Bought to order some 2.5" resi shocks for my ranger, called FOA and they said a 2.5 with Med compression and light/med rebound would be good.

Ive seen a lot of hate towards FOA, anyone have any experience?

I ran a set of 10" and 14" FOA Coilovers on my buggy. The biggest mistake I have made was putting those on my car. They constantly leaked and were in multiple times for repairs and had horrible customer service. They even lost them once while they were in for repair.

Simply put, you get what you pay for...

I sold them for literally nothing and was even considering just throwing them away. King piggybacks went on and the first word that comes to mind is fantastic.


I have also used Fox on my old buggy and now on my Bronco. They are very nice also.

You will never believe how much oil is in an FOA shock, until it has all leaked out onto the floor of your toy hauler on the trip home from the dunes...
