Hey Everyone!

ORW has been in the industry for over 45 years, and there's a reason why Warehouse is part of our name. We stock the best parts that we have used on our own personal vehicles, and we think are fit for yours!

Link to King Shocks for your JL

The Fox Perfomance series has been out for a few years now, and has proven to be an excellent entry level race shock at a great price. You get an aluminum body that will not rust (perfect for snowy areas) and also stays cooler compared to comparable steel body shocks. Fox allows for more nitrogen volume in the shock compared to Bilsteins so lower pressures can be used for softer, but more precise dampening.

King's Performance OEM shocks are a giant step above factory dampers. Enlarging the body diameter to 2.5" allows for a larger piston, more oil capacity, and more varied valving options. Having more oil keeps the shock cooler, allowing for longer service intervals. The larger piston allows a more varied diameter of valving shims, meaning King can make a shock that not only rides well on the street, but handles the hardest off-road hits with ease.

We have stock-2” and also the larger lift heights in stock for the Fox, and 0-2.5” for the Kings.

This early in the game, FOx and King did not want to release valving specs, but I’ll work I’m getting those for comparison.

Thanks for the response! I am looking for something to match a long arm build that will be somewhere in the 3.5 inch range. Single rate coil from Evo.

SO i just got word back from my FOX rep that 2.5s and reservoirs are going to be announced any day now. They are just dialing in final touches to their marketing and ETAs.

He also told me that the valving in the current 2.0s is a Very thin shimmed Dual Oil Bleed setup with flutters on compression. To me this means that its going to be a very plush riding shock, but they backed it up with thicker shims so i can handle drop outs.

The 2.5s are going to be valved similarly, but because the piston is larger, it can be dialed even further by their techs. Reservoirs means that adjustability can be added with the CDC or DSC valves. Long Arm applications will benefit well from the Fox line of shocks.

Will these be compatible to the Monroe shocks carrier at autozone?:giggle:

Great question Brett!

They are comparable in the fact that they are both shock absorber brands, but that's pretty much where it ends.

Fox/King products are serviceable, so the initial investment you put into them is recouped with very affordable rebuild costs in the future. Monroe products get tossed into the trash and rarely recycled correctly, so they mess up our landfills, and your Jeep's ride quality even before that.

Fox/King are also monotube (Internal Floating Piston and Remote Reservoir with IFP) shocks so they have less issues with cavitation (shock oil foaming) than comparable Monroes.

Fox 2.0s already benefit from a larger internal body diameter meaning the piston and shims can be larger than Monroes, meaning better ride quality can be achieved through better tuning.

Thanks for the details. When my rocksports need replacing we will be going the fox/king route. Are you a dealer for falcon by chance?

I’m not sure what the website will be doing for Veterans (I’ll be in the office!), but my forum specials are normally black-Friday style pricing all year.

The shock lengths are based usually on Sport models, so it will fit a Stock Sport up to a 2” lifted one, so a lifted rubicon will want to step up to the next shock length

Did you get the valving specs for the fox 2.0 performance shocks or have anything on the falcon 2.1 shocks? I'm trying to find this for the 3-4" lift shocks.

Secondly, are the front shocks offset where the bolt into the top mount to keep them off the frame? I assume the fox 2.0 are bc the fox shocks in the mopar lift are offset....but wanted to verify. Are the falcons offset? Thanks!
