Default Fox Shocks

Is anyone running the Fox 2.0s listed on Lucky8s website as being sold as a set of 4? My suspension needs a refresh and I've read mixed reviews of Terrafirma products. I'm wondering if the Fox are worth the extra $100 than the Terrafirma +3" adjustables?

Fox shocks are only 24.75" long: https://www.ridefox.com/subhome.php?...2&position=ALL

Or is there another part number? I read somewhere on here there is a 28" fox shock for d2. 26-28 would be ideal

is the 26-28" length referring to stock vehicles? I was looking into the 12" travel Fox 2.0s which have a total length of 31.75" and compressed 19.65". My D2 is on a 3" OME lift albeit a little old and tired and I just order 1" spring spacers and the +3" adjustable Terrafirmas but I'm having a bit of buyers remorse and might sent the terrafirmas back if the 12" Fox (which should be +4" from stock) will work

No... the terrafirma +3" adjustable shocks are 26" long. 31.75 is too long, you'll have no down travel. Go measure eye-to-eye on the shock mounts and you'll see

I'm currently on the terrafirmas. They seem okay, but then again I've never been on Fox's before. I'm considering it.. maybe remote resi too...

Thanks Jeff. I guess I'll leave well enough alone since the terrafirmas arrive tomorrow...once I wear these out I'll go with the remote resi fox's, that's what I'd really like to do now but I'm in the middle of gutting my home and renovating so funds are a little tighter than normal.

So I lied, returning the Terrafirmas as soon as they arrive tomorrow to get the Fox....no idea what I was thinking, should have done them the first time around.
