Just wanted to let everyone know that I have been working with a local machine shop to reproduce the Works Performance shocks trailing arm bushings that are needed to install the Fox 2.0 shocks (Part# FOX-980-02-013). In addition to that I am also having them make a bushing to reduce the upper shock mount to accept the 1/2 bolt. I have received the test set and have given them the go ahead to make more. I should have them by the end of next week, maybe sooner. I currently have 15 sets being made and 2 of those sets are already spoken for. I wanted to offer them to the guys here before they get listed elsewhere. I do not have the cost yet because I have not paid them but it should be pretty reasonable. Also, I can include the hardware at an additional cost if you would like.

NOTE: The Fox shocks are a 1/4 inch longer than the factory shocks & works shocks.

Here are other threads that may be found useful:

Sign me up for a set!

Perfect timing. Been looking for something like this, and I have $$$. I will take a set.

You got it guys! I’ll keep you updated when I have the finished product and price.

Perfect timing for me too, rear shocks are shot! Sign me up :)

I would like to take a set off your hands as well.
Thank you for the effort.

Curtis,

So we don't have to chase down hardware, you may want to offer that also with the kit. I don't have my Ody anymore to measure screw length.

Also an added tidbit..... if memory serves me right, one of the spacers from the Fox shock kit has to be used to give the upper part of the shock sufficient clearance.

Thanks,

Rand

I would like a set please.

Rand,
You will have an option to buy the kit with or without hardware. I do assume that most will want the hardware included. I will do a write up (w/pictures) of the installation of this kit with the hardware I have sourced.

Good Work!

FYI

I recently purchased my Fox 2.0 shocks from http://www.polyperformance.com and they are currently running a 10% discount on them. Cheapest price I could find anywhere.

That is a $48 savings = $432 shipped to your door.

Awesomeness. I'm interested in doing the fox shocks so I'm glad you worked out the custom hardware. I may buy the shocks even sooner. Definitely cheaper route than the Farr rear suspension, but I still want bad.

Btw, what is the correct tool to fill these shocks and what pressure would you suggest? I've been researching but no good answer.

So I picked up the bushings today. They were a little bit more expensive than I had thought but they did a great job on them and said they used high grade aluminum.

Pricing includes shipping to the lower 48 USA. I will ship anywhere but will have to get a separate shipping quote for you.

Full Kit = Aluminum bushings and Grade 8 hardware: $50

Bushings Kit = Aluminum bushings: $38

PM me if you are interested in ordering a kit.

NOTE: Shocks are NOT included

Here are some pictures of the install steps.

Note: Install on rear left hand side (drivers side)

Step 1: Remove existing shocks and hardware.

Step 2: Grind inner frame upper shock mount flat. You want the washer to sit flush with surface & in parallel with the flat surface on the other side of the mounting hole.



Step 3: Install upper aluminum bushing. Be sure hole is clear of rust and debris. If you have to tap it in, use a rubber mallet.



Step 4: Install trailing arm aluminum bushings. Same as upper but on either end of trailing arm mounting hole.

Step 5: Upper shock install.



Step 6: Lower shock install.



Step 7: Adjust rear link evenly and as needed to fix camber.



Step 8: Adjust shock pressure as needed. 250psi is a good starting point. (160lb person)

Excellent pictorial and write up!

Excellent write up and I appreciate the time and research you put in to having these developed/made for this community. I should be able to provide some feedback after this weekend on the how the Fox Shocks compare to the stockers and how the bushings hold up. How much did you have to adjust to get the chamber correct on your machine?

Thanks again!
Mike

Thanks guys! It is humbling to know that my efforts are appreciated and I am glad that I can help. These shocks are a great option for any FL350 owner and with an easy install kit they are now much more appealing.

Mike,
I adjusted the rear link about a 1/4 inch in total to make up the difference. I am looking forward to your review!

-Curtis

I've received the goods, should have them installed soon with an update once we get the cattle to grass!

Iv tried 4wheelparts/offroadwarehouse/ployperformance and everyone is on backorder and had to cancel my purchase haha great!

Anybody know of a place that has these shocks in stock? Lol

This site should have them in stock. Call first but another person just ordered from here. Apparently these shocks are now in high demand... I wonder why?

I wanted to bump this thread... I can't believe that no one on here has given this kit a review?!?! A lot of you purchased them...

Yet, a stranger on ebay did.

I will still honor the price listed here, if purchased through this site.

-Curtis

I have not yet installed. How is this for a review?
I’m in no rush to install because... with the depth of your character I know they’ll be
perfection.
With a little one, I just haven’t had the time.

I'll take what I can get at this point LOL

I realize that some may not have installed the shocks yet. I know that some have with no feedback.

I guess no news is good news...
