No update yet... but it should be soon. Im having troubles getting a hold of my contact over there lately. They may be out for vacation.
Bump because it's Monday and vacation is over 
Who is going to be the initial vendor for these? I was going to order some Fox 2.5 RR's for my build anyway and just fab some mounts, but if I can buy some bolt on's that would be nice.

i'm in for my upcoming build!
I've been watching this as well. My OME shocks are working OK, but they are ancient so I've been thinkin of replacing them.
I'm lookin forward to these. I am finishing up my rear rebuild and these will be a good replacement for the OME.
Update?
What springs are these designed to work with. From what I understand, something like an OME and Slee would use significantly different shock valving.
What is the difference between these shocks and the fox 2.0 that people have used in the past?

Hate to be a broken record, but any Updates? And where will these be up for sale? I'm guessing any FOX dealer.
This thread was started 5 months ago. Come on with the updates and pics already!
Wonder why fox, icon and king have not come out with suspension kits for the 80. Icon and Fox are working on one now but why barely now? Is it that different of a rig and more difficult to design and spec out a kit? They all have IFS kits and folks love them. Just curious.
It looks like ICON is jumping into the game!

Interesting that ICON has jumped on this as well.
Ok, talked to my contact at Fox last night. These shocks are debuting at SEMA this year. You'll be able to see them there and ask questions. Also, i found out that the Lift kits sizes will be OE,2-3,4-6. Hope this helps.
We're still waiting for a component to finish building the teardrop Fox shocks. Once received at that time i'll get them on test and photograph for you guys.

Wow! Another two months until SEMA.
Yeah, and I find it interesting that companies can have lifts and shocks for next years models within a month or so of their release, but it takes them over 8 months to develop a shock for a vehicle that is over 20 years old....
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to their release, but really

Yeah i have no control and in all reality, im sure the 80 series is a tiny market for Fox. Im just happy they're doing it at all.
I wonder if Icon and Fox will showcase the 80 suspension at SEMA...hmmm
