Does anyone have any experience with FOX suspension on a truck? I have always loved their stuff on UTV's and mountain bikes, but wonder how they act on road.

I had a 2011 FJ Cruiser, I bought it new and I installed a few serious mods, I had 2" fox shocks w/remote reservoirs on it. I beat the living piss out of that FJ, jumped it almost daily, the front wheel actually fell off at 15k miles because the inner tie rod stripped and came out of the rack and pinion. That was fun dealing with the dealership up here in Alaska. Anyway, I loved that suspension, it was so well engineered. I also had 1.5 rear piggybacks.

I just bought a new Diesel Z71 for the wife, I really feel like an off-road package should be off-road capable, I don't think this rock hard suspension it came with is even close. It is okay on road but you feel every bump, it should soak that stuff up.

What lift did you go with? Truck looks awesome!

What is your setup?? That is pretty close to what I'm looking for!

Roughly paragraphs 6-7 here: 2.8D off pavement tech report

In short, Fox 2.5/remote out-of-the-box (at 1-3/4" front lift and +1" blocks on the rear) rode even more rigid than stock Z71. Overdamped rebound made a pretty awful ride, especially on highway expansion joints. A 1-hr highway drive rattled the air filter caps off my ARB dual stage compressor which was mounted under the bed. BUT... after having Accutune Offroad retune the shocks (including an even higher flow piston than Fox used off the shelf), it now rides great and IMHO should be the standard ride for all these Colorados. They said most of tuning is done on the fronts, to match what happens on the rears (but they probably fiddle with the stacks on the rear shocks too). I'm grateful to have somewhat blindly chosen Fox based on reputation, and then learned from Accutune that they're easy shocks to re-tune, so a good choice.
YMMV

Darn shame those Multimatic things are unobtanium for the foreseeable future.
