I’ve had the 2.0 now have the revalved 2.5RR. For street use and mild to medium’ish off-road the 2.0s coil overs will do you fine. They are way better than stock. You start pushing them hard and they will fade a bit, but that’s true on any shock.

To adjust you will need to remove them and use a spring compressor. No. Not the one rented from Auto Zone and the likes. You’ll need either a shop press or the SPC style. I have the latter and it works great.

In the rear I have 2.0 Accutune Fox RR. If off the shelf Fox are 100% better than stock then the Accutune version is at least 150% better.

My shop was unable to have the camber/castor set correctly and they'll take a look in a few weeks as things settle in. They also state I probably will need to replace the lower control arms because of the additional length of the shocks. (2014 trail edition with KDSS, fox 2.0 in front and and back without reservoir). Has anyone had premature wear with their axles on this setup with everything else remaining stock?

Not sure what happened to Jetboy, but I will add this here:

Hole in the Rock is a dirt road with washboard and some washouts, but is not indicative enough.

I will be replacing my 2.0 Icon without reservoirs with either 2.0 Fox or 2.5 Fox with reservoirs and adjusters.

The problem with non-resi performance 2.0 is not that they cannot perform very well on the 4R but that mildly rough desert surface, such as any AZ easy trail or something like the Croton road or the middle section of Smokey mountains heats up the shocks to 250F (finally measured that on a dirt road with embedded rock and loose rock in AZ).

Control remained great on a well-paced 60 mile loop with temperatures normally under 200F for the Icon 2.0 (but only 100-110 normally and 130 max for the 6112 front). I had not previously measured temps.

In short, if you have no rear pax, you can get away with a non-resi 2.0. I have done an AZ desert 100 mile run (far rougher than Hole in the Rock) at a nice pace without the kids and had no issues.

But if you do have rear pax, you will want reservoirs and preferably adjusters. The 2.0 just don't have enough volume for the needed oil and gas, heat up too much, presumably pressures go up too much, and the rear pax get beaten up as the effect is that of stiffer springs.

And I don't think my Icon 2.0 will last much longer (13,000 miles now). They are now easy to push by hand. So longevity is another reason to go for the reservoir.

On the other hand, they have been fantastic in rock crawling as is. So much depends on your terrain and on how often you use them.

My post assumes frequent and serious use (meaning long stretches at good pace). Otherwise, no resi needed. Low price: use and get new, repeat.

find a new shop. they're potatoes.

[QUOTE=The_Green_Wang;3153303]I think they are a great shock! They are set at 2inches of lift but can be adjusted higher, called Fox to confirm and its (had mine at 2.5in of lift). They are great shocks and honestly great all around shock. They perform well off road at the same time they feel great on road. If you dont plan on doing I guess "extreme" off road aka long endurance runs then these are great. I have since moved to icon 2.5 due to upcoming full bumper and other stuff but I'll tell you, the fox are much smoother on road. I have done decent off road runs and they do great, they absorb all the bumps and keeps the body firm. On road they stop the forward rake, keep the body pretty firm on turns, and they run almost as smooth as a stock shock assuming you like the ride quality versus super stiff etc. They are great shocks and will treat ya well!

What tire size are you running ? I have the same suspension setup and 285/70/17
