Default Adding a Rear Block with Fox 2.0 Rear Shocks

Hello All,

Just had a set of Fox Loaded struts and rear shocks installed on my 2012 FX4. I was wondering how much rear lift the Fox Shocks could handle. I'm either going to buy a rear block kit or do add-a-leaf. Just wondering if there has been anyone that has done this with the fox shocks. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated.

I'm sure a quick phone call to Fox directly would get you the answer you need or at least be a good jumping off point to see what their recommended stretch is on those shocks.

So you're running just the Fox 2.0 rears with a 3" block and longer u-bolts? I want to bring the back end up on my truck, it sits low in the rear with the ATV or a load of firewood in the back.

Nearly all rear shocks are 3'' block max. However, Stage3 sells the 4'' and 6'' Fox rear shocks individually that would come with the BDS lift kit.

The 6'' shock is on my list as I have 4'' lift kit w/ 3.25'' of blocks + an AAL in rear.

I bought the fox coilover and rear shock kit from stage three. So I should be good running a 3" block in the rear with the standard fox shocks?

correct. rides great with this set up, easy install and will reduce rear sag when bed is loaded.
