Yes, the run is a go. The shop already ordered the stock a week ago, and gave me a delivery time of around Dec 8th, which would put the time for me to be able to ship around Christmas. Since my work shuts down that week, I will have plenty of time to pack and ship, so that should work out well. I'll update the thread as progress is made.

 

sweeeet

 

Sweet

 

awesome. thanks for the update

 

payment sent, merry christmas to meeeee

 

Please put me on that list. Will send payment on the 6th or 7th.

 

ME00Stepside,

You should let us know: how many prepaid, how many kits are being made. I'm just kind of wondering as a statistical thing. I need to look into buying the coilovers now!

It's easier to PM him.

 

Man I can wait!! My super lift shocks are shot big time!!

 

Im not going to lie im a bit excited for this, anyone have suggestions on springs, ive decided to get the fox coilovers, just wouldnt mind some silver colored springs? i looked at ebaich or however its spelled but didnt have much luck can someone give a good link to some?

 

Any basic google search should have pulled them up - It's just a pretty basic 2.5" ID spring in the rate of your choosing.

Paid! Now to start shopping for coil overs :D

Thanks for the links!

 

So I've been trying to get my parts list going and have been doing some research and found this on page 11.

You also said that they should tune the shocks for you? Is that only if you order through Fox or is it any website? I was going to get this one but if they don't tune it I'll go to Fox

I am having trouble finding "Long Rod Ends" What exactly do they do? I can't find the exact size you posted. I found this but I'm not sure what it is.

As for spacers, these will work correct? Never knew spacers were so expensive...

Teraflex 1/2 In. Front Spacer-Pair (07-12 Wrangler JK) 1953100-2 - Free Shipping!

And I will research more on the spring rate I want. 650 - 750 lbs seems to be the most popular.

 

Any real Fox dealer worth a damn should set them up the way you need them based on your specific vehicle. Somewhere in this thread I have talked about it multiple times. Due to the high degree of customization these performance items allow for - there is really no such thing as a standard "off the shelf" Fox setup.

It's all in the valving...you can make a performance shock act entirely different depending on the valving.



I wouldn't use a generic online 'shopping cart' to purchase the actual coilovers (See above for why). You really should call and talk with a dealer directly (not a 'phone sales' employee either). I worked with Downsouth Motorsports for my Fox stuff. Sonny (The Owner) has a great reputation in the offroad & race community. He asked me all sorts of questions about how I would use everything - from exactly what it was going on, to what type of offroading environments it would see (rock,desert, mud etc), percentage onroad versus offroad etc.

Like I have said before, if they don't ask about how you will use your truck...don't buy from them, because they aren't looking out for you past the actual sale itself.



They raise the bottom of the shock body above your CV boot & axle to prevent rubbing. You really need all the room you can get down there between the CV boot and the coilover body/spring to prevent rubbing.

They are also known as "extended lower-eyelets".

Stock Fox brand coilover's come with a shorter version normally...these would take the place of them. If I remember correctly, you want one that is 3.75" to the center of the eye.



As I explained on page #32 of this same thread (The direct link is here: https://www.ranger-forums.com/suspen...2/#post2007471), I had a typo in one of my previous post from like 2010 and the part number should have actually been: 213-01-238-A (assuming you use a Fox coilover with a 5/8" shaft). I can't edit the post because even when I first noticed it last year, it was already too late and the post is 'locked'.

In this picture the long rod end (aka - extended eyelet) is installed on the bottom of my spare coilvers and the standard Fox eyelet's are shown loose:


Here is a picture from someone's truck that show's pretty clearly why you need an extended eyelet:




Nope.

There are two different sets of spacers needed. A top spacer that goes between the coil bucket and the upper bracket (top only - 1 needed for each side) and another series of 'side to side' spacers that fill up the gap between the eyelet of the coilover and the bracket (top & bottom - 4 needed for each side).

However, the kit's that ME00Stepside is selling seems to include all the spacers needed.

Top Spacer Example:



Side to Side Spacer Example:






I know it can take some time reading over every page of this thread...but all of this information is out there. Between the thread we are in and this other one: https://www.ranger-forums.com/suspen...adness-114962/ I know all of this has been discussed and explained in the past.

I know this is the case -- because I have typed a fair amount of it out over the years to try to help multiple people out! LOL

PS - If anyone is interested in a brand new (never installed) set of the real & original RCD coilover brackets - complete w/ hardware, Eibach Springs and/or Fox Coilovers for a stock height truck send me a PM. The person I had arranged to sell everything to - backed out. All items are brand new & never installed, and I don't really need them anymore since I went with the full RCD suspension lift.
