Cool. Post pics, that is the combo that interests me. And I'd love a review of his you feel it handles vs stock. Both highway and off highway is of value to me.Yes - nominal lift. 1.7" front and 1.2" rear.

Would you mind expanding on this statement? For on road driving, do the shocks absorb expansion joints and bumps better when compared to the stock shocks?Shock upgrades have been great on other vehicles, but surprisingly the Grenadier really loves higher quality shocks, and the bigger the better (ok, within reason... a street driven vehicle with 3.0s won't see any real improvement over a 2.0 shock)
Yes without question, I have the Koni Raid shocks, set in the middle of their range and expansion joints are much more controlled and less jarring than previously... The low speed compression (slow motions upward for the shock) is not drastically different on road; but both on road and off road high speed compression (expansion joints, rapidly uneven gravel/rocks in a dirt road, etc) are so much more controlled.Would you mind expanding on this statement?

Here's some not great pics (including bike rack). Highway is better for sure, but part of that is the steering dampener upgrade. Offroad comments coming soon.Cool.

Thank you, better high speed compression is exactly what i was looking for.Yes without question, I have the Koni Raid shocks, set in the middle of their range and expansion joints are much more controlled and less jarring than previously...

This is the same for King. King needed a minimum order before they would put the Grenadier shocks in line for production. Then we all had to wait for that production date before they made them. Took forever it seemed. But they came eventually.I think Fox has dozens (hundreds?) of shock configurations and they run them in batches. I have a 4Runner with +2 long travel suspension. All the outlets said the same story, that the shocks would arrive within a week, but it took more like 6 months for the shocks to arrive.
I think the outfitters are just echoing what Fox told them so I can’t really fault them. I got so frustrated with it that I finally called Fox customer service and they explained that they don’t make unusual configurations year round.
My point is maybe the Grenadier is just custom enough putting it beyond the mainstream production.
But hey, I’m known to be wrong!
Cheers
