You would think that but looking at the detail on fox's page the Adventure and Evo series are 5/8 shafts with a 2.0 body making it a smaller shock. The Falcon has a 3/4 shaft and 2.25 body. So no rebadging I can see. Ill let you know when I get them in how they are.

After my last wheeling trip I found my reservoirs had some rock rash, and I've already raised the lower mounts 1.5" wth EVO rockstars with my reservoirs piggy back mounted up much higher than the Falcon reservoirs. This set up is shown below:
After this trip I relocated them above the swaybar:
This experience I had 2 weeks ago just confirms to me my original thoughts, the rear shocks need work it's just a bad design. It's hard to imagine any reason the falcon reservoirs would be better where they are currently mounted than up on top of the shock.

Hadn't been on in a while. I ordered the 2.1s. And they actually just got here yesterday. The tracking number the shop was using was actually for a Teraflex tire carrier, so my shocks ended up being backordered for a bit. They are here now though and getting installed Friday.

Looks great! Have you been on the freeway with them yet? That's where I noticed the initial improvement, then once I got in the dirt it was night & day!

Spoke to Teraflex yesterday. Asked about status on my 3.1's and I'm being told it's going to be another 2-3 weeks before I receive them. The wait is agonizing to say the least.
I'm normally a patient guy but not when it comes to waiting on Jeep parts. 60+ days of waiting is too much for a guy to stand!

Yeah, a little bit. The shop that installed them is about 45 minutes up the road, so I was on the freeway on the way home. Haven't driven it much since they got installed, but I noticed the initial improvement as well.

Ok so I just talked to Teraflex and they said the 2.1 Sport shocks are another 6-7 weeks out.
They did have 3.1 in stock so I cancelled my order and picked up the 3.1 and they gave me a discount through the site I ordered from 901.00$ they should be here Friday. From what I was told.
I also got my atz p3 in

I can't blame you on ditching those 2.1's when you're being told it's another 2 months before you get them. Crazy.
