And that’s on a two door.. same spring as mine on a 4dr with even more weight. Not to mention not even bothering to address the fact that (generally) anybody spending $5k+ on Offroad suspension also has a winch, bumpers, roof rack, light bars, etc.. all kinds of weight. Just felt like poor planning and a half baked approach to roll out 1 solution for 25 different problems
Yes esp with how long they took to bring them to market. If I remember correctly they kept delaying the release of them.

Correct.. the whole thing was a race to see who could get what first and being first was a HUGE advantage. That’s where companies like King, Radflo and Icon went right (Albeit not without issues). But if you’re not going to be first you had better be best and justify the wait.. When I received my Fox’s (again, didn’t pay for them) I had planned on them being the most refined stuff I’d ever mount to a vehicle with a year’s worth of extra R&D over the competition, etc. and they just weren’t. It’s almost like they said forget it, just roll out what we have

Have you done the track bar relo yet? Mine should be here tomorrow. Some feedback that I got is that it helps with handling.

I’d forgotten about that but yeah I’d already done it along with a Metalcloak adjustable bar when I lifted it previously with my Radflo’s. I can’t say for certain what kind of actual difference that would make specific to the Fox’s but I’m sure it helps

When I had my wrangler that thing had nasty body roll. I ended up putting in a Hellwig swaybar, and it took a lot of it out surprisingly. It did affect articulation, but you could just unbolt the sway bar when you’re wheeling.

Yeah there really won’t ever exist the perfect solution that’s best at everything.. life will always be about a compromise. Luckily as the platform matures year over year betters options always emerge. I’ve not played with different track bars but might throw something like that into the mix since I have a baseline setup to go back to that works
