Fox Shocks Frequently Asked Questions

Fox Shocks (Truck & Jeep) FAQ This is an assortment of Frequently Asked Questions that we receive around Fox shocks. These are mostly introductory and helping drivers establish a baseline of what to expect out of Fox. We dont get into the more advanced topics like spring rates, custom valving, or custom setups for race vehicles here. Do Fox shocks really make a difference? Do Fox shocks improve ride quality? One of the main differences noticed immediately when equipping Fox shocks on your vehicle is how much better the suspension will handle the every day bumps and irregularities. Potholes and...

Eibach Making Shockwaves

Eibach has always been in the shock game, but over the past few years they’ve made some serious inroads to light truck and SUV offerings. While being known as a coil spring powerhouse who supplies many of the biggest names in the industry, many dont know they also have an in-house damper (shock) design and manufacturing operation. Being able to oversee and develop a ride control product entirely in-house goes a long way in supporting each and every vehicle application that goes through the Corona, CA Eibach facility. If you’ve been used to the regular names in the industry who...

Bilstein 6112 60mm Install on a 2019 Ranger

The new 2019+ Rangers have some incredible punch! Fun to whip around, especially with that Ford Performance 50hp boost available to all the 2.4L engines out of the gate. If there’s one thing to be desired, its the suspension system in the dirt. The stock shocks just cant take any reasonable off-road obstacles at more than 20mph without bucking the truck in the front or rear. Need more damping! The Bilstein 6112 put a 2.6” shock within reach of more budgets, giving great adjustable front ride height on a beefy enough shock that can take tough off-road terrain much faster...

Old Man Emu BP-51 Toyota 4Runner Installation

The installation of the Old Man Emu BP51 front coilovers and rear shocks are pretty straight forward. One part that may be slightly different from other brands, or non-reservoir setups, are the unique reservoir mounts in the OME kit. We’ve installed all sorts of reservoir shock setups on many different Toyotas, and no two reservoir mounts are the same. The front and rear mounting kits are also unique to the BP51 shocks, since the 2.8 inch bodies require special clearance requirements in the rear of the vehicle.
