How do king/icon/fox 2.0 rear shock handle?

Got coilovers on the front of my truck now it feels like the rear is really lacking. Either my stock shocks are already blown out or they are just terrible. Feels like I have no damping and they bottom on pretty small bumps. I drive desert terrain at a decent pace.

How good are 2.0 rear shocks with stock leafs? Will I have a lot more damping and not bottom so easy? If I do a AAL my truck will stink bug again btw.

 

Should be fine with 2.0’s.

Personally I’d go Bilstein 5160’s over Icon for the rear for the $. Fox is a typical average upgrade. Kings are nice, but $$$ and...blue.

What are you running in the front?

 

Fronts are old sway aways, kinda don’t want fox’s seems they have bad customer service.

 

So does Icon according to many folks on here.

Fox are average shocks until you spend the big buck$$ for their race line stuff.

Along the line of Kings, have you checked out ADS (Arizona Desert Racing Shocks)? They are very nice and their 2.5 shocks are much better than Fox

Kinda forgot about ADS. if I recall I was told they are direct copies of Kings with only one tiny internal difference.

 

Maybe. Heavier duty resi hoses maybe. Also not blue though lol

Cheaper if you know where to look

 

Headstrong?

 

Yes.
