Quick questions for the suspension pros, I am moving to Vegas and want to ditch the XREAS on my 07 for some C/O's. I am looking at AllPro's Fox setups but I am trying to decide between the 2.0 or the 2.5. I plan on doing mild offroad action basically camping trips but leaving the severe offroading to my Jeep. What do you guys think? Oh yea its on a V6 completely stock so there isnt any additional weight and wont be any either just an adventure trailer thats in the works. TIA

I am a rookie here also but from what I have read I think most will point you in the direction of the 2.0's for your application.
Also they will tell you to check with My034runner for prices.

2.5" COs and shocks have a lot more fluid and also a larger outside area. This helps to keep the shock cool under a hard workload. Typically the 2.5" shocks have larger shafts and components, which means they will last longer before a rebuild.
Either 2.0" shocks are still an upgrade from stock or a lot of other shocks out there. Make sure to get shocks that can be rebuild. So typically 2.0" would be fine for most uses. Keep in mind that dunes or fast desert roads work a shock much harder than slow crawling.
Also try to match the front and back in terms of shock capacity. A remote reservoir does help to improve cooling and capacity as well.

Thats the reason I was looking at the 2.0's. I originally was going to get the 2.5 remotes for the front and the 2.0 remote for the rears then I heard you should match both front and rear sizes. Fox is the way I am going just cant decide on that extra half and inch.
