Shock absorbers FOX or Sachs

Fox 2.5" internal bypass shock and springs off a 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.

Adds about 1" in height. Rides a bit firmer that stock shocks on paved roads and performs great off-road.

Sachs are great! Came stock on the SR 2016 Altima and they ride great, stiff and sporty.

At the comp level you get Fox Rhythm 36 in the front and Float X in the back. Nice stuff for what most people will do with the bike.

Go for the Fox. I have them, I like them.

Fox 2.0s on my wife’s suburban, very happy with them.

The difference is night and day, car is 30mm lower front and 15mm in the back. Feels more planted, feedback is more responsive and absorbs bumps a bit firmer but still feels nicer than the floatier stock setup. Previously would float into a corner whereas it feels predictable and how a Bimmer should.

If you are content with stock and just want to refresh, there are many options, but Sachs is a reliable stock brand for shocks.

I recently replaced them with the Sachs oe equivalent to save money. They’re a softer ride than the B4 and in hindsight, while not a bad purchase, I would have preferred the B4.

factory FOX shocks knocked over road bumps (valving issue - needed to be replaced)
