Default Question for those with Fox IFP 2.0 Reservoir Shocks

I will be recieving my Fox reservoir shocks next week to compliment my TF 2.5 coil lift. I was trying to get a gauge of how you like the ride from the factory? Has anyone felt the need or had the shocks revalved?
Are they valved at 200psi like the "TF tuned" Fox shocks? I am/will be running light with my 2 door Rubi. No rear seat, and I will be going with a lightweight front bumber like the LOD stubby and rear bumber & carrier. Or maybe just the TF tire carrier down the road. I will also be running 17x9 with 315-70-R17 Duratracs.
I am pretty stocked about these shocks and they have been on the want list for some time
Thanks for any feedback guys

I have them and they were valved for the TF 3 inch kit. If you got them for a TF kit then you should have a near factory ride. I would rec omen a long arm kit for the next upgrade as they also help the ride.

Absolute love mine with the 4.5 synergy springs and Metalcloak arms.
Great ride on and off road.
I had to relocate the resi to the frame do to contact with the 37's while flexing.

Like a factory ride, you will like them. I never noticed a change at all when the 3" lift and shocks went in.

Looks good dude. My Fox's are the factory replacement ones, not the TF tuned. I think they are valved at 200 psi as well, but have not been able to confirm that yet. I am looking forward to strapping those to the 2.5 coil lift. I also went with the monster front TB and rear TB and waiting for the new Fox ATS SS to come in. Paid for, just waiting on ORW to recieve them. Oh yeah, got some exhaust spacers as well. Slowly getting everything pieced together

I really like em. On road they feel tiny bit stiffer than my old Bilstein 5100's, but offroad in conjunction with the EVO 3" plush coils, these fox shocks kill it! Shine bright offroad. Awesome

Nice looking ride. Hopefully they will compliment the TF springs. I don't mind the setup being a little firmer. Might negate some of the body roll I get with the stock rubi springs & shocks.
