    Us fellas had no idea when watching this that Timmy would say “Fox Shocks” that many times. So we’re going to watch it again & every time he say “Fox Shock”, we’re going to have a SHOT 🥃. A SHOT for the SHOCKS 😂. This should be fun. 😂

    This vid is timely as I am currently trying to size up some shocks for my 2000 E450 Ambulance. I do not know much about shocks. But I am concerned about the length of your front shocks. @8:39 it looks like you only have a couple inches before the shock begins to limit your wheel travel. Maybe you should send a photo of how they fit to the guys you bought them from and see if they see a problem.

    I've got some Fox 2.0's coming on Tuesday. I've got a shot back so I'm just trying to improve the ride. I'm a little concerned with what looks like maybe 1.5" of available travel on your front shocks at 8:39 though. Doesn't that bottom out on you? The shock body looks too long.

    The shock is never hard to decompress by hand I have never experienced an issue with any sort of struts and never had to cut the band and put the bolt in at the same time because the bushing in that design is meant to be tight the shock would never have enough power to get it self in!

    How long did it take to blow out your front shocks lol? You can see they are WAY too long! Maybe 2” of shock travel and it looks like 3 times that between the bump stop and spring. Don’t rely on someone else to figure out shock lengths, you gotta do the measurements yourself as is obvious by looking at how bad these fit your truck.
