Fox 2.0 Pro Resi shock on Superlift

[Sal-XK]

I personally would limit the flex right before anything touched or any lines got to tight.

Have you looked at the Fox Shocks? I have been running the 11" travel remote reservoirs and I love them! The 12" version might be a good option for you. If I remember correctly they measure 19-31".

I checked your post and they look nice! I'll do some pricing and see how they compare to the Rancho's. I like the servicability aspect.

TrialByFire - How are the wires leading down to the rear diff at full drop? Did you have to extend them? I ask because when I extend mine out to 28" they are just about taunt.

I'm assuming you are referring to the ELSD wires which connect to the top of the diff. I didn't think to check, but in the first photo it appears that there won't be a problem (at least on a passenger-side drop. The SL kit includes a lot of drop brackets, like for the brake line for instance, and they may have one for the ELSD lines as well. The ABS sensor wires on the rear hub were very tight at full drop but I simply moved the rubber clamps where they attach to the brake line and all was good.

Once I install the Rancho's (or Fox), I'll check again to see if the shock is the limiter. If not, I can pretty easily drop the brake lines another 1/2".

Cool! I just didn't want you to rip it out if the axle dropped hard!

A couple more of the coil gap. Would OME HDs fill this in?

Nope... not even close.

[TrialByFire]

Oh well. Guess I'll stick with the SL springs.

Here is the update on the Rancho shocks:
I cancelled the order (twice). It seems the RS19287 is discontinued. A couple of companies showed stock on-line and one of them even told me over the phone they were in stock but after running my credit card waited for me to call a couple of days later and then told me that "the factory" had discontined the model. I now have a pair of Fox 2.0 Pro (12" travel) on order and will hopefully have them on Friday. I will probably have to extend the brake line drop bracket a little bit (1"?).

Man that sucks... but, at the same time, maybe it's for the best? Can't go wrong with the Fox shocks!

[TrialByFire]

Just got them in. I need to get the thread name changed to Fox 2.0 Res on Superlift!





Now, to see what problems I run into...

[TrialByFire]

Well I've got the driver side done after a couple of hours of fiddling, checking clearance, looking at different reservoir mounting positions, and a trip to Lowes. Everything looks good! The limit on this side seems to be the upper control arm on the gas tank armour, so no need to extend the brake line. Tomorrow morning I'll finish the other side (should go much quicker), then off to Gordy's Hill for a test run.

Envious.....

A thing of beauty...
