    2.5 res shocks / coilover advise

    Which fox 2.5s were you using? From what I can see they have 3 different ones with the "performance elite" the "factory race" and the "factory race internal bypass" Couldn't tell you the performance difference between the 3 though

    2.5 res shocks / coilover advise

    Anyone got any longer term performance and durability info on various 2.5 res shocks out there. Seems to be a few out there with King, Fox has a few "levels", blistien, icon, falcon etc... Feel like id lean on the rep of king or fox above the others but I only briefly ran fox 2.0s and never...

    2.5 res shocks / coilover advise

    Truly a want. It's something I have the money and the time for at the moment, something that I want for the piece of mind wheeling with the V8 since I'm often alone. I'm well aware that to 4 link it I'm gonna be stripping and fabing things I could just buy done from fusion. However my kids are...

    2.5 res shocks / coilover advise

    The V8 and 1 tons are definitely steps on the way to a 110" wheelbase build in the future. Not trying to pretend it's something it's not by throwing coilovers on it for the sake of having them. Of all the conversations I've had the last few days sounds like king 2.5 res shocks is the better...

    2.5 res shocks / coilover advise

    I just ordered a set of crate axles from fusion. Went with their 60/14 bolt set up, just getting what I can ordered now while they are on there way. The 4 link down the road is a totally separate subject just is the reason for not wanting to do bigger weld on stuff for the time being. Just...

    2.5 res shocks / coilover advise

    Jerry, Ben and I were discussing this on my build thread but figured I might be able to pull some more advise on the JK specific thread. Looking to address some suspension upgrades when I pull my axles for the 1 ton swap. Im currently avoiding larger weld on projects for a future stretch plan...

    🤣🤣 bumps were on my short list too. Not that I'm too proud to be ghetto but I do have a good laugh from time to time hitting something fast off road with a 470Hp V8 only to come down on a $3 set of hockey puck bump stops

    12' Gecko Build

    The whole stretch 4 link deal is a good 10 years down the line (my retirement project plan) so looking for that 10 year solution before I go full under the knife and cut it all up. Was talking with Ben about doing just a coul and high performance shock Vs the bolt on coilovers route. Trying to...

    12' Gecko Build

    Oh ben and I were talking about the king 2.5 reservoir shocks not the coilovers. Are those weld on king coilovers? That is actually really good to see the rear of yours as the mini truss for the uppers is my plan too. Big difference on mine is the 2 door stretch and not being able to rear...

    Are you running the king 2.5 res shocks on your fusion 60/14 set up?

    12' Gecko Build

    At this point I'm going after the performance. Jeep is not a DD I hardly drive it to work like once or twice a month. Shoot I think my jeep has seen maybe 5k miles in the last 5 years. But V8 and 1 tons I need something better than the ranchos under there for sure. How often were you getting...

    I think the only argument I've heard against something like the king 2.5s is that they need to be rebuilt from time to time and if you cant do it yourself then shipping them off to king is a long wait and quite expensive where you could just buy a brand new set of ranchos every year and never...

    Thats kinda where I'm at. I got no problems running a coil and shock. The 3" coils and some nice shocks seems like a good option. Tons of options on shocks out there, would love to hear if something like a king 2.5 is worth the money or not. Coilovers sounds dope but only if the performance...

    Thats a good 10 years out. Im planning on it being my retirement project. Wanting to do the full triangulated 4 link move the gas tank 16" coilovers etc.... So kinda looking for a 10 year solution that will still be fun with the V8 and 1 tons without being a big fab job to be cut off later

    Alight reaching out for some advise here. Now that the new axles wheels and tires are bought and my old axles are sold i still have a healthy budget to address some suspension work while everything is out. I'm currently running 6 out of 8 adjustable control arms (front lowers are still stock)...
