Contemplating taking off my Fox Shocks Factory Race 3.0's

[Krazykorean]

surprised you didn't keep the oem shocks. you recoup your costs when you restore it back to OEM to sell/trade or in your case, buyers remorse and then sell the 3.0's on FRF...

I actually kept them, then found live valve setup come up and then sold my 2018 set and now I have low mileage 2020 set.

How much was the live valve kit delete and conversion?

I would swap the 3.0 FRS shocks for the ‘20 live valve shocks, but don’t use the lv delete. Use the E Clik instead, it’ll be much better. Honestly, there’s no benefit to the FRS shocks over the oem live valve shocks for your use once you have the E Clik or DSC, there’s only an advantage in fade resistance due to oil capacity, but that’s not something that’ll make a difference on the street or even light off road. But having computer control over the valves is the game changer.

If you want to take it up a level, have SDI revalve your ‘20 shocks for the E Clik.

What did you end up deciding to do?

What did you end up deciding to do?

Going to remove the 3.0s and ICON UCAs in the next coming weeks.

Going to just run the OEM shocks with eibachs front and ICON leafs rear and sell everything else.

Update! I just decided to put the OEM with Eibachs and OEM UCAs and alignment was fine. Sold the setup.

But still have the UCAs for sale in the Garage section. if anyone is interested.

What do you think of the change?

What do you think of the change?

I totally forgot how the OEM shocks and Eibachs felt. Fox 3.0 race are 10000% better but was such a waste since I never did take it off road. Not ashamed to admit it. That was the full intent but never happened. I’d rather have that money in my pocket and I don’t mind the ride.

I have a 2020 raptor and have seen a lot about this e clik stuff. What will this upgrade do for my truck? What is cost as well?
thanks!

It allows the shocks to be controlled at a much higher frequency, 500Hz vs 30Hz. In other words, the shocks are receiving data from the dynamic control module about 15+ times as fast/often, which provides much more control over the shocks, and the EClik uses values outside if the factory mapping. EClik or DSC controllers do what an ecu tune does for power, it gets the most possible performance out of your stock hardware utilizing just software changes.

Being able to control the valving based on all the metrics canbus is monitoring allows you to tune the suspension performance and behavior with no changes to the dampers themselves.
