Finished my comparison of the stock Ford shocks to the Fox 2.0 Performance shocks. Here's my take:

 

Video is unavailable.

 

video is not working for me

 

I have a documented habit of failing to hit the Publish button until someone at FTE tells me. Should be available now.

 

Good video. Thanks.

 

As always, great video

 

Thanks. I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about the approach and conclusions. Evaluating shocks fairly is probably best left to engineers as there are so many variables. This is a Joe Average attempt at quantifying something that can be hugely subjective.

 

Great video. Thanks for going through the effort. You just pushed me over the edge. I will break out the credit card in the morning.

 

Great video, but you missed out some of the greatest advantages of having a top tier shock like Foxes. They are valvable (its cheap and easy to do/have done) so you can customize the ride to EXACTLY the way you want it. And they are rebuildable. You can service these shocks and keep them for the life of the truck, or even way past that. The service parts are cheap and you can honestly do them yourself in an afternoon.

Etiher way, its great to see some data points, even if it is pseudo-science

 

Which model Fox shocks did you install?

 

GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks.

 

You've been saying they're easy and I'm definitely interested. I've rebuilt motorcycle forks a hundred times but when I looked quickly at these, I can't see how to get into them. Dude, you need to to a video of how to rebuild Fox shocks. That would be epic.

 

They are the 2.0 Performance model with the aluminum body.

 

I'm thinking about going with a high flow valving plate on my front 2.5s, it will be essentially the same as the 2.0s, I'll definitely do it. If you've done forks you can do these, easy peesy. Only thing you need is a way to charge them back up to 200psi with Nitrogen. I bought a charging kit cause I like to play with valving, but you can easily take it to any car shop and they'll blast em with 200psi for you for a couple bucks, most guys around me even do it for free.

 

Could someone put up some part numbers as well as the prt numbers for the conversion from poly performance? That would make life a little easier for those of us who are about to make a dontation to the Fox Gods.
