Default Fox racing shox...Thinking bout it

I have Rancho lift and like it but with winch and other stuff mounted up front plus age on shocks I've been debating on these fox shox! I could adjust spring rate for weight then of course comp/rebound too

I just put the same shocks on my silverado, but went with the non-resi version.
I figure if I'm going to need that reservoir, stock suspension wont cut it anyway.
I got those and the camburg upper control arms.
I love the ride. It is wife approved.
Fits my 295/70/17's nice.

By the way, even if you dont plan on offroading, these are very street friendly and will make your truck handle tremendously better on the street.

I checked into those a little bit ago. I don't do enough off roading to justify the expense. They are high dollar, they are bad a$$ though. I would do it if I had the extra coin.

Nice truck man! Is it me or do you have slight camber on those front wheels? If you don't mind me asking but how much did you pay for your shocks?

Its an optical illusion because of the angle of the lower arms. They are actually only .2 degree off center. These pics were taken just after I put the arms and coilovers on. Didnt have it aligned at the time but the only thing that needed change was the toe in. It was really bad before the allignement.
Retail is $1150 I think. I didnt pay that because I have my resale permit.
Im a Huntington Beach local so I also got a discount on the Camburg arms.

So does that mean you could possibly forward those discounts to us possibly?
