FOX 3.0 shocks for RAM 1500 2023

[jason ross]

Hey guys,

Has anyone fitted FOX 3.0 Shocks to their RAM? I currently have FOX 2.5 DSC fitted at the moment. I want to move that's set up to my other Ram (same gen) and try the FOX 3.0.

Thanks

They don't make them for Ram. You would have to do a lot of customization to get them fitted.

they don't make them for us because our coilover buckets will not fit 3.0s.

to fit them, you will need to do a full custom job:

• remove stock coilover bucket and weld in a wider/ bigger coilover bucket - that's a custom fabrication item.
• replace UCA - most likely custom fabrication since the dimensions are different
• Give your suspension geometry and spec to Fox, and order full custom solution.

At that point, you might as well add in LCA and custom frame hoops for bypasses as well. You can probably retain the spindle though, and you might as well get fiberglass fender as well.

The rear is easy completely doable without much custom fab required. But at that point, you might as well swap the arms and all the lines for more travel and add limit straps.

Understand this:
3.0" shocks don't necessary add MORE travel. It holds more fluid so heat doesn't do that much of damage to the fluids.
If you're looking for actual performance gain, consider revalving/ tuning to get better shock compression and rebound, and up the spring rates in the front a bit more for better compression when landing from a jump. These are all things that are much more cost effective than doing a full custom fab work.

So, trade in your 1500 for an RHO or TRX and get a multitude of 3.0 offerings designed for that specific platform.

Those come with active Bilsteins. There is no reason to change them out. You can't get better. and you would lose the active program.

yes.

and regarding the bilsteins... of course you can get better than those with tuned Kings.
They ran a TRX with built 2500s on full Thuren catalogue before in the DTX group... stock TRX couldn't even keep up with the slowest HD in the fast group through the whoops.

that's precisely why Thuren is working on King applications for those - the RHO application is on their shop RHO already and being perfected - 3.0 in the front, 3.5 with bypass in the rear.
