I installed some Fox 3.2 on my truck today and they’re awesome!

That’s very enlightening. I say that because when I contemplate trading in I wonder why a 37 is so much more expensive and unless I’m mistaken it comes with these shocks so that partially explains it. But I’m guessing they are only a few thousand more than what is in the 35? Or are those even better than what come in 37?
The 3.2 shocks are arguably leagues better than the OEM 37P DLV shocks

ah, ok, so I was wrong. (Don't tell my wife. lol). I know the 37s come with dual valve so I thought that's what these were but I realize they don't come with that reservoir.

Yeah these are Offroading shocks. If youre a 100% pavement truck theyll still benefit but the shine is truly off-road and typically for street trucks I just recommend sdi top hats.

unfortunate that you can only get 1/4-1/2 inch of lift or I would probably get them.

We measured them on a customer truck and that 1/2” was almost dead level. Going from that trucks gen 2 FRS at 1” preload (2” lift) to the gen 3 he only lost about 1/2” which would be closer to 1.5” lift.

Not sure where theyre math came from besides the shock body being slightly longer which is why. But youll get a solid level of height.

Do these upgraded shocks let you run a 37 on a 35 full compression?
Well the front shocks limit travel to 13” just like a 37 truck, so definitely yes for that. The rear is a different story. Travel in the rear is set by the bump stops bolted to the frame. There is no impact on range of motion for the rear unless you change the bump stops.

Wait does the Fox 3.2 kits come with bump stops?
@Johnny@Apollo-Optics @taquitos
If so that’s awesome!
I have sdi top hats and a 1” rpg spacer for my 801a ‘24 and have been batting around getting the 3.2s. Im guessing with my top hats and spacers these 3.2s would then raise me up another 1/2” front and back correct?

If they don’t include them, and i need to purchase a set for front and back what’s the difference between hydraulic bump stops and bump stop spacers like the ones Index sells….
