my fronts 2.5 dsc are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Fox is behind on production, my wait was 2 months. Should be worth the wait by the sounds of the reviews.

Guess my back order of one month for the fronts isn't gonna take a month lol. It just shipped today. I barely ordered them too. Woot!!


Got the rears installed. Feels a little firmer but I also don't have any weight in the rear. Not a direct fit so you either have to widen the lower shock mount or grind down the lower shock sleeve. I widen mine and it wasn't hard but took a little time. Bent the bolt I used to widen it but it was the only one I had that was thread all the way. I also had to rechase the threads before widen the second side.
If you never taken the rear shocks off. The lower nut is actually a locking nut seen in photos with 4 lines on it. You loosen the bolt side to remove it not the nut.

Couldn't fully flex it out. The front tires started to go down the ramp. Gonna see if my buddy with a fork lift will lift it lol.

Jose, I see you added a small bracket to raise your proportioning valve. I have about the same amount of lift as you with no adjustment to the proportioning valve height. Am I correct in my reasoning that I'm using less rear brake?

Correct.
I plan on trying to design a manual one that I can adjust based on how laden I'm running.

Yup. You can actually bring it up more if you want more rear braking assist. I just used some scrap metal I got from billy hehe.

Good news no wait on the coil overs! I was skeptical on the 2 months I waited for mine, I called fox and had them confirm they were behind. The must have just pumped a bunch out. Mine just arrived today, very beefy! Makes the 5100s look like twigs. Have fun in Moab... Jealous


Ride it like you stole it!
