What were your thoughts on the ride quality from 5100s and 885s to your Foxes? My 5100s probably don't have much left in them so i thought i'd ask someone who has made that transition.

 

Ride quality is pretty subjective, but basically It feels smoother and more planted. I am still experimenting with DSC adjusters, I started all the way soft and dialing it in from there. Defiantly can tell the difference even when only moving them one click. One reason I went with 2.5 Coilovers with RR and adjusters, was so i didn't have to wonder how much better something else would be. Overall I am happy with the purchase, and would buy them again. Headstrong Off-Road was a big help setting me straight on what to get and had the best prices I could find.

 

i think not getting the adjustables was my big mistake with my fox resi rears...i regret not paying the extra $$

 

Installed the Redline Tuning Quicklift Plus, I got from the group buy.
I had to lower the solenoid from my Warn Power Interrupt Kit, so the strut would clear it when closed.

 

Clean build!

 

Thanks man, digging your build as well. Some nice photo's.

 

Thank you! Been trying to get better with my photography.

 

Installed BAMF behind grill light bar, will be mounting up some LED's once I decide on the ones I want.

 

Finally got around to painting the SoS bolt on sliders, not finished in the pic.

 

Installing STech Universal 6 Switch. Made up mounting plate and installed warn solenoid on the left side, blue sea 6 pole distribution for power coming out of STech and and a 10x common ground(wanted smaller, but that one was cheaper on Amazon).
Bent the plate up out of some 1/8 inch 5052 aluminum, don't have a metal brake so used a hammer and vise. Turned out ok, for $8 worth of metal.

 

Finally got the Ditch light brackets and BajaDesigns S2 Sports installed. Wired them to the S-Tech switch on individual switches so I can work them independently. Keep the right one on if I'm passing vehicle, and just have more control of the light.

 

Installed Firestone Ride-Rite kit with daystar cradles. Have the Wheeler's Shackle flip kit so I used @alvinfromhawaii install method, and modified the lower mount.

 

Got super deal on Powerstop rotors and pads on Amazon for $60.
