Can you add reservoirs to Fox shocks?

Fox 2.0 Remote Reservoir Performance Advantage Adding Remote Reservoirs to Fox 2.0 Performance Series Shocks improves their ride quality, long term durability and heat capacity. Remote reservoirs reduce the operating gas pressure, friction and heat inside the shock by allowing more volume for the nitrogen to expand.

Are reservoir shocks better?

Most people think the only benefit of remote reservoir shocks is their extra cooling capacity. But, another significant advantage is that a remote reservoir shock can offer more suspension travel than a non-reservoir shock of the same size.

Are Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks adjustable?

The single adjustable option of Fox’s 2.0 Performance Series Reservoir Shocks allows you to adjust compression with 8 valving options with just a twist of a knob. With 8 clicks of compression adjust-ability you can set your shocks to meet your driving needs from very soft to very firm.

Are remote reservoirs worth it?

Benefits. With such a large volume of space for the oil and gas to operate in there is a dramatic difference for internal operating pressures which increases ride quality immensely. Less pressure buildup with less wear leads to longer life – buy reservoir shocks if you want an upgraded suspension for life.

Do I need remote reservoir?

Go with the Reservoir option if you’re hitting the trails hard, frequently maxing out the suspension travel on your rig, or want to provide the most life possible for your vehicle and its components.

What does a piggyback shock do?

Primarily the aim of the piggyback design is to increase performance, the thinking is thus: By keeping the IFP and damper charge (usually nitrogen) away from the main body of the shock, heat build up over a long descent isn’t as much of an issue.

What do reservoir shocks do?

They’re designed with an external reservoir that increases fluid capacity. This increase in capacity helps lower fluid temperature, thus offering the ability to blast over rough terrain without experiencing shock fade due to overheating.

Do I need 2.0 or 2.5 coilovers?

2.0″ Shocks are recommended for light weight vehicles (up to 5,000 lbs) and street applications. Multiple shocks per corner must be installed for heavier vehicles. 2.5″ Shocks are recommended for medium weight vehicles (5,000 – 7,500 lbs) and recreational or racing applications.

Are Fox shocks worth it?

FOX Jeep shocks are made of aluminum because 6061 aluminum’s thermal conductivity value is over four times that of low carbon steel. This means that aluminum FOX shocks are able to cool much better than painted steel shocks, and they are extremely resistant to rust.
