Fox roost shields

[PhotogEric]

Has anyone tried out these shock guards from fox? If so, are they worth the $30?

Easier, cheaper, and better to just to fully boot it.

Only fit a 2.0... :ybrick:

I installed I like. Fits perfect and for $30 can’t go wrong

Heavy duty rubber sheeting, duct clamp, make the sheet as long as the shock shaft is at full droop.

It's what's done on trophy trucks and pre-runners to prevent pitting. Cheap and easy.

I have them. After a day messing around off pavement they shift around the shaft even with the screws tightened down. Still better than nothing.

Care to explain a setup? I'm curious.

Basically what is posted just above. Usually about $10 for a pair. All different sizes and lengths available for cheap. I usually leave the bottom loose and just make sure it is long enough to cover the shaft. This way no water can get trapped when you do crossings... Works perfect and protects the shaft from pitting.

Nice thank you. Do you clamp it at the top or simply purchase ones that are direct fit?

Get one close to the shock diameter then I use two zip ties to clamp it on. Even if the zip tie broke for some reason.. No big deal as it stays in place naturally. About as easy and cheap as it gets.

Slightly related.. may want to consider a set of shock shin guards also. I've never ran any.. but my bolts and washers are all screwed up from hits. It's pretty rare contact point overall. but does happen. These look fantastic for the job.

The only downside is if you find yourself in a lot of water they need to be drained as part of your maintenance.

I cut the tie, rinse the inside, then use spray silicone.

As mentioned above.. just leave the bottom loose. No need to clamp it on there if you have long enough ones. I get ones that are longer than needed.

Fair point... just speaking from experience.

They dont drain well.
