Which Springs? Merry Christmas to me I got Fox Shocks
Hello everyone,
Finally Ponied up and got 4 Fox 2.0 Performance series shocks. I have a Terrafirma 2" lift that has been on for about 5-6 years. Feels as it always has, but showing some rust on the shocks and springs. I have not been impressed by the harshness of the ride. I have a steel winch bumper and a 10,000lbs Smittybilt winch on the front, Easily 175-200 pounds. Previously had Old Man Emu lift.
Any suggestions on new 2" lift springs would be appreciated. I guess my options would be OME, Bilstien, Britpart.

For springs and what you have installed I'd personally go with MD springs. I had HD TF front and OME rear springs on my D2 with winch, front & rear steel bumpers, side rock sliders and steering and fuel tank skid plates and the harsh ride rattled my teeth due to the stiffness of the springs. Very uncomfortable as a daily driver.
I installed MD TF springs now and it's a way better ride. The only thing I regret not doing is spraying a thick clear coat on the TF springs.

I'm getting the HD 2+ RTE springs(front only) for $250. RTE recommends tuning the Fox shocks to a medium rate. When RTE sells Bilstien shocks with overflow reservoirs they are all tuned to medium duty to match their springs. Those Bilstien shocks run $950 for all 4. After speaking with RTE they really know their suspension. I will be saving up for their castor corrected arms.

nice! I ordered a replacement set of those shocks back in September... I’m still waiting for them..
I’ve spoke with fox in length about the valving & I’m being told they are not just tuneable without being re-valved. I use them and I like them alot
The castor correction is very nice from rte
