As said before, ring Chris at Milner Offroad Racing, he's a fox guru and has the fox shocks in stock in the uk.
He's really helpful too , noidea on price though as it'sin hundreds I went a diff route.
Good choice though mate :naughty
 
Fox fronts are about £360 delivered

Got to have them, just for pure bling if nowt else :D
 
the fronts are only ever going to be a version of std length 'cause there's simply no way of increasing front travel unless you drop the subframe :eek:
YOU will need an uprated shock though and the bounce rate of the monroe wont cut it. have you spoken to Milners offroad racing ?

yep, dont want to spend £360 tho at the moment on fox

Looking at a tough standard shock, but cheap

Rough country are cheap at < £50 each, but reviews say they aren't the toughest out there

possibly bilstein b6 offroad, monroe adventure, or something like this off another truck around the £100 each mark

decisions :doh
 
Apparently the old man emu shocks are made by monroe, with many of them just being re branded units

these might possibly fit :

Just looking at compressed and extended lengths to confirm ...

These Monroe Gas Magnum shocks provide firm control without a harsh ride by using up to twice the fluid capacity of standard 1 in. bore shocks. This special all-weather fluid contains special modifiers to reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction. They also feature full displaced valving, giving better valving range on both the compression and extension cycles for a smooth, comfortable ride. The Monroe Gas Magnum shocks use a sintered iron piston, which is stronger than traditional metals, to enhance durability for longer service life. Then they are nitrogen gas charged for improved ride and handling, helping to maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration. Their large 2 in. reserve tube allows for more fluid-producing consistent performance, while their 1 3/8 in. bore offers more lowering pressure than conventional 1 in. bore shocks. The Monroe Gas Magnum shocks are finished off with a 5/8 in. heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod and a special self-lubricating fluid seal to retain gas without excessive wear or friction

At $60 per pair they are massive and no doubt would be pretty tough, if they fit
 
Would just need to sleeve the bottom pin down to 12mm from the 14mm i think, or drill out the holes on the bottom arm possibly if there is enough material to play with

Yes but thats what you get when you want cheap. I think they would be fine for the stuff that you do.

I run them on the back, no problems yet.
 
50mm is not big, they'll fit in like a cigar in the mersey tunnel:lol
My cheapo rough country shocks are 50mm by the way :thumbs
 
YES, BUT I LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT :lol

I'll be having some rears off you mate :)
 
Hummer h2 front shocks fit too !

Some seriously hardcore options on those

:sly
