Interesting that someone has commented on the damping match of the Fox's to a significantly stiffer T-bar. Thanks for that info, 72 blueNblu..... What needs to be realized is that there is a damping match in the shock for each spring rate...i.e., a stiffer spring requires a stiffer main shock 'rate' to minimize the suspension motion but not be too harsh.
Sounds like the Fox's will be too stiff for a smaller T-bar thant 1.12". You might not see this much but you WILL see an issue with too stiff a shock rate on rough pavement surfaces (like the Rancho shock story above); the wheels will tend to 'skitter' about on small bumps. This can compromise steering traction on rougher surfaced roads, sealed pavement cracks, etc.
Also (for jerry6), if the shock extension is not long eoungh, you will be using the shocks as the droop stops instead of the car's droop stops (the ones on the subfame that hit the uppper control arm). This will sooner or later blow out the shocks. So if you use these, lower the ride height, and then either never drive on rough roads or do any Dukes of Hazzard jumps, or make the droop bump stops taller to hit before the shocks are at full extension. I did not know this 40 years ago and blew out my first set of Bilstein's on my Ranchero; I modded the top mounts to give the shock more extension room and get it better centered in the travel (and was happy ever after).
