If I follow this correctly, the entire rod end/piston rod needs to rotate just a little so the bolt hole align. There is a lot of force from the spring pushing down on the lower spring perch/rod end, keeping it from rotating easily. If you cannot get a firm grip on it and rotate by hand, you may have to get creative and use some leverage to rotate it. Shouldnt take much to get them alignedGot my Fox 2.5 and started the install this week! Rear is done but now having a serious challenge to place the lower as i cant get the bolt to align with the shock thread. Already searched and watched a few install videos before but cant find anything on this. I appreciate any suggestions
Out of the box, it sat a little nose high. Spring rates in the rear are too soft, we're currently working on a solution. We are expecting to do quite a bit of tuning to get these riding how they should.
Not really something for us to tell a large manufacture like that to change. The way they are being sold may be fine for them and others.
I guess I should've asked, on your application do you guys have added weight on the back of the Bronco or is it stock where you're seeing the rears being too soft?
Stock weight rear.
Thanks for the info. I’m still trying to decide on new wheels so everything is still sitting on a workbench. That was my fear that the front or back would be too high/low… at least the rear seems easier to pull out and adjust than the front shocks.
Still working on the specifics, but we will be offering a different piston and spring upgrade for the rear Fox shocks. Spring rate is too soft in our opinion and valving needed some help.
