Most are running 37s, 38s and 40s. I'll keep an eye out for 35s

Any more long term review from you all that have Accutuned Fox 2.5s? On road manners harsh?

Love them.

I went Fox 2.0's, RK RRD's, and onto the Fox 2.5s from AccuTune.

If I had to do it again would go straight to AccuTune and the Fox 2.5's.

The Fox 2.5's are absolute beasts and even this weekend doing some gnarly trails with Jeeps technically more capable from a lift/tire size had no issues particularly on descents off rocks where my droop and dampening got me better use of my lower clearance.

My Jeep, no matter what speed or what terrain, never feels the suspension is under-dampened. This was not the case with the 2.0's or RRD's.

Thanks! Which springs do you have and how tall of a lift?

2.5" lift on RK springs right now.

I also have a set of AccuTune springs in the garage waiting for the winter to get swapped in to try out (thanks @Moto_21) if I like them better.

I had the RK on the Jeep

The shocks with the RK kit kept leaking (their RK branded shocks)

I bought some stuff from @Moto_21 that included shocks and springs.

I bolted the shocks on to solve the leaky RK shock issue and really happy with how the Jeep works right now

But will also try out the AccuTune springs but have not had time to swap the springs in yet because it's been a busy summer.

If I don't like them more, will swap back to the RK springs.

Just curious has anyone come up with an alternative mounting option for the res?

I used the brackets included but used rivnuts to fasten them to the frame. Works well, and easy to remove when needed.

Sounds like just ran out of things to rivnut, it’s addicting.....

I bet lots of things on those fancy inner fender liners you have could be made better with rivnuts

Yeah I hear ya I still have the astro tool I bought to do rock skins for my Jk. Also looking for an excuse to use it. In this case it does no good as I’m cutting off that bracket to mount the vks shorty bumper. I was hoping to maybe mounting it on top of the frame horizontally? I know that hose isn’t very pliable

Talk to AccuTune. I believe you can disconnect that hose and perhaps put a 45 or 90 degree fitting in to get the orientation you need.

I recall on their site a page on what you can disconnect and not.
