    Still happy with the rear shocks? I'm just a little concerned with going to 5100s from remote resi foxes. I know you did the same thing though, so what are your thoughts after using that setup for a while?

    I'm about to order the ato flip kit

    i recommend them 100%

    for what i use my truck for, remote resi is a bit overkill

    i do need some new springs i think, but moving from the fox to the billies was a great move..gained more travel and i liked the valving better than how DSM sent the foxes over.

    for a budget, you can't go wrong..

    if you have $$ to burn through, shock relocation and 12" would be best.

    but for the price, i think it's one of the best setups you can run with the shackle flips..

    Cool. I've always thought the remote resi's are overkill for what I do also.

    I'm not confident in my welding skills to do a relocate, and I don't have the money for it anyway.

    I guess ill order the flip kit and b110s

    (And new tires for my dual sport with the $ I save compared to different rear shocks :D )
    :thumbsup: thanks Bob!

    Lowers are more than 2x the material, 2x the welding and 2x the engineering. I'm surprised that they are only 2x the price as uppers. Either that or uppers are just overpriced.

    Haha, I dont know. Have thought about it, not really complicated to do a stock replacement. Just a matter of finding the time to get to it I suppose.
