rubbing the reservoir at full lock.

Anyone else have rubbing on the reservoir at full lock ? I have the resi slid as far forward as the hose will alllow....

Try sliding it back towards the shock a little?

I had it slide back at first and it was worse. Now it only rubs if at full lock and hit a bump...


I really don't want wheel spacers I think the wheel fitment is perfect now don't want the tires sticking out..

 

What reservoir? If it's plastic and doesn't hold flammable liquid you could carefully heat it up with a heat gun and push it in with something like a screwdriver handle until it clears because I wouldn't think it would need a lot of clearance.
Edit: You also could extend the hose by buying a new one and putting it on or slicing into it and adding an extra length of hose onto it.

Oh um... idk? Replace the hose and make it longer? Sorry I should have read better.

 

i was just wondering if this is common. There is plenty of room to mount it in a custom location but the problem is they supply a bracket and the hose is designed for that. If I want to move it I will have to send them back to Fox to have the hose changed.

 

I guess I will have to lift it up higher in the front

 

Apparently on FJ Cruisers it's a known issue: Icon seems to know what they are doing:

"Mounting Bracket Orients Reservoir for Optimum Tire Clearance"

Call All-Pro or Icon and see if you can purchase a vertical reservoir mount. Should be interchangeable amongst Fox, Icon and WE, since the reservoir is mounted with just hose clamps. Just hope the hose is long enough.

 

You need to move it up a touch. I had the same problem. Instead of moving it back toward the shock move it a touch closer to the front of the truck and your resi hose should now clear the coil spring.

 

Thread revival.. I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Op did you resolve this?

 

My reservoir is as far forward as possible. Tire rubs the fitting coming out of the Resi. Might have to get wheel spacers

 

Can I use 1/4 wheel spacers and still use the same lugs. Worried about catching enough threads..
