    nope these arent the current foxes tho, they are the first generation ones with a different part number. IMO get either the new ones or another brand, its not worth it.

    Hey KTMrider did you install the same set as what is listed on ebay ?
    I'm now leaning toward spending more Dodi and going with the icons, I use my truck alot with 3 bikes loaded inside the bed. We go to the track and desert every week, and looking for an overall better ride with a full load.

    3 bikes suck. I hate it. But go with either the newer fox shocks, icons, saw, king, camburg. I wouldnt want anybody to have to do that.


    I just have a AAL for the extra weight, and ive never had a problem. I put in 2 bikes and tow a 4k pound boat up to tahoe and havent had a problem with weight capacity.

    Good Morning,

    Fox part # 880-02-418-A is the extended travel version of part # 880-02-376-B which is for use with stock UCA's.The arms always help with the alignment, but with the extended travel 418-A # and the TC Arms it will allow you about 1.75" more of droop travel at the wheel.
    Fox does not want you using the extended travel part # without the aftermarket UCA's so you do not damage the factory upper ball joint
    when the suspension goes to full droop.
    Hope this helps...
    Thank you,
    Sonny

    Thanks so much for that Sonny! Are all the Fox Shocks for sale this type, extended travel? If I had some Fox shocks how would I be able to tell if they are the extended ones? I have TC UCA and it seems like I will be putting some Fox on soon and just curious which Fox I have.
