Got a package today . So these look like Fox kits. They do have a lot more parts in them than the poly performance kit I had before. And they cost less.

So I had emailed him about a semi custom order. Asked if he could do the hole spacing farther apart as I was doing the cross stich. He said yes, just send a email when I ordered, which I did I received the normal hike spacing on mine. Emailed him. He said yea, they messed up and will send me...

He sells quality stuff and has videos on YouTube of how to lace them on. Very informative and easy to follow

So did all of the machine work on the rest of the shocks. Installed the schrader valves with a dab of blue locktight. They are sitting under pressure now to see if they leak. Ordered oil and rebuild kits from Summit racing. Should be here tomorrow.

Got my new leather from hellhound leather. So I redid the leather on my lever action "pistol". From this. To this.

Got some more parts in today Regulator with a 600 PSI gauge and hose. 300 PSI gauge to replace the 600 one . No loss air chuck for filling. Just need a couple of adapters and a on/off valve for the chuck.

Look at my post a few above. I think I also did a write up in my build thread. Look at post #464. Did what you are thinking. But I don't have ACC.

8. Next you need to remove the Internal Floating Piston. Place the shock body right side up on top of a thick towel or folded rag. This is to keep from damaging the piston. 9. Use a air hose with about 80 PSI and a air nozzle. Put the nozzle in the charge port , hold the shock body tight, and...

4. You will see the bottom seal piston. Push it down into the body far enough so you can remove the retaining ring with a pick. Save the retaining ring. 5. I put a large round screwdriver in the bolt eyelet and used a small hammer to tap up on it till the seal piston pops out of the body. 6...

Ok, here is the teardown of the Fox 2.0 IFP shocks. 1. Take a allen wrench and loosen the charge screw till you hear the pressure escaping. DO NOT unscrew it all the way till ALL of the pressure is released 2. Make you a shock clamp if you don't have one. 2x8 board. Drilled a 2" hole in it...

If you don't tell them not to, they will. Some places will argue that they have to for legal/insurance reasons. I had one shop tell me they could not mount the tires they just sold be because they were not "rated" for my truck. I tried to tell them that at full inflation, they could carry more...

While I have a 21 PW, not a 25, I had that issue as well till I got AlphaOBD and changed it. I changed out tires at 200 miles to 35s. Run 35/30 and it rides nice. I had my truck weighed empty, 7300 lbs. My tires are rated at 3000 lbs each at 50 PSI. That's 12000 lbs total. Ain't no way the...

Lifted my Power Wagon with no issues when I had to change a front tire on the side of the road.

Yea, that grill is jacked. Looks like a cross of the 21 jail bar grill and some Chevy or Ford grill.

Got 108K miles on my PW and no issues. Been running 35s since 200 miles. But changing suspension parts may cause issues, depending on how well made they are YMMV
