FOX 2.0 Coil Overs versus FOX 2.5 Coil Overs

[chrishallett83]

Im off work thiswee and all my FOX info is there. I need to go get it. Sorry for the delay on pricing.

Lets see what else has been holding me up...

Sewer backed up,
Wife had me tear down a wall in the house
Wife decided to remodel the basment

WTF dude!

I think I've figured out your biggest problem Doug!

Next time your missus wants some remodeling done to the house, tell her you'll do it for her after she lets you have a three way with her and that cute 21 year old from down the street...

Either she won't ask again, or she will but you won't mind...

There is a cute 21 year old down the street??

Hey excuse my ignorance, but is there much of a difference between the 2.0 coil overs and the shocks that have the reservoirs like the ones you have?

[Odyknuck]

Not sure what your question is however both the emulsion and the coilover are avalable with the remote resivoir.  The difference between the shock styles is the coil over uses a threaded body to mount the coil springs.  The emulsion smooth body requires some sort of spring to hold the buggy up like aTorsio bar setup or similar.

[Doug Heim]

Oil and air mix in the emulsion and you cant run them upside down although I dont know why you would want to.

Res. shocks, the oil and air do not mix

[Reidy02]

Yeah I shoulda explained myself better, what I should of said is there a benefit to having the shocks with the reservoirs? Or are they better then the ones without?  I'll get there.. Cause I got the ones without the reservoirs and I think they look better with.

[Doug Heim]

when the oil and air gets mixed  violently the air bubbles trap in the oil due to the fast motiong and cant escape fast enough and the shock does not dampen as well as it can with the reserivoir. The air passes through the valve within the oil.

 yes dunebound 69 has coil assist 2.0 air shocks as do I in the rear of my rail. his motor is lighter than my v-6, he has aluminum heads. I run 350/450 and the secondary is to heavy but livable. if I had it to do over I think I would've liked the 2.5 air shock ( not coil assist ) better in the rear not to mention the weight loss as well as the price drop. the coils for a 16" stroke shock ( that I have ) were $75 a piece so another $300 in the two shocks. for slower speed woods riding you would be just fine with the 2.5 air shocks. I know 4 people with v-8 rock crawlers, that run the 2.5 air shocks on all 4 corners of their rock crawlers on 4 link suspension systems with out problems, given they are crawling but you get what I'm saying. my rail is on the left in the pic.
