    Found a cheap pair of fox 2.0 coilover with 2.0 fox for the rear also with only 19k for 500 dollars, are they worth the price for that mileage plus will have to rebuild after 30k anybody have any long term experience and cost for rebuild cost. How hard would it be to install byself and can I even fit 285 75 16 with this set up

    They are great shocks, worth the price will be dependent on how abused they have been. Fitting tire size will be no different to stock shocks (same for all quality aftermarket suspension). Rebuild will depend on what needs to be done and by who, $300 to $700. The 30k rebuild is just an average, some go way longer and other need it sooner.

    On shocks, personally I’d factor in a rebuild on the asking price as I’d rebuild before installing them anyway. But that just my opinion.

    That's a pretty low price! Are they the 2 inch or 3 inch fronts? Also are the rears longer than stock or just stock replacements. The 2 inch fronts give a great ride! If the rear shocks are just stock replacement they will ride nice but you won't see any extra wheel travel. They could be cheap because their dead or cheap because the seller just wants to move the and have a happy buyer... always a gamble with used stuff. When I zoom in I see a little oil build up on one of the rears, meaning it is leaking, even if just a tiny bit that means that shock is done.. When I sold my F150 that I'd installed the 2 inch 2.0's on the new owner told me he blew one of the fronts, like it was a total failure of the shock and it caused a lot of other damage.... i had driven the truck hard for about 30k miles of overlanding travel knowing i was going to trade it in.....

    I did notice the oil leak on the strut and also he send a pic that a bolt struts need to be replaced which was a hard pass on that

    Your onnthe riggjt track with not outting that stuff on. Too bad though as it is nice gear when not beat/baffed out.

    something else will eventually pop up that does the job for you
