Talking new fox 2.0 and traction bars

Got my shocks and traction bars in last week and had them installed 2 days ago. Had to control the back because the stiff springs threw me around, and the front was not stiff enough to control sway... so I fixed it. Now it rides perfect, ya its stiff but not harsh.
Here are some pics

There they are!


Were did my shock go!


Oh there it is


The front shock


The front shock... again


Back shock


Traction bar


New cast iron brackets for a 3 quarter ton truck


There she is


Tell me what you think.
So if you are thinking about fox shocks they are awesome.

Shocks 450$
Traction bars 500$
Lift kit 2600$
Rear bds leaf springs 500$
Labor 1000$

Plus tax and other hardware
so around 6000$- 6500$

It was worth it

Looks awesome man! Do you have the specs on the rear shocks like extended/collapsed numbers, etc?
