Anyone running remote resevoir shocks.. I'm considering a set of walker evans or Fox when I order my lift....

where are you guys mounting the resevoir? I'm concerned about any clearance issues. Esp. in the front...

Pics would be greatly appreciated.

 

wast of money unless you are desert racing at high speeds.

just my .02......

 

dhoffroad is running some Fox in this thread......https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/3-lift-35-toyos-fox-shocks-stock-wheels-3777/

 

yea like BLKRUBI said I'm running them (fox's). I don't have any "clearance" problems. I'm running the front resevors more straight out than that are in those pics but the rear's are the same. I just got back this afternoon from the Rubicon and I did end up putting a couple little scratches on one of the rear reses...

 

If the shocks are sufficient quality and are properly valved, a remote reservior is completely unnecessary on street driven/trail trucks. Even if you run hard in the desert at speed, a good quality shock will suffice. While the remotes have their place and add to the cool factor of gizmos and gadgets, they are not necessary on a good quality shock absorber that will be used on 95% of the JK's out there.
A good, gas charged, monotube with appropriate valving can offer fantastic ride control at virtually all speeds and also offer anti-cavitation or foaming.
Do your homework, ask the manufacturers about valving specifically for your Jeep.

 

Like stated above, for rockcrawling and street driving remote reservoirs arnt needed and are a waste of $$.
