Shock absorbers FOX or Dobinsons

I’m running Fox shocks now and they feel much better than the bilsteins wich i had prior to Fox .

I’m running the Fox Performance Elite all round on my 2020 and love them. Pricey

Personally I went Dobinson MRAs which have handled outback travel and tough tracks. Some prefer them revalved but mine is heavy enough to work well with them. Unlike their springs it seems to be a decent product.

I ripped them out the same week and went for Dobinsons MRR. Honestly? Night and day. The ride is smoother on-road, planted in corners, and off-road they just eat up washboards and corrugations. I’ve hammered them through tracks that would’ve rattled the Bilsteins to death, and they haven’t skipped a beat.

I settled on Dobinson IMS, definitely a higher price point but worth every penny.

I have FOX... I'd buy them again...

Just change shock absorbers. I would very much recommend adjustable ones eg Dobinson. Bilsteins are great but they have very specific valving which has a lot of low speed damping, eliminating body roll but resulting in a bumpy ride under 60km/hr. At high speed they’re awesome. Some of the US spec ones have softer valving (5100s)

I've taken my non-res Fox 2.0s to Hatteras and all around the East Coast beaches and never had issues with them overheating. They're fantastic shocks

My MRR’s have the exact same symptoms. Also around 30k miles. Dobinsons is awesome and is taking it in on warranty no questions asked really. They’re the best.

I had the Fox 2.0’s and the shock shaft wore through the top mounting plate.
