May have a new shock option soon!

...Are you kidding me? They told me they didn't have ANY front shocks for the 100 left. I feel cheated... But congrats on the purchase, hope they work great!


I spoke to them on the phone and they will have to be ordered. Will likely drop ship from manufacturer and take 3 weeks.

Just saw the newest Overland Journal and it sounds like Fox's valving is incorrect for the Jeep JK too. :confused:
 
Any merit to running Profenders in the rear to stop the bounce and Foxes up front?
 
I actually finally got my front remotes in a few weeks ago and mounted them up this past friday. So far so good but I haven't really found a place to mount the reservoirs appropriately. The remote lines that came on the shocks are about 3-4 inches too short to run in what appears to be the designed location for the reservoirs.

So now I have (very) temporarily mounted the reservoirs in front of the wheels kinda in my front bumper and mounted them up with zip ties until I can figure out a place to permanently mount them and have the lines somewhat out of the way. Anybody have any suggestions as to where and how to mount the reservoirs?

Like nick, I had mounted mine up front where you have yours zip tied. I had to fiddle with trimming brackets but seems to be good after a couple weeks. I don't like the exposure they get but whatever. Bumper and recovery brackets should shield them. The rear is different. Pain to find a good spot. Mine are temporarily placed to the rear if the mounting and angled up in the frame rail. Hose clamped the hoses out if the way for now but have to weld a couple brackets to keep the Jose out and away from spring movement.

Wow, the underside of your truck looks pretty rough man. So do you have any better shots of where that resi is mounted? I'm gonna crawl back under and check things out again but I don't really want to drill into the frame if I don't have to.
 
Under my truck looks terrible because of the salt we use on the roads in winter. This winter was hard as we had it many -20 to -3o days. I am welding up a couple hangers for the reservoir hoses and will snap some pics.

These profender shocks are very popular in the Middle East right now, How did you find them? I also noticed you have extended bump stops, is that a necessary modification?
 
Upon further investigation with the length...they add significant down travel. A bit uneasy with how close everything gets. Less than a 1/4" in there.

Hi,

Taking out an old post, on this picture, were the shocks limiting the down travel or something was binding? Top arm ball joint.

I Noticed on posts further downthat thread that you changed the upper arms, was it a necessity due to binding or just because you could?

The measurments you provided where fenders to hub center or at the shock itself?

Thanks for all this inputs
