I've already used up my "Christmas gift" for this year so i'll probably be looking at a set of shocks around birthday time (March). So if one of you guys beat me to the punch, no big deal

A few updates:
1) I updated the excel file downloadable in the first post with A LOT more shock options. Both Bilstein and FOX.
2) Added Andrews shock thread link to first post. He ordered the 2.0 Emulsions from JBA and should be installed this weekend!
3) I'll be ordering the 2.0 Resi's as soon as I figure out what valving I want to order. Omelet has 30/60, i'm waiting to hear back from trialbyfire to see what he went with, and I have a call into FOX.
Can't wait
OK it's official... 11" travel FOX 2.0 Emulsion Remote Reservoir shocks w/ CD adjuster are on order!
Omelet and Trialbyfire have 30/60 valving
Andrew has 30/90 valving (JBA spec)
I'm getting 60/80 valving per FOX tech support
I'm slightly worried that mine are going to be a bit stiff... but we'll see! I did tell FOX that I will eventually have a rear steel bumper with fullsize spare so that might have played a role, on top of the OME HD spring rates I provided.
Sweet deal man!

What was the cost of the fox resi's??
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
The shocks were $205 each + $105 each for the CD adjuster add on, free shipping. So more money than i'd like to sum up to one number, but less than my state tax return so I'm going to pretend they were free and the state only owed me $150 lol.
Nice. That's a lot of money just for rear shocks though...

I completely agree. I've wanted a set of resi shocks for over 10 years and have a small window to get them now with tax $$, before furlough and before the 3rd baby arrives. So it was now or never lol.
With that said, these shocks can still be used if/when I get the superlift, and also on any other vehicle I get in the future. They're completely rebuildable and serviceable and not specific to the XK.
Quick update.
I contacted FOX again because I was a bit worried seeing everyone running 30% compression. They got back to me and said the lowest they'd recommend for my vehicle weight/specs is 40, so they're going to do 40/80 and if I think it's too soft I can ship them back for a 60/80 re-valve and just pay for shipping.
Just got the tracking #. Shocks will be here next Tuesday!
