Looks good. A fine Nevada trail too.
I see the Fox shocks. Can you describe the lift? How much did you lift front and back? Thanks.

Nice photos... I have Fox on order if they will ever get to me, purchased them in August and still waiting.
How do you like them so far? Where did you get your lift from?

It's 3" front and rear. FOX 2.5 DSC front CO's (2-3" version) and 2.0 IFP rear shocks with OME 2889 3" springs.
Yea that was frustrating for me too. I ordered them at the end of June and didn't get them until the end of August. I got them from 4WheelParts, since they were the same price as other sites and I found a 5% off coupon for 4WP. I got them to give me a $50 gift card since they made no mention of an 8 week build time. If their site had simply said "coilovers are made to order and may take up to 8 weeks for delivery" that would have been fine, but they way their website is setup it would make you think they're on the shelf waiting to be shipped, which was quite frustrating.
So far with high-speed set on 5 and low-speed set on 3 they seem kind of stiff, but that's too be expected since they aren't broken in yet. The up-travel of the CO's is quite stiff and the front of the vehicle barely moves when you stand on the sliders, but all that is good for on-road performance. They also seemed to really come to life while cruising down some dirt roads at speed. Pick a line through the rocky parts and it floats right through, granted the tires make a big difference here too.

Thanks for the feed back, yes stiff is to be expected but I was hoping they fully adjustable fox's would ride a tiny bit nicer on road.

Now that they're getting broken in the ride is starting to feel great. It feels a lot sportier in general meaning that it's pretty firm and stays flat cornering, but it definitely feels more plush when absorbing bumps. You still feel them, but it takes the edge off and the rebound feels more precise. By that I mean after absorbing a bump, the rebound feels much more controlled and stable instead of that feeling of the suspension wallowing around. I haven't played with the high-speed compression yet, but there's very limited body roll as is (especially with KDSS) so I'll probably lower it a click or two and see if it makes things smoother. (There are 10 clicks for both High/low speed, and right now it's at 5).

I'm carious to know what everyone finds best comfort in the dials for FOX, maybe i'll start a separate thread.

285/70r17, which is an OD of 32.7" for this particular tire. It's rubbing pretty bad right now, but I made the mistake of forgetting to tell the alignment guy to max the caster to 4* then go from there. Right now caster is at 3.0* and 3.3*, so I don't know if moving it forward 1* would eliminate the rubbing at the rear of the wheel well. I think I'm going to just trim the fender liner and leave it at that, since I would have to pay the alignment place again at this point.

FYI, shocks do not ''break in.'' Since they are gas filled and under high pressure, they either work 100% time or they do not. No break in period with shocks. It's more than likely the physical (perhaps mental) aspect of growing accustomed to the ride.
