Swapping dealer installed Fox2.0 for Falcon shocks

[BruteForce]

Our dealership installed a 2" Mopar lift + Fox 2.0 shocks before we took ownership. These Fox 2.0 shocks are total crap and a bounce house of horrors, but especially offroad. We're going with some Falcon SP2 or 3.3 shocks as suggested by Teraflex (a company just 3 miles north of me). Feedback?

Sounds awesome! Can I have your old Fox 2.0 stuff? Most people seem to prefer the SP2 dampening over the standard dampening. If you can afford the 3.3, I would say that is the way to go. Teraflex has several options now for our trucks.

They are both branded as 2.0, but they are apparently quite different internally. I inquired about this directly with Fox. The factory Fox 2.0 are damped per factory specs, not Fox specs. Here is part of their response to my question:
"They are starkly different in design, subtly different in nature, I am sure someone on the forum can give you more direct feedback than I can, never having ridden in the JT. Without getting too far in depth, expect the ride to be comfortable, but more active and controlled feeling."

Yes, as I understand it, standard Rubi shocks. Total shit show on pavement or dirt. Its like riding in a bounce house.

I'm now 12,000miles in and thought the side to side and bouncy nature was supposed to be a good ride. I was so wrong..Damned near put my head through the roll bars and windshield on just dirt roads here in Utah..

I have a set, I guess time will tell once I'm able to devote the time to put them on.
