I'm going to be tackling an rear outboard and a rear stretch. I've been collecting parts one of the last items will be shocks. I've read most of the outboard threads and only one had a link to actual purchase the Fox 2.0 12" travel external reservoir shocks from Full Stack:

These are custom tuned and currently out of stock. I've also gone onto Poly Performance's site since I bought the shock towers from them and it seems they have a couple options:

5/8" shaft with 30/90 tuning

7/8" shaft with 50/70 tuning

Any recommendations from what others have done would be great. Thanks in advance.
 
Well I and many others run the 5/8 shaft, I wasn’t sure about the 5/8-7/8 either.

Whatever you decide on order sooner than later I ordered shocks last year and they came in 6 months later. I bet it’s worse now.

Not sure what valving to go with but kmas0n has his shim stack posted on here and it’s kinda close to a 35/70 but he also has a bleed shim in there. It’s hard to find people talking about valving unfortunately.

Here’s his thread https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/a-discussion-about-shocks.28493/
