Anyone have FOX 2.0's Installed

[Mattdunne1985]

So I will have front and rear soon. I was just curious if anyone had them and what their opinions were. I was gifted the coilovers and the rears from my brother but i cant seem to find much info for them on RAMs. I should have installed and new Tires next week and ill post some photos. Thanks for any info.

i consider 2.0s beginner shocks. Similar to Bilstein 5100s but with Fox valving.
Ok to run but if you're gonna hit a lot of trails, especially doing higher speed, plan to upgrade.

Yeah. I don’t go off road much at all. Mainly commuter for me. There is a local ad a guy has the icon 2.5 2-3” VSRR set for $1k. Like half price. But I don’t know that I need it and these were free to me.

I believe the 2.0 are rebuildable, if so depending miles, you might want to before installing since free. They claim rebuilds for coilovers are around 50K.

I don't believe the Fox 2.0's are rebuildable, if I recall from my buying cycle.

But I do think they are good quality, and unlike the Fox 2.5's, they should last closer to 100k miles.

But as mentioned, they are good shocks depending on your expectations.
No 2.0 Shock will transform your rig into a TRX.

Rather, premium 2.0's are great for giving you increased ride height, and has damping better suited to handling heavier wheel/tire setups, as stock damping can go to crap with a heavy setup, even if it performs very well stock. So generally improved handling on the street.

Shock Service - Fox 2.0 Reservoir Rebuild

To Service or Not to Service? Rebuilding the Fox 2.0 Reservoir shock is a no-brainer in terms of cost benefit. When you can get your shocks serviced for about $100-125 each, this far outweighs the cost of purchasing a brand new set ($1000-1200). When people purchase brand new Fox shocks, they...

Interesting... though that article is confusing my lizard brain.
Seems to make reference to 2.0 sets with reservoirs, though halfway down the page they drop that suffix and show non-resi images; I am not sure if that makes a difference.
Looks to be a service Shock Surplus offers.

I think the adventure series might not be rebuildable. Haven't looked into them. I contemplated the 2.0 Performance series, but bit the bullet on the BDS 3" w/ Fox 2.5.

Fox 2.0 Performance series has reservoirs. The Regular 2.0' do not. Both are rebuildable.

i wouldn't touch icons even if someone pays me to take them.
the fox 2.0 is perfect for your use. go for them!

not even the 2.5s will get you anywhere close to TRX level...
at least not the ones off the shelf. Carli Performance King 2.5 are closer, but still nowhere close. To achieve close to TRX i need custom long travel that's tuned to my truck's weight.

Yes they are rebuildable. They are brand new though.. My bro had a hookup and got them for me as a thank you for some side projects I’ve done for him.

Looks good man! What year is your truck and what product number did you use for your rebel rear coil springs? I currently have 1” Motofab rear spacer but would like to upgrade to a 1” rear coil spring. Either ORP or Rebel spring would work for me. Just don’t know which product number (S/N) to order.

Sitting at same ride height with Bilstein 5112 all around and F+R ORP springs and Mopar lift uca's. Getting ready to put Mickey's 285/65/20s on fuel rebel 20x9 with a +1 offset. Put 275/65 in atturo xt but wanted a tad wider and better quality tires. U like the Baja's so far?

How did you get a 2.5” lift out of the fox 2.0s? Did you add a spacer?

If you read what you posted to, you would see he adjusted the coilovers up another 6 turns

 

[DOFF]

Ya I guess fully reading would help I was unaware you could get 2.5” lift from the 2.0s. Thought the max height was 2”

I've done it before as well lol. I have seen some people throw the motofab .5 spacer on top which isn't enough to hurt anything.
