I'm running ranchos up front and remote resi's in the rear. The resi's are a touch stiff, I'd like to get them retuned. Having said that, they still absorb bumps incredibly well
Do you know what the PSI is of the rocksport vs. the Bilstein? I'm assuming you're talking about the 5100 series Bilstein?.?I have Metal cloaks’s “rocksport” shocks about $280 front and rear only because it was on the mechanics shelf ready to go. I can’t really say it’s my favorite shock as I only had bilstein and MC but the ride is way smoother than bilstein Shocks that’s Forsure. I’m satisfied so far.
Which Ranchos?I'm running ranchos up front and remote resi's in the rear. The resi's are a touch stiff, I'd like to get them retuned. Having said that, they still absorb bumps incredibly well
You do understand what an emulsion shock is, right?What are you talking about. Chris said the ifp and the 2.0 without reservoir were different shocks. They aren't. The 2.0 without reservoir is an ifp shock.
In the list above I was only including the performance series (without noting mind you) as IMO that is the most used of the Fox shock among the TJ world. With and without reservoir.
Lastly...I disagree with you on the ifp being on all performance series 2.0
Any shock with a remote resi has an IFP. That's what divides the oil and nitrogen. I already have said that. Just trust me that they do.Love the condescension....
Cheers.
P.s.
You insist the performance 2.0 with reservoir is an IFP shock.
I'm not too proud if I'm mistaken on that so by all means post the information up.
Not a shock expert but interested in the conversation regarding Fox Shocks and the internal floating piston (IFP). On a reservoir shock, isn't the divider between the nitrogen and oil in the reservoir?
That is absolutely true. Fox labels it as such on the exploded drawing of their 2.0 remote reservoir shock. Thinking outside the box, the only time there wouldn't be something similar to an IFP in a gas and oil shock would be if the gas is contained in a bladder.Yes but it is still an IFP
Yes, as stated by a couple of folks. If you don't separate the compressed gas charge from the shock oil, then it is an emulsion shock. Emulsion is sort of a misnomer since the typical definition means the mixing of two liquids that really don't want to be mixed like an oil and vinegar salad dressing. You can shake it up and it will mix short term but will eventually settle back out into the two separate liquids. The same thing happens in an emulsion shock. The oil gets gas entrainment which changes oil viscosity and the properties of the oil which then changes the shock response.Not a shock expert but interested in the conversation regarding Fox Shocks and the internal floating piston (IFP).

I do not I tried to find it on their website but no luck. I think I did have the 5100 series or was I the 5150? Do they make 5150? I can’t recall. Anyways it was a night and day difference between the two. Way softer ride.Do you know what the PSI is of the rocksport vs. the Bilstein? I'm assuming you're talking about the 5100 series Bilstein?.?
