I think i'm getting the MX6-R shocks for Christmas this year. Looking forward to having the adjustable valving again

Ok... still undecided. Looks like I may be getting 7100's BUT I just found a few FOX part numbers that look like they'll work as well. One of which is a Resi-shock thats comparable to the 7100's and the other is an adjustable resi-shock! I Emailed FOX looking for confirmation on some of the specs and I have Steel Armadillo checking prices for me. I'd love the adjustable resi shocks from FOX but I have a feeling that Santa may VETO that option lol.
But if Santa does VETO the adjustable shock option, it looks like FOX sells a kit to convert their 2.0 Resi shocks into an adjustable resi-shock with PN 815-00-036 ...

Update!
JBA sells FOX reservoir shocks (2.0 Pro-Series) for our vehicles. The ones they have listed for a 4" lift are 28" long.... so 1/2" longer than my current shocks. $225 each is also a good price, competitive for similar Bilstein 7100 series.
So are these for the SL or what?

No id run them with my current setup. Though I may need to drop down my driver side brake line bracket a bit.
With the superlift you can get even longer shocks.
You will need to check bumpstop length too Matt with those, and definitely check the brake line and wheel speed sensor cable length.
These are the same length as SL shocks but these will be much better!
With my SL i am running 32" shocks which is about the limit without long arms.

Yup, bump stops already extended. I may go an inch further since my tires still hit my flares. My lines have plenty of room, but I also may lower the brake line bracket just for added peace of mind. My current shocks are 27.5" so those aren't much longer.... it just depends on how they actually measure
Matt, whats the length of the OME rear shocks??? I wouldnt mind a set of the Fox 2.0 someday. It seems my rear OME sort of limit travel.
2007 4.7 Liter XK | Front Modified OME HD Lift | Rear 4" Superlift | JBA UCA's | Rusty's Rear Adjustable Track Bar | Rysty’s Adjustable Upper and Lower Rear Control Arms w/Heim Joints | Mickey Thompson Classic III 17x9 Wheels | 315/70R17 Goodyear Duratracs | Airflow Snorkel | Flowmaster 40 Series Muffler | Superchips Flashpaq | Mopar Skids | 4xGuard Belly Guard | American Rebel Rear Diff Cover | Rear Powertrax No-Slip | Front Electronic Locker | Rear Heat/AC Delete
According to the OME catalog, the Nitrocharger shocks are 25.9" extended and 14.72" compressed.
Here's the JBA FOX 2.0 Resi shock i'd run:

So these are obivously better than the OME one's, but for $500 for the pair is it worth it?!?! Any changes in lift?
