OK4wd had these Ohlin shocks on one of their Grenadiers at Overland Expo West. They couldn’t yet provide much feedback about them (because they are so new) but do plan to stock them for sale.

Hi, does anyone know if there is anything particularly complicated with installing the fox shocks? I know about cutting into the liner in the front, but otherwise its just a straight up bolt-in application?
No wheel alignment etc needed?
I'm thinking i'm going to do it this weekend myself.

How did the install go thinking of doing this next week?

If the rain stops here, then my plan is to install it today.
Crazy times, rain this late in the year in sf bay area

Ok didn't get to install today. Buddy came over and needed me to wire up his off-road lights on his land Rover. Took a decent chunk of the day so my plan is to install next weekend.

How'd it go?

Still not started. Found it that's the wife had booked painters to paint my house when I was traveling last week. If I'm looking I'll get on it on Sunday, but even that looks doubtful

As expected, my time was booked solid with house repairs today. Oh well, hopefully next weekend.

At this point, you should just send your shocks to one of us

 

[parb]

Yeah, for real.

Okay, so got the shocks installed today.
Took me 7 hours. About 2 hours on the first rear wheel and then 20 minutes on the second. About 2.5 hours on the first front wheel and 1 hour on the second.

Impressions? I think it drives quite a bit better better, much less sway, my tires are firmly planted and the vehicle drives more level on hard corners. I think this is an upgrade that was worth it.

Pro tip. No fender liner needs to come out. You can get to the rear top bolt from underneath the fender liner at the rear bottom area. Makes it easy.

A Dremel with a cutting wheel and the agile templates made it easy.

The front shocks top mounts where 56.5mm thick. The opening is 55.7mm. I had to use my angle grinder and take off just a little bit of metal to install them. Be careful and frequently dip the mount in water to cool it off.

It's easier to do the reservoir last up front. Cut the fender first with a Dremel cutting wheel. Then use a scissor to trim the insulation. Then install the top bolt of the front shock. Then the bottom, I used a jack on the axle to line up the bolt hole.

After this install the reservoir holder to the brake bracket but don't snug it up. Get the reservoir aligned and put on one mount then the second. The tighten up the holder on the brake line mount.

I set the dials on the shock to balanced before I installed them.

And that is it. Not too hard. Quite satisfying in the end...

I highly recommend a strong impact driver, it makes everything quite a bit easier. I have the DeWalt dcf891 which was perfect for this job. Then do final torquing with a torque wrench.

@parb if you can report back on hard / semi-hard braking on asphalt, and let us know if you experience a hard pull to the left, that would be appreciated. Dealer service department tells me that this is common on most stock units, and more noticeable after a lift. I definitely have it and it became very noticeable after the lift (to the point of feeling not safe as it pulls me into the oncoming lane). I'll be following up with both the dealer and Agile in the near future to see if there is any way to resolve.
