Yea they're on their site, I personally like the set up right now..
Got an update from FOX today. They should be finished up this week. So i'll probably have them the following weekend.
This Friday, while im doing my brakes, i'll probably mount the reservoir brackets to see if I can put the resi's where I want. That way when the shocks get here its just a 20 minute install.
They are going to look awesome man! Cant wait for pics

So its going to be CLOSE.... I wish I had 1/4" less backspace on my wheels. The drivers side tire just kissed my "dummy" resi today.
I think im going to add 1/2" or 1" to my bump stops and hopefully that takes care of it.
These are just the test pics. Used wingnuts for a quick r&r

Plenty of clearance then the tire was just stuffed with the floor jack:

But then when I went out and flexed it out on a cut stump... no more clearance. Though i was able to rotate the tire so it was just kissing it.

Ok got the rest of my supplies today. New shock bolts with cut threads as opposed to rolled threads so the shoulder is the correct size for the sleeves. And the ORW bushing mounts for the FOX shocks.

Anyone around NJ want a set of 18" wheels, let me know. I'm a tid bit nervous about the resi clearance.. found some cheap 18x8.5s with 5.1" backspace i could run; that'd give me another 1/2" there.
Bummer. Just spent the morning finishing up the mounts and theres not enough clearance on the passenger side. Looks like they'll have to be piggyback.
