Yes, they are all capable of being revalved and rebuildable, but only some of them have an adjustment on the remote reservoir, I am assuming for fine tuning.

As for 0-1" lift, that is what the site lists for stock setup. You would need to know your fully extended and fully collapsed lengths before ordering shocks to do it right.

As for the ones listed at L8, those don't have remote reservoirs nor do they have compression adjustment on the reservoir.

Taken from a website...(you be the judge)
Fox Emulsion Shocks are best suited for light duty applications. It is very important to keep the shock mounted as close to vertical as you can. There is no IFP to keep the oil separated from the high pressure nitrogen, and you can run into performance problems in extreme off camber situations. For a street driven application they are more than enough, but in off road conditions that subject the shocks to excessive heat from use, a reservoired shock is recommended. A 7/8" shaft will help give more resistance to compression and act more like an air spring than the 5/8" shaft, but is heavier and more expensive.

 

ummm it's gonna depend who you ask. I would also take Terrafirma over OME. I have ran OME shock and springs and honeslty I wasnt impressed.

I'm probably one of few running Fox on the forum and I'm not a part of any staff. Plus they are cheap compared to Bilstein 7100's I wish I had so dont give me the oh it's too expensive ****. Come drive my truck on the trails and you tell me it's too expensive.

I think if you're going to pick a kit for off roading you need to decide if you're gonna do moderate or extreme and build your truck from there. Ask the people who have each kit what they think. The only reason I dont agree with Disco Mike on the Terrafirma stuff is because he hasnt had the equipment himself. And althought I have never had Terrafirma shocks cause I went with Fox I have put the stuff on 3 trucks and know a lot of other guys that run the stuff and like it. I have heard of 0 first hand failures of Terrafirma shocks.

 

None of them have an adjustments on the reservoir it's a schrader valve...............................

Please go research more about shocks before you start acting like you know what you're talking about.

O.E. means it will mount to stock mounts doesnt mean it has the same travel as stock. It doesnt list the extended or compressed numbers but I believe they are 8" travel.

And the shocks Justins sells both 2.0 emulsion or remote res are the same as off road warehouse he just doesnt sell the pin to pin on the side because they are not desireable when you just mount loop style.

I showed the "emulsion" style shock because nobody here really NEEDS resevoir shocks unless they are worried about overheating due to extreme usages.

READ HERE on different types of shocks..
Fox Shocks

 

It's just a way I worded it to sound like some of the best. I was going to put Bilstein with Fox but since we never discussed them I refrained haha. You aren't staff but I stole that from crutchfield.com and how they have three categories of best for what situation kind of thing.

 

Try reading the Fox site. They DO have an adjustment for different compression settings built into the reservoir. You might need to do a little research before you tell me to research.
Here is the link for the upgrade. But you can buy the shocks with it already installed. Hence, adjustable compression rates.

And the shock with the remove reservoir with adjustable compression settings built in...

This is the original poster's thought:

"geez all I wanted to know was if I needed a lift to fit some tires under (265/75/16) and if I did what was a good cheap lift.."

If you guys want to rant some more ill start a thread so the guy doesn't have to read through 8+ pages to get an answer.

Oh and the answer is Terrafirma. Since youre on a budget. Heavy Duty or Medium is up to you. I'd prefer HD since it makes the ride stiffer and you can as off-road stuff later without upgrading your suspension again.

 

Sorry my fault I apologize I have never seen that add on. You wont need it if you buy shocks from Justin cause they come valved depending on your rover

And FWIW I had Rancho 9 way adjustables - it's a pain in the *** to adjust all of your shocks manually every time you go off road/on road

 

Stop wasting peoples time. READ the responses then reply accordingly. Nobody gives a crap about Crutchfield.
WHAT TIRE SIZE DO YOU WANT TO FIT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO USE YOUR TRUCK FOR/BE ABLE TO DO WITH IT?

 

I just want to go to the mall with my 32's guy chill out
