Just got my Fox 2.0 rear shocks for my truck. Every shock I have ever installed came compressed and with a band around them. These seem to be not compressed and no band around them. Everyone else got them like the pic I posted???

 

Yes, mine came the same way. Those two smaller boxes were in a box that was about 5 feet long.

 

Ok. I think someone opened these boxes at some point as the pretty fox seal on the side was open. But they seem new.

 

Go over to this thread:

There are many suggestions and tips on compressing and installing them.

 

Mine came same way nothing wrong with them put them on you will like them after a day of feeling *** end staying on the ground more control no body roll smooth but firm..

 

Yep mine came same way. Fox seal still was still intact on mine.
Truck is so much better now with them installed

 

I can't remove the top driver side nut. Appears to be knotched or stripped but looks like it was done from factory. The passenger side was done with no issues.
