Per PRG Greg at PRG Products.com Quote:
1,Fox is an emulsion shock, there is no reservoir. The Saw have an internal dividing piston, or internal reservoir, to offer consistant damping and keep the nitrogen from mixing with the oil.
2, valving, the Fox are a generic valving, im not sure if anyone at fox has ever actually riden ina a lifted titan with thier shocks (as I was the first person to ever have a set on a titan) and they were too soft (but still a bit harsh) on compression and needed a bit more extension damping. The SAW and Radflos are tuned specifically for this application by myself.
3, the Fox uses a spring spec'd by CST, its very heay for a 2wd and is very short (13.5" free length) and prone to sag. Thw saw and rf use a 16" long spring and we offer it with 2wd or 4wd specific tensions. Also, the spring is too short to offer much lift without going into coilbind. Another reson we built these coilovers to run the longest spring possible.
4, the upper mounting studs on the Fox tend to break off. Im not sure if they have been updated to use bolts. No matter the studs need to be removed and bolts used in place. The saw and rf use a fabricated hat that uses bolts and nuts for max strenght.
5, Price, the Fox c/o sell for around $1200. The remote res Radflos go for $1249, the internal res sell for $1099, the SAW sell for $999.
I still sell Fox products, we actually race on them. This isnt a bash on Fox at all. But for a lifted titan specific coilover, you have other options.
Firt pic is fox with much better king springs,
second pic is remote res radflo w/ king spring,
third is internal res radflo w/ eibach spring,
4th is ne SAW w/ red and black spring.
Last pic, this is what needs to be done to the Fox to make it kick butt. Itll add about $600 to the price though.
