Anyone running the Fox 3.0’s?

[CrazyCooter]

I'm not up on the specs of the shocks discussed here, but would some simple metal sleeves work like what people have used to swap in Mojave shocks?

No, the problem when you try to swap non Mojave shocks into a Mojave is exactly opposite. The shock bushing needs to have a larger ID to accept the 14mm bolt vs say a Rubi's 12mm.

Unfortunately, It is not available to order. I have emailed, my shop has asked their contact their, and Accutune has asked them. If you find it, I will buy it.
I am going to try to piece some things together and see where it gets me.

Well FTF Fox! Dang, I figured if they had part #'s then you could get it ordered.

Here's a company I used for my misalignment spacers on my Raptor shocks: https://www.kartek.com/

these guys are great, and very helpful. Here's the page on mounting hardware, but I don't see the bushing unfortunately: https://www.kartek.com/parts-categories/fox-mounting-hardware.html

BIG NEWS!
Fox emailed back today and gave me part numbers for everything. Not sure why they could not have given my mechanic this data months ago, but I am glad to have it now.

I had to contact a different department to order them. They did not have one part in stock, so I had to order it from Beefcake racing. The parts are now on their way and hopefully everything will work and the 2.5 Elite front shocks can stock collecting dust in the garage. I will keep you all updated.

Something to point out here also is that Fox will sell parts retail direct........It wasn't a super smooth process, but has gotten much better over the past year for sure. Could possibly speed up the process a bit?

I ordered all but one part from Fox. I am hoping that Beefcake actually has them in stock and is not having them drop shipped from Fox.

@piroman683 which misalignment spacers did you get for the raptor bypasses in the back?

 

[piroman683]

I used this spacer, but had to shave down the outside spacer by about . 060 to fit. You do not want to shave/grind out the inner spacer because you will risk interference with the tubes

Thanks!

Thanks!

If you end up getting them you'll need to grind a little of the driver side shock mount to clear the hose for the cooling line. Also make sure you don't install the coolers too far back or forward as it can strain at full droop or cause the shocks to rotate inboard a little. I mounted the coolers with regular bolts and washers, then switched to nutserts later.

Did this work out? If so, what were the part numbers Fox provided? Trying to help out @dayusmc with an install.

Thanks!

No, Beefcake did not have them, and they are still unavailable from Fox. My Jeep should be going to the shop this month to have the work performed, the mechanic said he can machine a sleeve since I have the right rubber bushings. Between work, buying a new house, surgery, and the holidays, I have not had time to deal with it.

Roger that, understood. Thanks for the reply!

I decided to go with the @piroman683 setup with the 3.0 IBPs in the front and the 3.0 Raptor bypasses in the rear. The fronts were installed today. We had to get creative on how to mount the reservoirs. I have a Motobilt Tomahawk chop front bumper, and with the frame cut back you can’t put them in the usual spot.
