Windrock will the fox shocks work with stock wheels and tires with a HL lift .I have the arched arms on rear installed a arms backordered for front. Plan on ordering shocks tomorrow. Just want to know what to plan on having to do. Also will they work with lift off. Thanks in advance for your help.

The shocks will work with the lift off. My problem is my wheel setup. 5+2 offset. 10" wide tires on 7" rims. The HL lift is causing me all kinds of problems with the shock clearance. I think the front clearance is going to get worse when addition of the Superatv front arched arms (when they come in) because everything moves forward but the shock. I am going to swap to factory tires and wheels in the morning. I will keep everyone posted.

@harrelljr99 can you do a similar test with your set up similar to @Windrock1000 fully compressing front shocks to see if contact is made between shock and tire?o_O I do understand that you have larger tires and HL Front A Arms & HL Front 2.5 lift & 30 tires not sure on your rim offset

Looks like your rims are 3.5 x 3.5, so a 0 offset! That explains why you were able to mount your rear shock with the reservoir out! It looks like in the picture he has his shocks set to the softest setting and parked at a downward angle with front tire compressing the shock because of the hill! @Windrock1000 ?

Does anyone know the stock clearance in the front and rear. Pulled the High Lifter and put factory tires back on. Need to set the preload on the Fox Shocks.

I think the factory specs claim 12" ground clearance, they don't specify for front or rear or if they are different?

With factory setup and new rear arms the sag is 4.75"

How much of that do you think could comfortably become lift with spring load?
