Hey Everyone,
Bought an ‘03 470 and have been slowly making it mine, including adding some 255/80r17, and is now time to lift. I’ve been planning on getting Dobs IMS all the way around as I think it’s a good middle of the road option that is serviceable. I don’t need top of the line as I’m not going to be getting too crazy in my daily driver. Mostly just exploring Colorado and working my way towards the San Juans etc. I come from moto so I’m now taking my family to places I like to ride/see.
All that said, I picked up a seemingly great deal on a set of rear Fox Factory Race rear suspension w remote resi that was a demo set for a local shop. They know it was under 3k miles on the set, but think it was closer to 1k miles. They’re a reputable shop and I share a mutual friend with the owner.
I’m now ready to buy the fronts and coil conversion and throw everything on. My question is, will it ride awkwardly with fox rear shocks and Dobs IMS on the front? I don’t need the Fox fronts and want to stay in budget. I don’t imagine the valving will align perfectly between the brands, but will the springs and everything else help offset that?
Also, anyone run these fox rears and have any issues/gripes?
I plan to lift the entire truck 2” and keep it stock otherwise. I’m not going out of control on the build, it’s my daily after all…I do plan on running helped bags for toting motorbikes around either on a hitch carrier or a trailer.
Thanks in advance.
