Fox 2.0 Performance Series Availability

I just ordered the readylift 2.5 leveling kit for my 2018 CCLB and wanted to also upgrade the shocks to Fox 2.0s. But it seems I can’t find them anywhere in stock, especially the front ones. I believe the Fox part number is 985-24-155 for the 2-3.5 lift version. Any suggestions? I want to get this done soon and am thinking might just get some Bilstein 5100s instead. Truck is mostly on road unloaded and only see offroad or heavy loads occasionally. Would Bilsteins be a downgrade from the Fox’s from on road ride quality perspective?

The shocks are available, they are low stock but I ordered my set just fine and they arrived. I did these on my work truck and I used the Elka shocks on the wife's truck. I do prefer the ride of the Elka but the Fox shocks are a value compromise.

I ordered a 2 1/2" leveling kit with the Fox 2.0 upgrade and an adjustable track bar from PMF Suspension on 11/30. All the parts arrived two days ago.

the oil in the shock s get hot as they operate and as they get hot...they tin out vescosity........reservoir shocks have more oil and they take longer to heat up.

I have a car buddy that was an engineer with a major shock company (retired now). I asked him his opinion between the Fox 2.0 and the Billstein and he said the Billsteins are a better shock and that the Fox 2.0 are over rated.
