Fox shocks are on and I didn’t do anything with preload before so I lost some height. Got to order a spanner wrench and get preload setup to get ride height back right. Is it easiest to just pull shock off to adjust preload? And what would be good starting point for preload?

I had stock shocks with spacers and it was good bit higher than now so I’m guessing I need to add preload to the same thickness as the spacer was. And how much will they settle?

They look awesome on there so I just got to get them adjusted right now

Man that is one sharp looking Machine. How is the axle angle working out? As for the lift are you using stock fox shocks? I see a lift coming to my address soon. Your machine looks BAD A$$

Thanks and yes stock Fox QS3 shocks. Axle angle is good with no issues on three mud rides with current setup.

Had to crank in some preload in front to get ride height back after Fox shocks install. Didn’t touch the rear but according to the outer bar under the Pioneer it’s sitting level. I went 2.5” down from housing to top of lock ring

Where is best place to check front to rear being level? I want to adjust rear tomorrow

Took rear preload to 1 1/4” and seems to be be good stance. Will see how it does on next ride and adjust accordingly

I remember reading someplace on here that the Fox shocks were not compatible with either the highlifter bracket lift, or their A arms. But you have them both?

Did you have to modify anything to install the shocks?

I have both highlifter parts as well and had written off putting fox shocks on. Maybe they can go back on my list.

Thanks!

I do have them both from HighLifter and no issues putting on the Fox shocks. I haven’t had it on a ride yet but had no issues on install and don’t see where anything could be a problem when I do ride it

Nice.
How are the bolt on clevis- shackle mounts working out on your' bumper?

Thanks

Not so well but my bumper was damaged before I installed them. I did straight pull on them not tied together and it pulled outside of bumper out and by twisting pushed inside in. Others have said they work fine so it may have been because mine was damaged already. My buddy has same ones and mounted his on inside of main bar where mine is outside and his have held up fine with no damage. Working on new brace setup now so it doesn’t happen again when I change bumper out

It worked fine on mine this past week riding HMT. I have the Highlifter lift on the way cuz I had some rear scrub at times but the ride with the Fox Shocks was so much better than the stock

New cooler in and mounted. Will add two more mounts to bed for when nobody else rides with us and cooler will go in bed with tailgate up. Also all doors have new bushings and adjusted ride height with Fox shocks.

Let me know what you think. I wish the cooler was a better red but it’s an awesome cooler especially for the price
