Hi all- surveying the community here for those who have external reservoirs on their system.

I have the Fox 3.0 factory race series suspension and let me tell ya- getting that front suspension to align right was a nightmare. I think I have the externals as far forward as they can go, but the reservoir hoses still are awfully close to the coils if not almost nearly / lightly touching (see pics). Anybody have this issue and any worry about rub and causing bigger headaches, or should they support the abuse?

Mine are supposed to arrive tomorrow and will be installing them in the next couple of weeks. I got the rear shocks today. How much lift over stock did you see? I currently have Eibachs on the stock Live Valve shocks which netted me about 2in of lift in the front. I suspect I’m going to lose some lift with the Race Series coil overs but understand they can be preload them some. Did you preload yours any?

You’ll probably see about 1”

Also a lot of people get hard plastic cable wrap to protect the reservoir cables.
