They should have the same valving, the res just holds more oil and gives you that cool factor.
I thought you could re-valve fox shocks? Why don't you send them in for softer valving?

I think I'm gonna have to call fox and see what I could do. The 2.0 I have on now we're a upgraded option from bds which I would have thought would be a good setup there good shocks just for highway driving is to much

See if you can get the coil rates from bds, and get some weights on your jeep. Explain what you are looking for to fox and they should be able to come up with a new valving solution for you.

You might be able to add the adjusters to your current shock depending on the model. I know you can add adjusters to kings. You would have to add the res as well so it may be eaiser to just get a custom set built and sell your current ones when the new ones arrive.
