Default Fox shocks

Anybody use these shocks? Looking at using them with a 2.5 RK lift. Any input on ride quality would be much appreciated.

Not sure myself. Was hoping with the adjustable shock, it wouldn't be too stiff on the road.

Thanks guys. My hope is the adjustable shocks will soften up enough for on road driving. It will be hard to talk the girlfriend into road trips if the jeep rides like a buck board. I'm pretty much set on the RK 2.5" X Factor system for a lift. My choices for shocks are the adjustable Foxes, or the RK RRD remote reservoir shocks.

I have a build going on right now that is using Fox shocks with reservoirs. 2" because the rig will be lighter (using Al parts). Heavier rig, then 2.5". Fox makes good product, no question.
