T100 update - swapping out my shocks and bumpstops for Fox Racing Shox

[Curtis Guise]

Fox Racing Shox have been long time supporters of the Dezert People Video Series and race-dezert.com. In April I changed out all four of my bump stops to 2" body by 4" travel Fox's. Yesterday I installed my new 3"x18" 3 tube bypass and 2.5" coil-overs in the rear of the T100. I went with piggy back shocks for a cleaner setup.

Next phase will be to swap out the front bypasses and figure out if I can fit 2.5" coil overs instead of the 2" ones that are in there now.

3.0's :eek: I think you just made another T100 jealous!


Looks good.

[Curtis Guise]

The old rear bypass shocks were 3.0's also. I wish I could fit bigger shocks up front but it's to tight so I will have to stick with 2.5" bypass. Hopefully the 2.5 coil-overs will fit.

Looks Good Curtis.
Hope to see you in Mex for the B1K 40th anniversary

The piggy-backs are real clean!

Before you put the 2.5 C/Os in the front...leave the T-100 out in the sun...so it gets real hot and everything expands....then they should drop right in:D

looks like a lot of pre-load on your springs. what are the lengths and weights?

[Curtis Guise]

I don't remember the specs on the springs right now but there is only about an inch of preload. If I take off the second spare tire (I do for shorter trips) then I back off the preload at least 1/2".

saw your truck at the expo for the first time. question about your lower 4-link bars, it seamed realy long, do they mount at about the same place as your out put shaft is on your tranny? how much plunge do you have?

[Curtis Guise]

They are 60" long. It's an extra cab so I had to use a two piece drive shaft. the center carrier bearing is somewhere between the front lower link pivots and upper link pivots. The plunge isn't bad, I think 1/2" to 1". But its been years since I checked it.

I just finished swapping out the front shocks this week. I barely squeezed in the 2.5" coil overs.
