Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

Yeah mine are nice and soft now that I got my sway bar moved and not rubbing on my springs. Love the ride now

 

I read that after I posted. I was pretty surprised how well the 2.0s ride over any OME or Bilstein setup and under $1k for a true coilover is a good deal.

 

What experience have you had with Bilstein?

 

What clamps are you using to hold the reservoirs? They look pretty good

 

Has anyone switch to the new mounting position of the reservoirs ?
My shocks are getting rebuild by accutune and I have been thinking about switching where the the reservoir mounts

 

I’m considering those UCA’s. Can I ask your thoughts on them so far and your deciding factors?

 

If we really do have em and you are considering that, we would need to re clock your reservoirs and possibly add different fittings. Definitely contact us ASAP if you want that done

 

I have been emailing with steve, he told me he was going to contact me once they start disassembling the shocks. I was just wondering if someone has already done it

 

Thanks! I actually bought some fancy gold aluminum ones but they were too big. So these are the regular hose clamps with heat shrink tubing around the metal

Came from Camburg ball joint uca’s and the urethane bushings never stopped squeaking. Plus the ball joint design sucked and constantly leaked grease out of the boot (which they appear to have corrected). My deciding factor on the JD fab was the oem tundra bushings and sealed, greasable uniball (and being super beefy, they thicc). My front end is absolutely silent now! Granted I had creaks, squeaks and pops from other worn out stuff too lol

 

Just friends experiences, riding in them, seeing them off-road. Moving up to a fox, icon, king, ect is way worth it.

Thank you for the feedback. The only thing holding me back is the potential @AccuTune Offroad offering…still waiting.

 

10-4, I would just stay in contact with Steve then. He will get you handled.

 

I have the stock 13” 600lb coils on my shocks now, if I go to a 14” Eibach coil will it change the amount of preload needed for the same lift? I’m at 21” from top hat to lower bolt and am only achieving 2” of lift on extended travel coilovers.

 

Yes, it will require less preload to achieve the same lift height.

 

Add me to the Fox Gang. Previously had Bilstein 6112/5160 and stock rear leafs. I ran into some issues that still need working out (like an unexpected frozen LCA bolt) so I can't give a full judgement yet. Also want it to "break in" for a bit and get the height settings right. Sorry I don't have a good photo from far away yet, partially intentional because my front coil heights are wonky (that's my fault though, math is hard). Shoutout to @AccuTune Offroad , @ARCHIVE , and @RockAuto where I sourced the parts.

AccuTune - I'll be calling you next week to discuss a few things, nothing major just some feedback and minor questions about this new Performance Elite kit that might help future customers.

UBF-001, Archive Garage Stealth HD Toyota U-bolt flip kit with Option 3 bumps

Visual preload right? If they are both 600lbs it would require the same preload for same ride height.

 

Rear done-ish (need to do the hammer hangers still)

 

Left or right? A little bit of vinyl made a big difference

also don’t need these if anyone is looking for reservoir mounts

 

Not today, but last week. Thanks to AccuTune Offroad for the recommendations and tuning. Shout out to Texoma for the install and the conversation. Highly recommend his services if you're in the Austin, TX area.

So honest question being I just got Fox 2.5 w/DSC put on the truck. @AccuTune Offroad what do you guys change when it comes to tuning these being they’re already adjustable? Curious as I’m thinking ahead on rebuild since I go out pretty often. Oh and pic for relevance.
