Shocks on backorder

[Overland Utah]

I work at a dealership and we install quite a few lifts, of various brands. I was surprised to hear from our parts department that Fox is 56 weeks out on shock orders. (Yes, over a year!) Once I heard this I called Falcon to place the order for my new build (Jeep is on order), and they are 12-16 weeks out as well. I figured I would pass on the info, if you’re looking for a lift before summer, then find one in stock ASAP as I expect most will be bought up shortly.

Was looking for a set of Fox shocks this morning on the Quadratec web site. It says Order Today, will ship after June 27th. Had a similar situation with an ARB Compressor and the delivery date kept being pushed back, month after month. I'm afraid it will be the same situation with the shocks.

Best,

Call 4WP. Depending on what you’re looking for they may be able to source them since they have such a large reach across the country. I needed 3.5-4” and was able to get them a couple days after calling. Worth a shot at least!

Is that a factory replacement shock or an aftermarket shock for a lift? Our lead times are definitely not that bad

I believe it was for aftermarket but it might have been for a Ram specific lift, possibly even for a HD lift. I was more just trying to stress the fact that some parts are a few months out and I was interested to see what others are seeing. I myself was surprised when I placed my order for some Falcons being 2-3 months out.

I am looking to order Fox 2.0's for a 2-3" lift. Northridge has the best price but the fronts are on backorder. Any vendors in stock on front and rear and do price matching?

Most sources (unless they have their own warehouse stock) will be on backorder. King shocks are similar delays and their coilovers are about 40+ weeks. It's the same reality that it was a year ago, costs on materials are higher, less work capacity, people with stimulus money, etc... It'll probably b this way for at least another year so just be prepared when you order anything, even couches apparently

And thank you @Morris4x4, in stock and price matched!

I ordered a couch from a big box store and it took 5 months. Lol.

I got a set of falcons 3.3s from an Amazon in about 3 days. Another forum member pointed me to them and I got them quick. At that time I was told 14 out from teraflex.

Glad, I bought all my lift stuff back in Oct 2020. Everything was in stock then. The only delay was the steering stablizer which was 3 months back ordered.

We also have them in stock, free custom valving included in the MSRP price, no price matching since no one else offers the tuning services we do.

I order the Rebel Offroad front double throwdown and the rear coilover setup on March 2nd. I was told today that eta is late August for the coilovers and shocks to come in .... wtf

That is 7k tied up for half year before get the product and see the coilovers..... hard pill to swallow at that point.

I hope you get them by August, we are still waiting on shipments we've had on order since November/December. Any orders we have around Jan/Feb we expect to see by August. Best of luck

We do have our JL 2.0 Fox DSC Coilover kits in stock, a few of them actually
