Fox 3.0 on Ebay

[Bull]

I've been seeing alot of stock units from the Gen 2 on ebay for really cheap, like $650 for a full set.
The Sellers state they are new take off's and the location is in Dearborne so I think they are legit.

Does this seem right or are they possibly reman units?

Are they from Roush?

Sounds cheap, try it and let us know!

 

[BajaLaz]

Might be from Tuscany or Roush

Worked for me. Purchased mine from cbautopartners on eBay. $630. Put them on my Gen 1.
Figured if they were good enough for my Gen 2 they would be good on the Gen 1 too.

Not a bad deal since its about $500 + shipping for a rebuild. I might pick some up and keep em in the garage for a year or 2.

I thought the fronts did not work on the GEN1?

They will work with a little work. There is a few helpful videos out there that help. No big deal you just have to use the coil springs and tops with the longer studs off your old shocks. The 3.0 springs are just enough bigger around that they have
some clearance problems. Have had mine on about 10 days and no problems. They will raise your truck about 1.5" due
to the longer length of the 3.0.

is that 1.5 inch raise with factory gen 1 springs or did you put gen 1 geiser springs on as well?

I used my factory Gen 1 springs.

hi jonh, I m a new member in this forum , and I have a 2012 ford raptor., and time to rebuild shock ( 76000km)
since the introduction of gen 2 shock on your gen 1, have you had any problem about your transmission before, and you bring other modifications on the front suspension, I would like to have your judgment, because in view of the prices of a fox shock set oon eBay , I would like to do the same installation.thx for your help.

I got set set of front oem from an 18 for 150 shipped on eBay. I couldn’t believe it!

Pat,

I've had mine on for 5 months with no issues. I don't off road, rock climb of leave the ground with my truck intentionally.

If I want to cross a ditch or other obstacle that comes by in the course of a day, I do it. I drive mine daily on the farm. There

are many post saying don't do it. If I were using my truck truck in a rougher fashion I would be concerened about the issues

mentioned in other post. I think you have to be your own judge. I believe if you just use it and don't abuse it you will be ok.

But if you like to rough house your truck, (I know it was made to play) I would probably go a different direction.

thank you for your reply John

No Way, i need to figure out what i'm going to do soon, I can hear my rears getting louder.

Wow, seeing these are 880 right now for full set of new takeoffs...do these just bolt right on to Gen1's? I had been planning to have my stock 2.5s rebuilt soon.

The Rears bolt right up but the Fronts require you to use your old Springs i believe.

I have some OEM Gen 2 shocks with RPG collars on the fronts if you are interested, and the leafs springs.

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns
