who hates the stocks raptor suspensions

One of the vendors posted up a video of how noisy the external bypass shocks are, but I cant seem to find the video when I do a search. Maybe someone with mad search skills can find it.

Yes, icon has hi to low comp adjustment knobs with pre load adjustment
Fox 3.0 in the front only has pre load adjusrment

Rpg only offers fox suspension on their set up.

How noise could be a fox 3.0 external bypasses? Do they get anoying by the time?

Wow... what a rollar-coaster of a thread.

The shocks really don't make much noise. Turn the radio up if they do. Nosbusa can hook you up whatever your ready.

Put MBRP 3.5" turn down and you can't hear them anymore... :evil:

Why mix the shocks? You realize you can just buy springs/bump from RPG, then put whatever shocks you want on, right?

I'd get the Icons all around, if it was my money. In my personal opinion, they perform better all around, and have more flexibility! Plus, the Icon front and rears have a built in bump stop, internal to the shock, which makes bottoming the shocks out next to impossible. On top of all that, they're silent!

Not to mention the Fox 3.0's are actually a 2.5" piston... so now you're going to have 2.5" shocks in the rear, and 3.0" shocks up front?

It's your money... that just seems ridiculous.

And if your not in a rush ICON is about to release a bump-stop kit with ICON built bump shocks, specifically designed for the Raptor. Personally I would keep every thing one brand.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Fox's do as well.

Again correct me if I'm wrong but this is true industry wide. The number of the shock is the external diameter and does not relate to the piston size at all.
