BDS tuned*


I'm looking to upgrade my pro comp shocks (3" lift) because they are way too harsh.

Looking into one of the two shocks above. Any suggestions? Thoughts on either one? I hear a lot about the 5100 but don't know much about the tuned fox shocks... Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Both fox and bilstein are great shocks.

I'm sure you would be happy with either one.

I had 5100s on mine before I got my 5160s since I do a lot of highway driving. I thought they helped with a relatively smooth ride. If you decide to gif the 5100 route I can sell you mine for pretty cheap.

Thanks agian and PM sent



I'm just wondering if its worth it to spend the extra $200 for the tuned fox shocks or just get the bilsteins for now and later upgrade to the 5160 or teraflex tuned fox shocks...

I have the BDS tuned Fox shocks. There is NO difference between these and the regular FOX 2.0....

They are all the same, and are FANTASTIC shocks. Fox makes great products, and I have heard great reviews on the 5100's.

Go Fox, they are just plain cooler IMO

Thats what i'm thinking but i heard the fox 2.0 are fairly rough thats why i thought maybe the tuned ones were a little better.... i have pro comps right now and hate how rough the ride is...

I'm a huge fox fan and planing to maybe upgrade to the teraflex runs one day but for now i can't handle these pro comps lol
