How did they fit?

They fit like a glove,great shocks!

Exactly. On the rear compressed you have to use a little math. On ride hight measure the distance between axle and bump stops, but since rear shocks are on an angle you can not just subtract that. Draw up a triangle and draw it up at ride height, then make one for compressed. Use A^2+B^2=C^2 to find what you need. Front is as easy as subtracting the distance from the bump stops from the shocks

update

I installed some fox 2.0 on my 00. I ordered the set for a 05 w I think the lift I needed. It's only been a couple days and it's a huge improvement. The bucking is gone and normal street driving is alot smoother. For ****s n giggles I took it hard down a road destroyed by local construction crews. Truck tracked straight and never got out of line. If in add a little extra weight it will.be perfect

Just ordered the complete Carli 2.5" Backcountry w/ Fox 2.0's and full Deavers...

I enjoyed reading all of your reviews on these Foxes and I hope they check out better than the out-of-box 5100 Bilsteins I am currently running!

I'd swap out the 5160 I have in the front ifni could find a fox res shock for my lift that doesn't cost over 200 per
