Sorry if i missed this thread. Does anybody run the custom tuned fox shocks savvy offers with a 4” currie lift? And if so do you like them? Moving to a currie 4” lift on the LJ with full savvy arms. The rig is lightweight with exception of winch on front and looking for a smooth ride mostly offroad driven with highway to and from trails. Thanks guys
Btw I usually run without the back seat and soft top if that matters.
 
Yeah, I bought both sets used and they’re from Savvy originally. For “off the shelf” shocks I don’t think you can beat them. They’re firm without being too harsh and limited the body roll vs the previous ones, ranchos (I also run an Antirock... for now).

You’ll find a lot of opinions on ranchos here, but to me the change was night and day. Instead of a mushy ride it’s much more pleasant with the Fox setup. For what these Fox’s are I’d say they’re phenomenal. They could be better with a custom tune, but I’m moving my rear to 12” as soon as they ship to get those custom tuned instead.

I swapped each end out independently, so I feel like I got a good feel of the differences - for what it’s worth.
 
I ran them for a few years. Probably the best you can get at that price point.

I'd order soon though, pretty sure Fox is back ordered on most things. At least they were a few months ago when I broke one.

I had them on my TJ before Blaine did the outboard conversion with the Fox 2.0 shocks.

To be 100% honest, I didn't mind them at all. I had Rancho RS5000X shocks on my last TJ, as well as Bilstein 5100s, OME Nitrocharger Sports, and several others.

I actually think I liked these ones more than the Ranchos to be honest.

Having said that, I have a set with reasonably low miles on them that I am planning on selling for $325 plus shipping.

I haven't posted them for sale yet, but if you're interested, PM me.

Like I said, I'm only getting rid of them because they won't fit anymore now that I have outboard towers.

I run them front and rear, absolutely love them and cant wait to outboard in the future and try the reservoirs. Ive never ran the rancho rs5000x, so I cant compare them, but all say is its worth it for the money

I had them on my TJ for awhile before I sold it, they were worth it in my opinion.

like everyone else has mentioned for a stock configuration, off the shelf shock these would be on the top of my list.

Now im running FOX 2.0 reservoirs front and rear on the LJ. They were decent with the out of the box valving. After having them re-built and re-valved the performance is fantastic.

Y, he sold them. I know because I missed buying them by like 1 minute.

It’s been almost 2 months ago.

I ordered some shortly after and received them today.

I forgot all about them. It was your post on you getting them today that sparked my memory lol. Thanks for the update.
