I have no first hand experience with this particular shock but it seems to be a Fox emulsion shock with rubber bushings on the ends instead of heims. That being the case, there as good as anything Fox puts out. Anyone in the market for shocks also needs to check out http://f-o-a.com/index.php |

I just learned about these last week. IFP means independent floating piston. This is a free floating piston within the shock that seperates the nitrogen from the oil to make a more stable shock. So the gas is held in a chamber all its own. no foaming or fade. They can be added to existing fox shocks. |

Here is a picture. upper chamber holds nitrogen and lower holds oil. Normally oil and nitrogen in the same chamber. if oil is unstable or shock gets worked rapidly the oil may foam and the shock becomes less effective. With the two in separate chambers the dampening stays more consistant.

We'll I think that's what I'm going to run. I run some Gabriel overload shocks now with coil spring and I do nothing but blow them out every trip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's exactly the same setup as the long bodied bilstiens, or any Foxes with remote canisters. Yes, it helps reduce fade and cavitation, but the downside is the shock body has to be longer for any given travel. Personally I'd just buy the remotes. |

So, once you set up for this shock, modify your shock tower or upper shock mount, your committed to this shock. Chances are nothing else will fit in there. Good insight Phillip. |

So do you guys think would be ok to run on the rear in conjunction with torsion bars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am sure you could, but I agree with Philip too. Just get the regular shocks with remote cans. |
