Fox shocks 2.0 with resivoir

[orange71]

Fox makes those shocks in a 6 inch version so your not buying a shock that has more travel than the suspension. When you setup an air ride suspension it is hard to figure out what shocks will best fit your needs.

So instead of measuring and calculating, you suggest someone "just get a Fox remote reservoir shock" and all will be good?

What kind of measuring and calculating would this be?

Measuring the overall travel requirements based on suspension extension/compression & calculating the proper shock length for that given distance then researching shock p/n's from that information (that's how I do my stuff).

Thanks for the info, im aware of how to to setup the shock i thought XXL was getting in the valving of the shock

The Fox 2.0 shock's most redeeming value is the ability to change the rebound and compression damping for the suspension set up and shock placement. The external reservoir is overkill, sure, but it adds a certain look that is much more appealing than looking at normal shocks that most guys use such as Doetsch, Monroe, etc. As has been already brought to light, the Fox 2.0 starts at a 6-inch stroke and goes up from there so any argument about having a long-travel off road shock is simply frivolous. I have used them on many builds both lifted, lowered, and airbagged with great results. Set up can take a bit of effort to get the ride how you want it if you are not accustomed to the nomenclature of shock settings but is no major voodoo. I say get some and be happy.
