    This has prob been covered a bajillion times.. but I was thinking a Fox 2.0 or 2.5 setup would be ok for my daily driver.. I don’t use it too much for off-road.. a little, Not a lot.. Just looking to stuff a set of 285 under the wheel well and have a better ride than stock.. Any suggestions, or advice?

    If you don't do much off-road, I would not spend the big money for external bypass shocks. To buy a full Fox/King/Icon setup can be like $3,000 even before labor. If I were you I'd look into something like the Toytec 3 inch lifts or something comparable. Same ride height options, just a decent bit cheaper and a little less plush ride. The only thing those bypasses give you is when you're off road with high amounts of suspension travel it helps keep your shocks from overheating.

    Well, i would be doing labor myself and as far as being plush is concerned I would like it to be plusher than factory but still have some stiffness where it needs to be.
