Fox 2.5 Performance Series HTO Shocks

Am I correct that in assuming these are maybe the next step up from something like the Eibach 2.0 kit that should allow you to go to 37's and also offer a degree of adjustable lift height?

I assume in my case I'd need to get different (longer/stiffer) springs since I have a non-sas badlands and have the ford winch that would go on when I do the upgrade

Thanks! Looks great! Did you setup your springs as the instructions say to or did you find that you needed to increase or decrease pre load using the adjustable collar?

Looks great with a little extra lift. What size KO2s are those?

 

[Dust Hazard]

No worries and thanks! Mine were pretty close to the lowest setting right out of the box, but the shop backed them off a bit more to get as close to factory preload as possible while still keeping some tension on the spring. That said, with the OEM Sasquatch springs, you really can’t go much lower — the springs are tall and stiff, so even at the lowest setting, I still ended up with about 1.75" of lift up front and 1.25" in the rear. What’s really nice about this setup is how easy it is to make adjustments later on — whether you want more height or decide to run larger tires.

 

[Dust Hazard]

Sorry, I missed one of your questions. The tire size is LT315/70R17.

I came across these today and was curious if anyone is running them or has any input regarding them.

They seem like a good option for those not needing external reservoirs but looking for a nice upgrade. They do allow you to reuse the OEM coil spring as well.

$398 each is not bad. Same place I got my 6100s.

Good price but the rears are backordered like everyone else except eBay who mostly can't be trusted.... they say yes, take your money then tell you it's back ordered

Good to know. Waiting until Eibach 2.5s come out then I will decide. Really like the 6100s but would like a little more plush ride with option to use a wrench and adjust height installed. Maybe move to K03 37s Cs in 2026.

I was looking at those on that website earlier today.

I am not sure why, but they only have the fronts listed. The rear is a separate part number (987-62-001).

I talked to Fox today and these are all in stock with them. They said some vendors keep stock with wholesale places. Also said the rears are new and places like Stage 3 can get them, just not up on the website yet
I called Shock surplus since I already paid them and they did a discount to get closer than jeepparts. Com who adds shipping fees

Can anyone share what spanner wrench they used on these? Fox gave me a part number of Fox 803-00-732 and it does not fit. Called back and well, they are not sure

this is the one that does not fit

Did you install already? If so, how's the ride?

Not yet, waiting on getting a spanner wrench

Appartenly, Fox has the same issue with their own spanner wrench not fitting their 2.5" Performance Elite coilovers too.

Well, got em in finally. Went up 1” up front and 1/2” back. Still have 1/2” lean that I wanted
Only got 20 miles on it but so far it’s good.
A trusted off road speciality shop did the installation and said they are not adjustable on the rig and had to pull them 3 times to dial it in

 

[Truckin]

Just did my maiden voyage to work on a route I’ve driven daily for years and know every bump.
Can’t speak for off road yet but on crappy washboard roads this setup is great! Potholes, railroad tracks can barely fell em, have a highway circular off ramp that’s 25 mph. Tried 50 mph last night and had almost no lean.
comparing to a stage 3 Halo setup on a 150 Tremor that was near $4k, these ride as good if not better
