Too much for too long

Should be around in time for off-roading this coming fall. Meanwhile, the machine is sitting on very usable suspension

Usable suspension or not, it doesn't take away the fact that they put them out there people gave them thousands of dollars per set and they have not delivered over 6 months past the orginal release date.

I was going to say this but I didn't want to induce more pain... What were the details of the purchase? Was there a ship date specified on the order or just an estimate?

Orginal shipping dates were end of December 2025/Early January 2026 and Fox has been pushing it back every month since then.

Yeah this delay is pretty much at the end of where I can hold out. My K03s will need replacing soon and I'd like to wait for the setup to go with 35s at the same time.

Gotcha, Have they made any offres of compensation for the long wait?

Well you have to keep in mind the people who put money down knew that the shocks were not ready to come out quite yet. They were under the impression of being much shorter timeline.
I hit up one of their many many year sales and installation off-road establishments in Phoenix a year ago. I talked to them about it and they told me at that time to wait about a year. I'm definitely going to buy a set but I'm going to wait until you can just hit the buy now button

Yea we knew they weren't quite ready and thats fine, but according to Fox's dates it was only supposed to be a short wait so that was fine. Now after 7 months (so far) behind their orginal shipping dates, you can't tell me they didn't know they wouldn't be ready and they should have never released them when they did.

Fox was just trying to grab money from customers and get them to buy and commit to them before other competitors released kits and people bought those kits instead.

The entire aftermarket for these trucks is hosed. Fox can't make suspension, if you want a fuel tank it has to come over on a boat from Australia no matter what brand you get and the wait is months. Most toppers are made in China garbage. This has been the most frustrating truck for me to get how I want because the aftermarket is so lacking, and I have had a lot of trucks.

It's not like it's brand new. It's three years old now and scheduled for a refresh in 2027. Depending how much they change everything could start over again.

Your examples are the only two problem children, everything else is readily available. The truck has been out in the US for just a hair over 2 years - deliveries started in something like Mar or Apr of 2024.

There are plenty of non-chinesium toppers available...AluCab (South Africa), Smartcap (SA or TX), Narwhal, you name it. Goose Gear has a rear seat delete, AAL makes all kinds of accessories, etc. There are plenty of suspension options short of a full 3.2 replacement. Your point about the LR fuel tank is valid. There just aren't a ton of these trucks on the road yet; it's probably not worth it for LR America or whoever to make an in-house tank. I'll say the loss of ground clearance with the current LR fuel tank offering makes me cringe a bit.
