We just received our set of Fox 3.2 IBP Factory Race Series shocks today! I wanted to throw a quick photo up, these things are MASSIVE! We will be shooting an install video with them next week for anybody that's interested.

Just finished up the install this afternoon and it came out great! Video should be up in the next week or so. Excited to put some miles on them and see how they feel!

Some post-install notes for anybody considering these beasts.

You'll need wheel spacers or an aftermarket wheel with a +35mm or numerically lower offset, otherwise your tires will rub on the reservoirs. I am running factory wheels with Spidertrax 1" wheel spacers for sufficient clearance.

If you are installing onto a non-hybrid vehicle you will want to reduce the preload on the coilovers. Out of the box they will lift the front 3". If you reduce the preload as far as the shock allows you will end up with about 2.25" lift.

The reservoir brackets at the front can be a little tricky to secure to the frame. I've sent some feedback to Fox engineers which may improve on the bracket in the near future.

The instructions recommend running at the #4 positions for front and rear on the DSC Evo's. I have the adjusters set at #3 on high and low currently for around-town driving.

Looking forward to getting off pavement with them and feeling the internal bypass magic!

I am going back and forth between these and a set of King 2.5's. I have had King's prior and have experience with them. However these new Fox 3.2's have me very interested. They do look massive however

I'm really happy with them so far but have only been putting around town / highway miles on them. There aren't a lot of offroad trails in the midwest where I can put the bypass zones to work. We head to Overland Expo West in about two weeks and I'll be able to give them a workout and report back.

I am biased and prefer Fox over King - King is an easier shock to work on for rebuilds but the shafts are not great. They commonly pit and flake their chrome plating off which can wipe the seals and require new shafts at time of rebuild. I have a collection of King shock shafts on our shock table from rebuilds I've done lol. Fox doesn't have this problem and on some models they boot the rear shafts to protect them.

I will be at Overland Expo West as well!

Good info. I have never had that issue even when having rebuilt but that could def be a concern for sure and more costly
