Hello all

Anyone interested on relocating your Fox 2.0 reservoir on your wheel well? Here’s a write up for it: you’re going to need these items.




You can buy 2 of these Pipe couplers at Lowe’s or Home Depot for less than $15. It has a rubber insert that you’ll need to cut in half in order for the Fox sticker to show & cut the excess aluminum on both ends.

Once you remove your wheel well cover, cut the sheet metal to expose shocks




Install your wheel well cover, drill a hole bigger than the diameter of the braided line, cut vertically on your wheel well to match the hole. Pull your reservoir out to relocate outside the wheel well.

Fox reservoir installed, looks good to me!! Easy DIY


Here’s the finished product. Looks good to me!😎. Let me know what you guys think 🤔

 

Awesome write up. I didn't look at the details much, but I'll get back to it. Moving the cannister would make tuning the shocks MUCH easier. Thanks for posting this.

 

No worries, I hope this write up helps.

 

Great project! I was planning on doing the same exact thing when I do my install. FYI, the newer "kits" that are put together at Eurowise come with slightly longer lines. Not long enough to avoid cutting, but longer than what comes on the W463 specific kits (that Fox stopped manufacturing for the past few months)

I picked up some 2" stainless steel wire clamps with rubber inserts to achieve the same goal.

 

Good stuff. How often do you find yourself changing the settings?

 

Thanks, I should be done adjusting my shocks but in the beginning I had it set to +2 in the front & +3 in the back. The back was too bouncy.... It was too soft for me so I adjusted it again +1 front & rear for the 2nd time but had a tough time due to the reservoir was slight hidden inside the wheel well. Also like this look better.

 

Solid!

I set mine once, took a ride and made them a bit stiffer. Can't for the life of me remember what I set them to. This was before I had my loaded roofrack and I think the current stiffness is perfect with the additional weight.

Thanks for the write up, I may look at doing just this in a couple of months! Been trying to ween myself off from doing too much more at the moment as I think I have my truck where I want it for a while. Picking up a new motorcycle project soon that I will be jumping into.
