Have you fitted the H3 Fox Piggy Back Shocks ?? (if so you must read this)

[Chook]

On my recent trip to the Outback I broke my front LHS Fox Shock. I advised Fox and provided them with photos. (Note: this is the second time I have broke the same shock)

They looked at the photos I sent and this is their finding:

The only problem I noticed (by looking at pictures) is that the bolt-on-bracket, was not installed correctly; or not in-line with the same articulation as how the shock moves. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this… and mainly because it is left to the installer to determine where to correctly install bracket. And without the proper alignment aid (from Fox) this will always be a challenge.

They also contacted Rod Hall Racing for their experience with Hummers to confirm:

They (Rod Hall) verified that they are installing shock in a way that the piggyback tube can articulate within the opening of the bracket showing no restrictions for it to move freely.

Their final advice was:

We strongly advise you look at how bracket is installed and possibly having it re-positioned so that it clears to avoid any future failures.

They are sending me a new shock and some detailed installation instructions that will avoid this happening again. I will share the information they provide so we can all check our fitment.

Make sure you check your bracket holding the Piggy Back in place

Here are some photos they received from Rod Hall Racing fitting a H3.

Great to hear that they are backing their product even with an imperfect installation.
