Fox Life!!! Anything Related to Fox Suspension

if 4x4 may not clear axle ?

 

Smooth as silk.. i mean fox

 

LB hood

 

maybe im a kook (lol) but i have a 2019 SR5 DCSB that has ext travel 2.5 FOX RR DSC and Camburg Kinetik billet UCAs waiting to be installed.
Since Im not 4x4 and dont have ANY additional weigth added to the vehicle? will i obtain my 2in lift within the safe zone fox recomeneds at 1.905" thread after collar?
(still deciding what im going to do with the rear end)

 

I maxed out my drivers side (27 threads) and got around 1.8-1.9" of lift on my truck (22.8-22.9" hub to fender).

 

Have 14” 650# eibach 3.0 springs for sell, less than 1000 miles on them. PM me if interested, will be posting in Sell forum.

 

I know it's been discussed here a few times already but I just wanted to make sure I got it right before actually doing the install.

To have the shocks fit, I need to remove the rubber bushing that came pre-installed (left) and insert (I've read that's easier said than done) the smaller bushing on the left. Is that correct?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Edit: these are

Without knowing what shocks you have pictured there, no one can say?

For instance, the direct replacement rear Fox shock for a 1st gen has a 3/4" hourglass bushing without metal insert.

I opted to buy their universal rear shock, which comes with a 5/8" bushing and metal insert.

If you know what size bushing your currently installed shock has, why not opt to insert the same type/size in your new Fox shock?

Your shock is a replacement for your specific truck (granted your truck needs a rear lift).

Can't imagine why you'd need to replace the bushing on yours, but hopefully someone else chimes in.

 

Is the box marked 4 Runner / FJ?

 

Yes, you will have to swap out the bushing and insert the metal sleeve. I have the same shocks on my 2018.

 

My non resi 2.0s came the same way and I swapped them out for the bushings that fit. Also had to widen the bottom mounts slightly to get it all in there and close them back up by tightening the bolt.

 

Use some grease on the bushings, sleeve, and mount too. The bottom shock mounts were a PIA.

 

Got my non tacoma specced Fox’s installed. They are smooth.

 

I ran into this as I was installing.
You will have to swap that black bushing out, and then use the metal insert. I was able to remove the old one by carefully prying from side to side with pliers making sure to not pry against the shock itself and damage it. Then you can use something like sockets or the bolt and nut to press in the new bushing.

Since you ran into that on the rear, check the front before install. I think it should have an inside diameter of 13mm? Mine was okay, but I read on here where someone had the wrong bushings on the coilovers too and had to get replacements.

 

My understanding is that Fox provides this shock for different vehicles, so it's sent out with both bushings and it's up to the middle man selling it or us to swap out if necessary.

 

How do I keep my fox coilovers and suspension looking new? Is there something i can spray on them? i dont want whatever is sprayed on to remove the decals.

 

Fox directions suggest automotive wax.
