I run a "regular" Fox ss and it makes the Jeep pull to the left. When I bought it it had around 60psi. I had the shop take it down to 35psi and it still pulls. They won't take it lower than that (they said Fox said not to go lower than 35). It defanately pulls. When I take the ss off the Jeep drives perfectly straight (other than "road crown" pull). One day I'll upgrade to the new Fox.

Once the rain lets up I'll climb under the Jeep and get some better photos of the SS mounted.

Thanks, I bought it used. For some unknown reason my jeep is handling better without the Ss. Dunno ... I have some funky crap going with my steering. |
Rofl ......... Win ^
I still had the jeep up on stands and cycled the steering left to right. Making sure I was centered in its stroke before fully tightening the clamp. Changing directions--the first 1-2" of travel in either direction--there was a loose/dead spot in the steering. Hard to explain. It was not smooth turning the wheel in either direction. I thought I had another issue until I disconnected the shock. Thoughts |

Yep... The first 1" is when you need the dampening from the shock.
I will try my TF SS tomorrow and see if there is a difference. |

I will try my TF SS tomorrow and see if there is a difference. We had TF's new 9550 on the Jeep for a bit. Before I put it on I extended and compressed it by hand and those suckers are stiff. But doing some mild wheeling on uneven trails it was just allowing to much feedback through the steering wheel via wicked bump steer. Good thing I didn't choose a good line over some small fallen trees and caved that puppy in something fierce. Needed to go anyway... Lol So now it's band-aided with an old 5100 an that's better than the TF was for me but I really just want that stiff and solid feel in the wheel. |

Here some pics of the fox SS mounted. I would have taken more but my phone died as I was taking them.
