Comparing shock lengths, you will see they will all be very similar. All shock manufacturers (including us) are focused on getting customers the most travel possible without doing heavy modifications. As a shock/suspension guru I would focus on all the other benefits of aftermarket shocks and...

Great write up with legitimate experience to back it up. Thanks for what you do @popo_patty !!

Another vote for not buying used, and not just bc we want to sell you new shocks. You would be amazed at some of the shocks we get sent in for basic service work, that turn into a nightmare. Parts & labor add up quick and often times its hard to see without the shocks being opened up. 😁 If you...

Thanks! @mirey if you have any specific questions about Fox, King, Ride feel free to send us a message, happy to help answer any questions you have.

We truthfully do not have a lot of hands on experience with the HTO shocks. We do not offer tuning on the HTO shocks, so we have not brought them in for testing. We recommend going with a remote reservoir shock for better performance and tunability!

We have two great choices for leveling kits! Eibach makes a great leveling kit if you want to maintain close to stock ride height and similar ride quality, with some improvements on small-bump compliance.

Adventure Tune Our Adventure Tune is designed for daily drivers who want a smooth, comfortable on-road ride without sacrificing off-road capability. It delivers a soft, compliant feel on pavement, while firming up over larger impacts to prevent bottoming out. This makes it the perfect balance...

Good question, not sure why they havn't made an IBP for the regular Bronco yet. They do have a 3.0 IBP for the Bronco Raptor.

Trying to decide between Fox, King, and Ride Shocks for your Ford Bronco? In our newest article, we break them down side by side to compare the design, adjustability, performance, and real world feel so you can figure out which setup actually fits your build. Take a look and post up any...

We got a reply from our rep and they are expecting to have them released in Q4 this year. Unfortunately still a bit of a wait.

I put in a request to our sales rep to get an idea on release date. Good chance we will get first dibs if anyone is interested.

We do take tire size into consideration for tuning but it’s not as big of an issue as additional sprung weight would be. Tire size & weight would be considered un-sprung weight. The difference between 35” tires and 37” tires is not going to dramatically affect the tuning that comes in these...

Great question and hopefully your father in law is enjoying those new King Shocks! We’re actually wrapping up an article that will compare both Fox and King to Ride Shocks. In fact, I’ll share an early release link so this forum can see it first. Not 100% complete, but good enough to share...

I can’t speak for the other brands, as we do not have much hands-on experience with them, but Kings are a great choice! Paired with our tuning, the shocks are a lot smoother on-road, more controlled over freeway hop and washboard. We upgrade the pistons from the digressive pistons the rear...

No ill-will intended, and we are relaxed, enjoying low 70s for "Winter" here in San Diego! Let us know if anyone has any questions!

We are very well aware that is not a standard offering of Vasher's. We communicate with them about different projects and have assisted with Commercially Available Products, as well as personal ones. Let's keep the Vasher Designs discussion to another thread to keep from de-railing this one.

In Vasher's setups, we have assisted him with Fox Performance Series 2.5 coilovers using 7/8" shafts, which are still not seeing any side loading, because he is doing well to prevent the shock mounts from binding throughout travel.

Forums are awesome because they bring perspectives from all over the place together in one place. That being said, I think a lot of what is being said about shaft strength is being taken from the car world and other places where MacPherson Struts put Steering Loads on the Shaft (1.00-1.50" diam...

You will only be side-loading your shocks if the mounts on top and bottom completely bind up, and attempt to bend the shock, which should not be happening with any considerable force. As it pertains to the Toyotas, I would want to see exactly what you are talking about, but in many cases they...

The shocks should be seeing little to no side loads. Otherwise the base-model struts, and the Hoss Series Bilsteins would be folding in every mall parking lot. So anyone claiming their bigger shock is "Stronger" is oversimplifying and pandering. Shock diameter, and shaft diameters are all parts...
