Trying to decide between the Falcon and Fox shocks so I'm looking for opinions from anyone that found the best combo for a DD. Currently running Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5-18 at 28psi and Rubicon shocks and springs which I'll be listing for sale shortly. Looking for best ride possible for every day. I'll be ordering Rusty's 2'' kit when I decide on the shocks. Thank you!!!

I’m interested as well. I’m thinking about swapping the sp2 2.1s in place of my rubicon fox shocks.

Which did you end up using? I have Rancho’s monotube shocks (RS7MT) with my Mopar lift and I’m considering trying Falcon SP2 2.1s.

I have the Falcon 2.1s on my JL I really like them but they are very firm but make it handle well in corners....they ain't soft and cushy.

I have Falcon SP2 2.1s on both my JTOD and my wife’s 24 JLU Willys. My JT has 28k on the shocks, my wife has 1700 miles on them. It almost hurts to ride in my wife’s compared to mine now that everything is broken in on mine.

For those with the 2.1’s, are you running them on the soft or performance setting? I leave my 3.3’s on the soft setting and the ride is nice.

I don't think the 2.1s are adjustable. They will be stiff compared to fox shocks as they are digressive valving similar to bilstein 5100s. For a daily driver I'd recommend the fox 2.0s personally.

They are adjustable. You can turn the shaft and change between a soft or performance setting.
