah ever since I found this site that seems to be the case.

 

Cd adjuster? Yes please! Pulled the trigger

 

You guys are hilarious, but think you'll be happy once you play around with them. As stated before, I didn't think they were worth it until I had a bed full of guns and ammo a few weeks after the install and turned them up to stiffen the back end. Made the rear go from "weighted spongy" back to controlled and awesome. Do note the adjustment knobs are pretty stiff at first so be prepared to have to turn them with a shop towel for grip. Lastly, $ spent on Taco suspension is never $ wasted... I think hahaha

Gw2, what are you doing with your leaf packs?

 

Don't know yet. I know I want to do 1.5 add a leave since I got the 0-1.5s. Just trying to figure what would be best with TSB leafs Ive got.

 

I thinking a single leaf because i wanna keep my overload.

 

I have the 3pc and kept my overload. Just had to grind off the brake line brackets.

 

How much lift?
