Clayton recommended fox 2.0s for my set up, but I over thought it and went with falcon 3.3s. I found the falcons way too stiff even on the softest setting and just installed a set of fox 2.0s. I'm much happier with them, that's the ride I was looking for.
I got the ones linked above, they actually worked out great and weren't that hard to trim down a bit.
@Eischman I only needed about that much of an extension too but didn't want to use things like chair leg protectors and pipe insulation.
Razor knife did the trick to cut them. I nipped a...
ok.. so wife test means the most...
i've been playing with various stabilizers (steersmarts, falcon 2.2 and the roadmaster)
a few weeks ago i replace my steersmarts stabilizer the roadmaster and my wife was "ok" with it, i expected a bit more, but its her daily driver so it's her call she said...
they didn't for me..
i had them on softest always and they were still too stiff
i overthought and overspent. as of yesterday i'm on the Fox 2.0s with my heavy jeep and they feel great. i was originally concerned that the Foxs would feel mushy, but it doesn't seem like they will be at all...
you do need to cut the liner for the reservoir on the front, i just patched mine with gorilla tape since i removed my falcons.
i think i've got the directions still that have a template of where you need to cut if you'd like to see it, pm me..
fyi.. falcons are very stiff.
I have a bartac cover on my winch and I think it makes it more problematic to just throw it into freespool to steal the hook. If your taking the cover off to do this then it's more than the opportunistic grab.
I couldn't get the fox stabilizer with the reservoir to fit with the steersmarts kit before I lifted my JL. There just wasn't room without it making contact somewhere no matter how I rotated it. I ended up giving up on it and using the steersmarts stabilizer which felt ok.
Op.. I haven't seen a picture of what you're considering heavy squat or how much weight you're actually carrying. I've got a pretty heavy rig and went with a Clayton 2.5 overland plus kit and my fatass jeep sits and rides great with it.
And for what it's worth... I thought I may have wanted the...
I installed mine this weekend. I'm on the fence about it..
I like the return to center feel, but with the little bit of lash in my steering box there's still that play. Maybe I expected it to correct that where it doesn't. I'll ride it for a bit more, get use to the way it feels then throw my...
