Fox make great products. Used them on every sled I ever had.

Looks incredible.

Instead of running the bump stop drops with OEM style bump stops has anyone thought about running a 2.0 hydraulic bump stop/hydro can?

@tricon thoughts?

Haha, I've definitely thought about it. I even took to measurements and figured out where the cans would go... But I'm not ready to weld the mounts to the frame... Yet.

I think I would go with bypass shocks first, then hydro bumps.

Gotta let the wife cool off for a little while. After buying the truck, a 27' toy hauler and a new KTM.... She's a hot potato right now

oh man... how'd you get it? it's not available yet. I really think I want to swap my 2.5" kit for the 4.5"
do you know if any of the parts are used in both kits besides the track bar?
doesn't look like it, except maybe the brake lines

Not sure exactly. I "think" distributors are taking orders...

I got it because Carli posted on Facebook that they needed a truck to install on to take pics for the instruction manual. I jumped in with both feet.... I had their stuff on my older Ram and have been waiting for their 4" lift option since I bought my '17.

The craftsmanship is why I will continue to buy Carli products. The pics speak for themselves.
35 or 37’s? How tall are your bed rails from ground to top of rail?

bypass and cans would be a lot of shock for 9" of travel? is that all these trucks pull?

But man it'd be silky smooth and look blingy as F!

Theres a new pair of Fox 2.0's cans (i think in the ~3" stroke flavor) for sale for like 500$ on IG. username corrosive_design aka Garrett Peterson. DO EET

Carli Stabilizer for the 17's. Apparently it's the same adapter as the 11-16s, but with the proper shorter stabilizer unit.

Couple questions, we had some customers telling us that, they have had leaking king shocks and it’s taken 30+ days to get them warrantied. Is this a common problem?

Also who was the dealer that had the kits in stock now?

This is the first I heard of long wait times for warranty issues. Those guys are usually on the ball. There might be more to the story.

Check with Cody or Cole at CJC Offroad tel:844-252-6373 They seem to be the authority on Carli products besides Carli themselves.

Anyone have the King Coilovers with their Carli lift? I plan on going this route soon and would like to hear some feedback from anyone that has insight on it

I'm not 100% sure but I think you need to cut and grind out your spring towers and weld in new buckets. I've seen pics of new SD with coilovers so I know it can be done. Not sure I want to start hacking up my frame and trusting someone to properly weld on a crucial component of your truck back on. I'd recommend just sticking with their pintop kit unless you like to gamble and have 10k burning a hole in your pocket.

You are correct, Carlis buckets for the 17 are weld on, the previous years were bolt on. I believe the BDS kit with Fox coil overs has a bolt in top bracket that goes in your stock buckets if you really wanted coil overs. I think I'd probably go with the pin top over that personally.
