2020 rubicon fox shocks 2.0 help

[Bandit59]

I ordered 2 new ones. Hopefully I get them by wednesday to take em in with the jeep. Its going in for new tires and my auto start stop isn't working. I know I should actually be happy about that but I just want to make sure there isn't anything larger going on. I figure it's a old aux battery, but who knows. Thanks for help last night.

I know it’s off subject but really expensive place to get tires at the dealership

that's what I did. I got 4 new ones. All good to go!

I appreciate this from as always for the help! It is great forums like this still are active to help put us Jeepers!

You actually would probably want the 2-3”, I remember seeing a shock matrix indicating 0” of lift would be a sport JL, Rubicon is about 2” higher from the factory. You will be sacrificing the full travel of your suspension if the shock is already almost in its full travel length sitting on a flat surface. It will “bottom out” or “top out” whatever you want to call it early.

I actually called 2 other places in my area and they were same price. My last 2 sets I actually got at the dealer too.

They start with Rubicon height. 0” is Rubicon height. I’ve not seen one company in almost 6 years with the JL that advertised any other way so far. Not saying they aren’t out there but I’ve been around the block a few times.

My dealer was $50 higher per tire on my truck. If figure they use a local tire wholesaler Just added the 50 for there trouble. Hard to beat Discount tire in my area on prices

I called kost and jack williams in my area. Same price after alignment.

Yup I confirmed you are right with the shock matrix chart, very useful I will leave a link.

Ok so all is well. Maybe this thread will help others down the road.
So if I understand right.
The rubicon is actually 0 inch height as reference so say I added a puck lift even for example that is 1 inches. Then I would be a 1.0 lift and still in range but if I added a 2 inch lift to the rubicon I would then need 2-3 inches lift shocks vs the 0-1.5.
Just as an example for others and my understanding. but I’m just stock rubicon so 0.

FYI, I replaced the stock Rubi shocks with the fox 0-2.0 ifp shocks. The main thing I read was this:

“Fox's 2.0 IFP shocks have recommendations for servicing by 50,000 miles for street-only use. If you beat on the 2.0s every weekend, then you should evaluate the shock's health every 10k miles (shafts, seepage or leakage)”.

These shocks can be rebuilt for less than replacement, not probably an option if it’s your only vehicle but just a fact about fox shocks.

thanks for that info. . . truck is in the shop getting new shoes and shocks came in yesterday. they are doing a load test on my aux battery cause of my auto start stop issue. I'm assuming dead aux battery. it's exactly 2 years old so still under warranty. they tried to bypass that. . . lol
