I'm running the IBP in the front for a multitude of reasons. the 3.0 has the same piston diameter as a 2.5DSC or 2.5 coilover - but it is valved much stiffer so outside the bypass zones it performs much better. Coilover requires a lot more money and fab on the vehicle which I am trying to avoid...

Quick update on my 3.0 project. I installed custom front and rear springs (160lbs front, 145 rear). I also installed the 3.0 IPBs in the front and 3.0external 3 tube bypass in the rear with cooling circuit. Spent a half day testing and tuning in Barstow and this thing flys. Currently rear...

The fox 2.5s I was running in the front had 11in of travel and I used 100% of the travel with the Clayton front 2.5in single rate springs. (188 lbs/in, 19.375 free length)

I had no idea Fox bought them back in 2014: https://investor.ridefox.com/press-releases/news-details/2014/Fox-Factory-Holding-Corp-Closes-Sport-Truck-USA-Asset-Purchase/default.aspx Pretty interesting

Dang man, I mentioned I was confused about your comment earlier that Sport Truck USA owned Fox, which is backwards from what you just posted. I now understand that fox owns Sport truck while digging around while you were posting your latest comment. No need to get so fired up, this was something...

Also Sport Truck USA page on who they own: https://blog.sporttruckusainc.com/about-sport-truck-usa/ Fox is not listed, it's just an image of a truck with Fox name. Accuracy is important,

There are no aftermarket springs at that lift height that will enable you to utilize the total shock travel. I've pulled my hair out over this which let me to custom springs. The spring with most travel for available aftermarket are Synergy 3in springs. They allow for enough compression to...

I'm very confused, how is Fox, which is its own company part of another umbrella company?

Fox and King are nearly identical (for aftermarket). Fox has an additional seal in their shaft bearing housing, and uses a slightly strong steel for their shafts. I've had no issues with my 2.5DSC's, pulled them apart to revalve and was able to get more top end speed in the desert. Falcon are...

Heads up, Fox is not owned by Sport Truck USA, they are owned by Fox Factory Holding Corp.

The shocks are on an angle so there's a positive ratio of the shocks relative to actual wheel travel. For example the shock might travel only 1 inch, but the actual wheel travel could be something like 1.5in for every inch of shock piston travel. This is tricky to properly calculate because the...

The longest rear fox shocks you can get has a piston travel length of 13in. This translates to a wheel travel of about 18.5+ Right now with the spring I have the max travel I can actually use is 18in since the springs are compressed in a linear way. It is possible to make them a little longer...

I've been working with a spring supplier specifically for rear springs because all the aftermarket springs end up being too soft for going fast in the desert because of the multi rate approach they take. Because the average softer they do well for flexing and crawling, but multi rates also run...

I only run a Dometic 35l fridge/freezer when camping so my energy needs a very low. I was unhappy with battery options since none fit under the rear seat so I made my own Lithium battery. I purcahsed the battery cells off Aliexpress, and the BMS though another site. total cost for 135Ah was...

nah, i believe it has to do with the DEF system and all the emission control items that are in that general area. If you look at the underside of a diesel vs gas you'll see a ton of extra stuff for the diesel.

I also found a way to run 3.0 bypass shocks on the rear.... more to come of that later!

Some of the big challenges was getting a spring that compresses enough to actually utalize the whole shock travel. I also cut my exhaust forward of the rear axle as it was getting smashed with the amount of uptravel I have over stock.

i installed the rock krawler pro-x upgrade kit and have Clayton off road lowers. This eliminates the track bar and allows for full range of wheel travel. The pinion only moves about 1-2 deg during cycling. This is definitely a must for more wheel travel.
