Update: I will need to add more rebound to all four. The compression is good at 30-35, but the rebound needs to be about 90-95 for the really big, fast hits. It's OK otherwise.
Maybe wrap up that resi can on the PS, all that heat is going to make that shock toasty. better yet, maybe try a 90º fitting on the hose so you can route it into the wheelwell (that's what I did)
The can to bolt of tie rod is probably the least clearance I have in the whole system. I measured it out and it should be OK, but still need to flex things up. I may try and push the canister up another inch or so, then it will have no problems at all.How much clearance do you have from the can and the tie rod on the drivers side and full bump? I would be worried about hitting it and breaking off the valve.
Looking forward to hearing how it rides......what valving did you go with front and rear and would you adjust it at all?
Coax, how are you liking the ride with the Fox 2.0's in front? Is it vastly different from the OME shocks? Also, is there any reasons something like these wouldn't work in order to avoid the clearance issues with the remote reservoir? ->
Fox 2.0 Pro Series Emulsion Smooth Body Shocks 5/8" & 7/8" Shaft
Though the reserviours were really not that bad, and you get a nicer shock out of the deal. Also the res. problem may be solved with some shorter hoses and 90degree fittings...maybe.
TThat said, I don't think they perform that much differently to OME's, yet.
Hey Coax - Saw this guys 80 set-up with remote reservoirs here:
Indonesia 4x4 Expedition - Expedition Portal Forum
You might get some ideas on page 2?
Swap out the rears and report back
What would be a good valving to start with for the Fox Res shock above that have the stud-stud mounts?
The weight on my front end is an ARB, dual battery, rockrails.
How hard is it to re-valve shocks like the Fox? Any special tools needed?
