Seems to me, @Fb73 needs to man-up and mash that throttle!

Hard to feel confident in the truck when you feel it's loosing control/traction over all the small stuff !!

As @JanT said, adjusters on one side got ripped off day 1 so adjusting compression wasnt an option no more...High speed comp was obvisously too tighten (stiff), slow speed comp and rebound was doing its job...So we tried to adjust otherside, basically opening comp tubes to soften the suspension...It was better but there was still a HUGE difference compared to Jan's Icon shocks...

After over 2000 miles in the desert with my finnish friend, we came to that conclusion :

- Fox or Icons front 3.0" coil over performed really well, I would give a little advantage on Fox for the dual speed compression, allowing a wider range of adjustment
- Having a bump stop kit was aboslutely necessary, those things saved us from some really nasty hits
- Considering we had to carry around 800-900lbs of stuff in bed and cabin, rear suspension was therefore sitting quite low, even with both trucks equipped with Deaver +3"...All that missing uptravel is for me maybe the most important point, leading to that "donkey kicks" feeling, whatever brand of 3.0" you have...We have no choice but to carry all this stuff cuz we'r on our own for three weeks in the desert, so ligthening the bed load isn't an option...

Conclusion : Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack, Bypass rack !!

@Fb73 and repeat this...3.5's, 3.5's, 3.5's, 3.5's, 3.5's

That's a lot of weight in the bed for those 3.0's

Is anyone aware of delivering issues of Front Fox 3.0?
I have ordered them but in April, but still not delivery the supplier says that Fox cannot keep up with manufacturing raptor shocks and it is going to take some time longer.
He offered me King shocks but I'm sticking with Fox for the annual inspection.
So does anyone know about delivery issues of Fox 3.0?

Several people told me that Fox timetable has actually gone crazy last weeks/months, with waiting times up to 20 weeks...You will see your coil overs, maybe...one day...

The french importer told me the story about your shocks, as he was quite disapointed to wait some much time, but couldn't do anything until Fox actually decide to build your shocks !

Not a good reputation for Fox then.
I will send them a mail directly and hopefully they will answer.
Does anyone know a good email address to send a complaint for a Fox shock to?

You noticed the fox's not doing well on chop with the rear packing 800 pounds of stuff ? Or unloaded as well ?

I saw a dramatic difference between the icon and fox coilovers on chop, the icons were brutal, even on the softest setting. The fox coilovers were better on all types of terrain for me. I preffered the icon rears because of the quiet bypasses though. Performance and ride wise, there was no difference between the icon or fox external bypass 3.0's...
