I agree, and I've run quite a few shocks on trucks and track cars. As well as bend my 99 taco and 07 titan frame from running them hard in the desert. Thanks again for all of this input! It's amazing how many times I've googled landcruiser shocks and not find any of the options listed here. I'm so glad I posted here and I'm dead set on picking up a set of 2.0 fox, especially at that price point
May have a new shock option soon!

Do you happen to have any "before" pictures for comparison?
Looking good! Btw are you running a diff drop? Sorry, don't remember from your prior posts.
I ran Old Man Emu prior to the Fox and my impression was that the OME were just too stiff. The Fox, depending on valving gives a ride much more close to stock but more composed. The Fox shocks should be available at ORW and 4Wheel Parts by the end of this month. Part numbers are 985-24-066 and 985-24-067 front/rear. These will fit stock to 1.5 inch lift. My truck weighs in at over 8,000 lbs loaded and I've had no problems.
That sounds like it may be too short for many owners. Are you in touch with them? It would be nice to get another L shock option for those who've already done the mods to run them.
Fox is also working on a 2.5 with reservoir and a compression dampening knob for the people that want to have top of the line bolt on shock. I don't know the exact price point, but I'm pretty sure they will try to keep it south of King's and Slee's. I'm running Slee heavies in the rear with the Fox 2.0 and seem to get the same articulation that I had with the OME shocks. As far as the front goes, you just can't put a long shock with the IFS, even with aftermarket UCA's. There's just not enough travel.
I understand that, I was talking about the rear.
Here's some pics of the Fox 2.0 at full droop with TC UCA's. I can nearly fit my hand in between. As far as a rear shock to replace an L shock, I will ask their R&D department to look into it.
Nick , you need to just buy my TC UCA already !! before someone else does.....
Nice set up , love the fox shocks above.... ^^

Thanks soooo much to you guys for posting your findings and observations. Ill keep everyone posted as well with my stock uca clearance and fox shocks.
Damn, 3 weeks wait time on these too.... Seems like the magic number. However I did place my order and orw is selling them below list of $130. I bought some bilstein 4600's locally until then. Ill post these up in 3 weeks after I get my fox installed.
wait, you bought shocks just to replace in 3 weeks? why?
It's my daily and my front shocks have disconnected themselves at the shaft :/
The 2.0 listed here is an aluminum body internal float piston vs a steel body emulsion shock. The aluminum gives it the oil capacity characteristics of the 2.5 steel body bc the aluminum cools quicker. Not to mention much cheaper to produce! Both are revalveable and rebuildable.

Exactly!
This universal fit offering from Fox looks like a good L shock alternativehttp://www.ridefox.com/product.php?make=Universal&model=Stem%20Top%20-%20Eyelet&t=shocks&year=&position=10&m=truck&p=23&ref=filter
The problem with these is the collapsed length is 2" longer than stock, so you might have to extend your bumpstops.
they actually have an inch less travel than the L shocks
60071L: 26.5 15.24 11.26 travel
985-274-009: 26.15 16.05 10.1 travel
