Rear Fox 3.0 Protection?

[RaptorBri]

Hey guys,

Thinking about picking up the Fox 3.0 Rear bypass shocks, but noticed there is no real protection from rocks etc. hitting the shaft. I currently have the Outlaw shock protectors on the stockers, but was wondering if there is any aftermarket protection for the 3.0's?

Or.. what any of you have done to address this.

The runs we go on in Alberta typically involve 2" to 5" rocks......and they do fly up and out!

Thanks for any input.

ya the icon flaps are good for protecting the shocks from being sand blasted and the small stuff but won't do nothing the the real big stuff we encounter around here. they would be better than nothing though.

Hey Brain when you get them see if the factory guards will work. has anybody tried?maybe somebody that has done the swap will chime in.

Hi Kris,

I know for a fact the stock guards won't fit. The base of the stock unit has 3 treaded holes for the guard to screw to. The Fox 3.0's do not have this base.

The Icon shocks come with a guard similar to the factory ones but with thicker plastic.
