FOX Suspension Set up

I'm off to All Pro to pick up the FOX full suspension kit. I'll post more when I get them installed. Late Xmas Present to myself!

1/1/08
I installed the entire suspension today. Took about 5 hours to complete.

I replaced the stock with:

FOX Adjustable reservior front coil overs
FOX Adjustable reservior Rear shocks
Rear Coil Springs
Adjustable Upper links
Heavy duty lower links
17" stainless rear brake lines.

Install was straight forward and simple.

Take a look at the before and after.

Before:




After:

Re: FOX Suspension Set up

TY for all the Picts !... Looks Really Nice Lifted !...
From the looks of the pictures, you did a great job
on the install...

How ya' like the adjustable reservoirs ?... Played
with the setting yet ?... I have the Walker Evans
version, and would never go with anything else
that was not adjustable... To be able to set the
dampening to your owns likes is just awsome IMO...

This suspension is unbelievable. Its like floating on air. I have the rear set just a click softer. I thought stock was pretty good...Boy was I wrong.
