Gen 2 OE rear shocks on gen 1

So how will this work running 37”tires?

So finally thrashed my around. For limit straps I welded a tab on the frame next to strut tower, and then used the lower tie rod placement for the other end. Landing is great, ride is great. I went full bump and had zero issue. Did not rebound back off the ground, stayed planted and all was well!

If and when you can , can you get pics of the limit strap set up.

And I went with 16 inch with a high mount placement to avoid brake lines and all. I’ll have pictures soon. I order tabs off of amazon I’ll attach a link for the tabs and straps I bought.

Excuse my ignorance here, but what are the differences bewtween the Ford Fox 3.0’s and Fox 3.0’s bought from a dealer like RPG or SDHQ, other than price, and valving in RPG’s store?

i dont know how in depth everyone has gone in here.

but the body size alone is enough to look and see you are not getting proper shock travel on a stock truck.

if you were lifted or aftermarket i could see this working well potentially. NOT on a stock truck stock travel.

Which you are right, but while using the gen1 springs which have a higher spring rate it pushes the truck up to mid perch if not a .5 inch taller. Calving May be a tad off, but it’s a good option for people wanting to save a buck. I haven’t had any issues at all.

try jumping it.

try jumping it.

And I have, lands just fine, no issues. Lands a tad softer than before. No rebound bouncing or anything.

I think if people are jumping with this setup then they are ill-informed. (I mean prerunner type jumping, which would of course benefit from a complete suspension upgrade)
