Replacement Shocks

[Bandit’s Lair]

Huh. I’ll have to take a caliper to mine and see what they are. They sure as heck don’t perform very well for a 2.5”. In my opinion.

Maybe that's the nomenclature thing. They say Fox 2.5" diameter shocks. This was from the Mopar website.

• Other Names:Suspension Kit
• Description:Jeep® Performance Parts 2" Lift Kit has been developed by Jeep® brand engineers and off-road enthusiasts and allows you to use larger tires. The kit includes 2.5" diameter aluminum body monotube FOX shock absorbers for cooler operation. The lift kit increases articulation and tire-to-ground contact and the longer front control arms optimize suspension tuning for on-road driveability while improving off-road capability.

My issue is that those damn things are expensive as heck from what I have found

I just pulled off a set of fox 2.5” shocks with 10k miles on them that I upgraded to have shraider valves. I didn’t like how soft the ride felt on the diesel but maybe others would be interested?

Maybe he meant he had the mopar 2'" lift that comes with the Fox 2.5 shocks?

I'm in the same boat. 2021 with just over 60K on the Fox shocks. I think where I get confused as they say they are fox 2.5" shocks but when you google fox 2.5 shocks for gladiator, those damn things are crazy expensive.

I'd actually like to go with the Bilstein's remote resivors that come with the new Mopar lifts but I can't seem to find the individual part numbers for those shocks.

I had 5100's on a previous vehicle and really liked them

Yes, 2" mopar lift, which really was 2.5". I added leveling spacer to front

I have a 2022 Willys, w the diesel engine. It has the Jeep/Mopar 2.5" factory lift system, w an added 1" block on the front to level. I have approx. 55k on the truck since i installed the lift, and the shocks feel like they have given up. I need replacements and need some experianced help/opinions on what to go with. Falcons hace been discussed here, but i dont know about any if them in the real world. I dont want or cant afford the units w the remote resovours. Im using a 2" shock extender on the front to help w the added leveling block.

Just put on a set of billsteins because I wanted digressive shocks for less floatiness in corners.. My wife has the fox 2.0 and they are super comfy but not firmer than stock IMO.
