The on the shaft bumps won't work with the bils. It will break the wiper seal cap off. At least that's what I read on desert rangers iirc

Well after I get back from Conclave and MAR I'm going to give it a shot. If they don't work(likely) then Kyle is going to trade me for some 12" SBs.

Bringing this back up.

Anyways I ended up buying 4 12" SBs and storing them for winter(didn't want to ruin them with salt yet)

And long story short, I'm going to sell them and have 4 Fox factory series on order. The question I have is where should get the eibach shaft stops, and the tool to install them(shaft clamp).

Thanks again Frank... I was somehow incapable of finding that. After removal you just slide the bump stop on and retighten? Loctite?

Yeah, you may need to heat it up to get the locktite to let go. The shock jaws help dissipate the heat but be careful you don't damage the seals.

Appreciate it Frank, I will try not to break anything...

400/100 is to hard IMHO

Pretty much everyone has been running this valving with the 7100s on Rover applications, I'm certainly no shock expert though.

I'd say 360/80 works best…but guy's aren't adjusting nitro pressure either…

Holy disappearing mystery man Batman...

they are only 185 from eshocks, and you get their great customer support.


I have been 100% satisfied with 360/80 front.
I have been about 90% satisfied with 400/100 in the back. but there may be other factors.
No nitro adjusting. probaboly need to check them now...

I was about 20% satisfied with the poly bushings as they desinigrated on me. 1/2 bolts with a deep shank and the sphericals have been great though.

Yeah and pretty much suffering with the harsh ride they have. I have almost a decade on 7100's so what do I know ?
