Default Dual reservoir shock mount location

Hey guys,

I picked up some fox dual reservoir shocks last week to replace my RC shocks and man they are amazing!

However I noticed that when testing my flex, it's possible for my front tires to rub on the second reservoir. My first guess was to mount it to the frame but it looks like it'll be even worse there.

Any recommendations on where to mount it?

Move the reservoir to the inside maybe? Away from the tires.

You can order part #4909100 from teraflex. You get two brackets to mount the remote reservoirs on the frame out of the way. They run about 20 bucks and the brackets put the reservoirs almost on top of the frame. Thats what I did, they work great.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll have to crawl around and see if I can do something myself otherwise I'm off to Teraflex for the bracket.

Sorry... Nothing to contribute but do have a question . Do you feel any benefit on road? Or is the benefit strictly felt offroad?

Thanks.

I'd like to know this too. I am considering the same shocks, but wondered if they made any difference for everyday driving.

I replaced my RC 2.5 lift with a teraflex 2.5 and these fox shocks and I can tell you, the difference on the road is night and day. My ride was terrible before and it is SO much better now.

The quality of these shocks is amazing and you can tell you're getting what you pay for.

We're doing Moab run next weekend so that will be the deciding factor for sure (400ish miles on road and who knows how many off).

But so far I would recommend these bad boys!

Are you using stock coils with spacers or did the TF kit come with new coils?
