Question Remote Reservoir Fox or Bilstein?

I am ordering a KORE kit this next week and am trying to decide wether or not to get the kit with the remote reservoir Fox shock or the kit with the Bilstein 5100. I do a little off roading, not anything serious, mostly washboard and potholed dirt roads. I also haul loads, and rack up the freeway miles. Can anyone with the Bilsteins or the remote reservoir Fox's chime in and help me with this decision?

You may want to contact Lorenz. He is making a kit that comes with adjustable Fox shocks.

I went with 2.5" remote res shocks. i do not regret it.

Washboards are now taken at 50-60. I could go faster I am sure.

On road, I can tune the nitrogen pressure to the ride I want.

Of course I have Lorenz, not Kore. If you are near, I am sure I could show you the setup. Pics in gallery

Call Sage Carli....great guy to deal with and he knows his stuff. His price is better than KORE's as well.

He offers systems with Fox, King, and although it doesn't list them on his site, he does Bilstiens too.

One Way, the price difference between the 5100 and the 2in Fox is not that much. The Fox's will let you do more offroad bashing longer than the 5100's. If you were mostly highway, I'd say do the 5100's, no need for the extra cost of the Fox shocks.

They both will give great road manners. Tough choice. But overall, I feel the CHASE with Fox shocks is the better deal.
