Default RK 3.5 Max Travel w/ Fox 2.0 IFP ?

Looking to see if anyone has run this setup. The fox part numbers are 980-24-642 rear and 980-24-641, got a pretty good price on them. Was looking to get feedback on how well they work with the RK kit, and if not, what would be better for around that same price (around $100 each)?

thanks

ha, by the lack of response, I will assume not many people run this set up. I guess my next question would be: What shocks are you running with your RK 3.5 lift?

I have this exact setup waiting to be installed. I look forward to feedback and will report back once I get everything installed next week or the week after.

FWIW the guy who sold me the package had good things to say about the fox shocks and mentioned he runs these 2.0s on his rig.

I run the Bilstein 5100s with my RK 3.5" X-Factor on my JKU...Bilstein 5100 were $80.00/shock if I remember correctly from Quadratec.
They ride great and look great, I love them!

I just installed that setup 2 weeks ago. I must say the ride is so nice. So smooth on the highway.The only problem you might run in to is the rear track bar relocation bracke rubs on them i just had it trimmed when it was welded on.

Can you take a pic of that trimmed bracket? this is the lift I'm going to put on my JK when it arrives and I'd like to see what you had to do.
