WTB Fox 3.0s for Gen 1

[USNCORPSMAN]

As it says, looking for a set of Fox 3.0s for my first gen. Used. If they need a rebuild that’s fine too!

 

[Johndeere99]

There are several set on eBay. Just did mine.

 

[USNCORPSMAN]

What did you search for? Every time I try I only get new ones in the results

 

[Johndeere99]

search Ford Raptor shocks. New 2017 2018 take offs.

 

[Johndeere99]

You may know already but they are longer and will raise your truck about 1" to 1 1/2". You will have to use you 2.5
springs and your spring tops with the longer bolts for the Gen 1. But they will work. There are a couple youtube videos
that are helpful if you need them.

 

[USNCORPSMAN]

Oh yeah I have seen plenty of those, I just wasn’t sure if they were comparable to the aftermarket 3.0s for the 1st gen. I was looking for those specifically, but if the 2nd gen factory ones are comparable to the aftermarket 1st gens I may have to reconsider. Do you know, or could you point me in the right direction? I don’t mind searching, but since we’re here in the topic I figured I’d ask haha

 

[Johndeere99]

Don't know or have any info on the after market 3.0. For the price i just went with the new 2017 / 2018 take offs and put those on my 2014 Gen1.

 

[USNCORPSMAN]

Ok cool. Thanks for the info!

I just picked up a set of four 2017 take offs on ebay for 600 shipped, they were asking 660, offered 600, done, there are more at that price range on there ...I won't need them for another year but when they need to be rebuilt, I can just swap them out for basically the same money as rebuilding them.

What do you mean by the spring tops with longer bolts?

 

[USNCORPSMAN]

The hat, the top of the shock assembly, the 1st gen has longer bolts.

 

[Tx State]

The hat, the top of the shock assembly, the 1st gen has longer bolts.

All that means is just moving the bolts from the gen 1 shock to the gen 2 correct?

 

[USNCORPSMAN]

The whole top hat. So you would compress your gen 1 spring, remove the top hat and spring, then transfer both over to the gen 2 setup.

I would not do that, stick with getting Fox 3.0’s designed for the GEN1.

What is your budget?

Why do you suggest not using these on the gen1?

Yeah that is really where I am leaning. Just seems to speculative for the gen2s on a gen 1 as they were not designed for the first gens. I’d rather wait and get exactly what I’m looking for.

I had a guy with a friend (you know how that goes haha) that said he had a set of rebuilt ones he’d be willing to let go for $1500. But I haven’t heard anything back at all. I honestly haven’t seen many to know what they were worth, but I’d say my budget is $1500-$2500 depending on condition obviously

I may be looking to sell my Icon 3.0s if you're interested. Maybe 5k miles on them. PM me if interested
