    I looked into Fox 2.0 before installing my bilsteins. You'll need to have new stem type end cap made for the fronts. I know there are conversion kits out there but they add too much length to the shock such that the compressed length is to long (at least with the current bump stops [you'll bottom out the shock before hitting the bump stop]) which means you'll need to use the shorter Fox 2.0, but then you will not have the same amount of extended length which will limit your articulation as well. There is also a Fox 2.0 that will fit the rear but has a slightly shorter extended length than stock. A good machine shop should be able to make a stem style top end cap for you, or perhaps someone already has, but I could find one. The bilsteins (H0) are not plush. They feel as stiff a stock but do not seem to "settle" as well as the stock unit when ripping down potholed fireroads. I hope this helps. Let me know if you do end up fitting the fox units as I'd like to someday as well. Keep checking with fox as they are continually changing their product line.
