fox shox

I was looking to put some Fox shox on the back of my truck. does anyone know what size I need and what valving? it will be a stock replacement no lift. (2.5 leveling front) Also they dont make any for the front so could you recomend another brand for the front or a better brand for the rear? I would like to go for rezzys in the rear and just a great shock up front. thx

I have been looking into the fox shocks as well but they are quite expensive. Other good brands are King shocks, fabtech and procomp make some good front shocks/coilovers, and rancho makes some good ones as well. http://www.kingshocks.com/newproduct...n=new_products

That king off road thing looks badass, I wonder the price for that set up? For the fronts would any coilover shock work? I though you had to get a replacement shock and put the spring on? How would I go about replacing the front set up?

The shocks that come in the rear are chit. They're white and way too stiff.

How much for them beauty's, I'd rather go with some DL's in the rear, but I am a big fan of Fox as well. I've heard prices for around 225/pc for those.

$380 for pure sechs, where do I order. At the moment, it's not worth it to me but maybe further down the road. Where are you ordering these from and make sure you take pics of them installed while they're still new. I might keep the fox stickers off if I buy them. My suspension travel is fine as is, it tucks these 37's with little room to spare so theres no way I'm bottoming out the current shocks. I can't justify the purchase.

Sportztrailers.com are always feeding the customer, I've called twice now and both representatives have said they'd call me back for sure today or tomorrow, it's been 2 days. Before they said they'd call me back asap, never called after 4 days. Do NOT deal with these guys.

I need them really bad, because my shocks have been maxed out ever since I added the larger block in the rear... Anyway, I am getting the shocks from Downsouth Motorsports..
