And man, what a difference they make! I was literally laughing at how much better they are over the stock rear shocks with the FX4 package. It's like night and day, and it only took me like half an hour to install. I can't imagine a better bang for your buck than upgrading the rear suspension. I'll probably get the Fox 2.0 coilovers installed in the future.

Upgrading my rear shocks is on my extreme short list. Can't wait!

Same here. Easy upgrade. I just run 4 or 5 lbs more air in the front tires and it balances out pretty well. Give it a try.

So can anyone chime in on what towing is like after this upgrade? I tow about 5000 lbs so the tongue weight is about 500 ish or so. If I can get rid of some of the porpoising Iā€™d be happy. Have FX2 now so yā€™all know those shocks as Iā€™m pretty sure theyā€™re the same as the FX4 ones.

That is what I am doing also. Please please do not start a debate about air pressure folks. Please run the pressure on your door and not what I do :p

It can only help improve things.
