What size tire rick?
Anyhow, I'm pleased with the front/rear combo and it simplified mounting since I didn't need to deal with the front reservoir mounting issue. It'll be interesting to see how the IPF last over the years and whether a rebuild is cost effective when it is time given the shocks are inexpensive.
cheers,

315/75/16 MTR Kevlars. Should note, also have removed both sway bars.
I dont believe the Fox IFP's are rebuildable.... They seem like they will be a good "middle" ground though price-wise. They should hold me off until I grab the 4WU kit! HA
Did you use the 0-2.5" or 3-4" shocks? Any measurements on the fully extended aspect w/them mounted on your rig flexed out?I just installed these shocks two days ago. My lift setup is OME 850+1/863's in the rear.
My truck had the bumpstop brackets when I bought it but I doubt they are factory. They are 2" blocks above the rear bumpstops.
Here is the truck on a forklift:

Rear tire was rubbing rear portion of the wheel well pretty good when I stopped, I would consider this very close to maximum articulation. Notice the remaining stroke on the shocks. Bumpstop was within 1/2" of contact. (ignore my ghetto bend brake line... lol) :

I have only city driving on them so far. Compared to the near new OME "L" shocks I was previously running, these are a tiny bit softer but not much. The big difference is in the valving. It seems quite a bit slower on rebound than the OMEs which smooths out the ride considerably. Feel more controlled over large bumps etc. Will have a trail report in a week.

I can safely assume once the rig is loaded up she would ride even nicer.

x2!I know this could be a long shot .. but most comparisons are based on old OME shocks .. how they ( FOX ) perform vs the new OME nitro sports .?
