There's a FOX setup in the latest 4x4 Action magazine, They rekon its a pretty serious suspension setup but I've never used it or know anyone that's had it.

The fox wasn't available for the triton so i had to go the slightly more expensive option and get the kings i cant describe how big the shocks are haha do it nice or do it twice i guess ;)

Looks awesome "Triton_Guru, Are they the ones that have an adjustable height and hard/soft dampener adjustment too ?

Let us know how they go on the tarmac and bush! ;)

Yh they are and they are fantastic so far mate loving them definitely worth the extra $$$ you will need a shock pump to adjust the dampener which luckily i have one from my old down hill days but so far so good :)

Had to cut a massive section out due to it fouling on the coilover if you buy the after market control arms there will be no problem but they cost over a grand i believe

hi mate looks like great gear...what are your ride heights now ??was it fouling on the Uca due to being raised to high or due to the coil over being a larger unit?.

It was due to it being a larger unit, the coilovers are adjustable up to i believe 4 inches or in the tritons case as far as the arms will let ya but mine is only lifter 45mm back ks slightly higher at 60mm

$3K is a decent price for what you end up with, especially since the fitter also had to modify the upper control arms to suit the new lift.

All the best with the new bit of kit.

Did you need engineering sign off on the fabrication work? Not sure where you are but in NSW on my reading of the latest rules you'd have to go through that to get it legal. Different rules around in different places though.

Awesome set up mate....

Has anyone got any info or contacts for raised upper control arms?
I've been scanning the forums for hours. Apparently people can source them from thailand but I wouldn't know where to start... Google just isn't giving me the answers.
