Bye Felicia! (FX4 shocks)

[puckdodger]

My list was Bilstein, Fox, Eibach. ??

Bilsteins are about 4 thousand months backordered now. Don't think it would make much difference, but sooner is better than later in this case

Any shocks on the rear will be better than the stock FX4 shocks. I had Fox shocks from Ford, blew those up after I put new springs in the rear and replaced them with the ARB shocks that matched the springs. Gave me a bit of a lift in the rear so I can haul my trailer and be level still. The wife has a bit of a problem getting in since she's all of 5'2" tall.f Made it worse for her after I put on larger tires. Oh well, at least I'm not afraid now to drive down these rocky trails in AZ and NV.

Protects the shock from impacts of rocks and other debris kicked up by the tires.

can these roost guards be ordered separately and installed on my existing Fox 2.0’s?

Not sure, but seems very likely.

Yup. That’s why I was like… well Fox then. Lol

Ok, then on to the next question: orientation of the roost guards.

There is only way way they will fit due to the mounting location on Axle. I’ll go snap some more pics. I’m working on my truck all weekend with random stuff

Can confirm the install is relatively easy, the results are indeed night and day difference. My wife said she doesn't mind now if we take my truck on a leisurely drive around on a weekend now. Side to side shimmy is gone, back end about 3/4 inch higher.

Could compress stockers by leaning on them, no way with the Eibachs.

To anyone on the fence about this upgrade: do it. You will not be sorry you did.

What the hell does "Bye Felicia" mean?

Question to those who only replaced the rear shocks at this point... Did it raise the rear of the truck more than stock and increase the rake noticeably?
