Fox Reservoir Shocks - Front Reservoir Mounting Locations

[oceanblue2019]

I thought about welding a plate in front of resi, but decided I didn’t want to mess with the aerodynamics .......

Keeps the shock fluid cool

I really think you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

I've had mine on for quite some time, done quite some trails, and zero issues in the factory location. The only deviation from the Fox instructions was to use rivnuts to mount them versus bolts and nuts.

Not sure how long the hose is on the 2.5 remotes. I'm running the Mojave's set now. Bolts in the same spot as Mojave do. I think the factory brackets are pricey.

Who make those ext red brake lines?

Those hoses on the factory Mojave shocks are actually longer than the hoses on the 2.5’s. You won’t have enough hose to mount the aftermarket ones in that spot.

They are about 1.5-2 inches long then factory. Did give better pedal feel over stock.

Nice, do they come with mounting location like stock?
Or ziptie away?

They are just like factory with brackets. They don't not have the rubber pad clip thing for the abs sensor wire. That was a ziptie.

I have the 2.5 DSCs. When I fully articulate the sway bar links push the reservoir hose. I’m trying to figure out what to do about this. I moved the reservoir up as far as I can and thinking about using a hose clamp to pull the hose even farther out of the way, but I do t know if it’s going to be enough.

If you rotate the resi towards the frame you can run the hose up against the frame and up over the coil housing. I zip tied mine too help keep them over. I had to notch my inner fender a little also . I’ve got plenty of room at full stuff.

I’ll try that. I have a Road Armor skid plate that might make that too tight, but we’ll see. Thanks

I think I got my issue of clearance ironed out

Where did you get those rubber hose clamps?

They’re just standard hose clamps, you can get them at any hardware store or auto parts store. I used a cert nut to attach it to the fender liner so I can remove the fender liner easily if needs be.

Very clever. Never seen those clamps before with the rubber inside. I may use this in my set up. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be replying to this thread any time soon. Ordered my shocks on Presidents’ Day and aren’t expected to ship until April.

@RhinoJLU - I know this thread is over a year old but I'm curious what you ended up doing? I am looking at installing a similar frame chop bumper.... Thanks
