Fox 2.0 Reservoir vs. Bilstein 5160 Reservoir (2"-3" lift)

[superdude]

Can anybody make a recommendation one way or the other?

Fox …….forum logic reason for recommendation

1- because I said so
2- because that’s what I run
3- because since I run it, everyone should
4- because if you’re not doing what I do,
then you’re not doing it right…….

Definitely Fox on my next shock mod.
…. and because @Roky said so!

Depends of who’s opinion you value more. Fox shocks are endorsed by and used in the Mopar lift kits. Bilstein shocks are endorsed by and used in Lite Brite builds. So it really comes down to - are you a Mopar diehard or a Lite Brite fan….
I say be different - use Falken. Or Rancho. Or… ah nevermind. Every shock brand is over-hyped, ultra-sponsored, and uber-advertised. Just use what you like best!
And don’t listen to me - I’m currently running rubi takeoffs!

Fox 2.0 RR shocks would be an excellent choice for a variety of reasons. Aluminum shock bodies resist rust and corrosion. Quality brand, rebuildable and can be custom tuned to ride exceptionally well

I have run bistein shocks on all my vehicles. To include my Porsche Carreras, Silverado HD, and they came factory on the srt8 grand Cherokee. I will be running them soon on my JLR. They are awesome shocks and perform really well.

I currently run Rubi takeoffs as well. Not a fan of Rancho's styling, and I also don't see them available in a remote reservoir style. Does anybody have experience with the Bilstein 5160's?

I'm starting to lean toward the Fox 2.0's after looking at that Accutune page.
