I’m running the Fox Performance Elite all round on my 2020 and love them. Pricey
Pros: love them
Cons: pricey
Vehicle:
Jeep
I have FOX... I'd buy them again...
Pros: would buy again
I've taken my non-res Fox 2.0s to Hatteras and all around the East Coast beaches and never had issues with them overheating. They're fantastic shocks
Pros: fantastic shocks, no overheating
Cons: don't look cool
Vehicle:
Nissan
Ended up moving into a 2019 3500, and doing a Thuren 1.75 level with the Fox shocks and AEV 17" Saltas and 37" Falken AT4s.
After experiencing them... as a cheapskate... id pay full price, absolutely worth it
Pros: absolutely worth it
Vehicle:
Jeep Cherokee
I don't have a lot of comparison points, but I went Fox and love them. Great ride, but not at all sloppy, and really improved the handling.
Pros: great ride, improved handling
Cons: not at all sloppy
Part number: 985-24-084
I put Foxes on about 1500 miles ago, they’ve been great so far. It’s all about the driving you do - I’m 100% on road, so they work for me.
Pros: they’ve been great
Mileage: 2414 km
Fox 2.5" internal bypass shock and springs off a 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.
Adds about 1" in height. Rides a bit firmer that stock shocks on paved roads and performs great off-road.
Pros: performs great off-road
Cons: firmer on paved roads
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 5000 km
The only part to go bad was the rear shocks at 56K.
Pros: rear shocks lasted
Cons: rear shocks bad
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 90123 km
Took our new 2024 North American model Tiguan in for maintenance as there is a clear hard clunk from front suspension going over bumps. I know from experience this is the rebound setting failing and the shocks hitting the lowers hard enough to shudder the steering.
Cons: hard clunk over bumps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
