Absurd lead time for FOX 2.5 shocks

[Jetiemann]

I’m being told it takes 3ish months to get fox 2.5 shocks from FOX. Has anyone dealt with this or run into this problem? 
 

This is not because of Covid. I was told these are typical lead times.

Took six weeks for me to get my suspension from them a year ago.  Are you going through a dealer or installer?

Who did u order from?

My King 3.0 bypasses took 8 weeks (build to receiving package) -- Given the current state of the world, I'm sure their entire supply chain has been affected; with a reduction in workforce, inflow of build materials taking forever to get shipped in etc..

This was through a dealer. I’ll do the install.

I asked if it was due to everything going on and was advised that it takes this long even when things are rolling along just fine.

Take a look on Custom Offsets website.

A ton of stuff on backorder.

Glad I bought all my stuff for my lift 3 months ago.

I placed an order through liftkits4less on 2/28 for 2.5 king rears with compression adjusters and extended travel (none on the shelf at lk4l or king). They processed the order through to King on 3/2. King shipped on 3/20, i received them 3/23

That seems normal. Getting Kings wasnt the issue. It was the FOX that i was being told normally takes 3 months.

Call around to vendors. Someone is bound to have some on the shelf. But most just send the order to Fox and drop ship

Ended up ordering Kings through a vendor. I'll try do a review/install post when they come in and get installed.

Given a lead time of 2-3 weeks for everything to come in.

FYI if the vendor didn't have them in their warehouse you won't get them for a while. King is shut down at the moment. I got my rears shipped literally the last day they were allowed to operate. Funny enough my order with a hat and some stickers didn't end up making out but I got a tracking number lol

I was told they had a skeleton crew there putting orders together.  Vendor spoke with his sales rep 2 days ago and was given that time frame.

Curious if you've heard anything else. Tried emailing king, no response in 3-4 days. Usually they're very quick.

This is what i heard yesterday:

 

 

So both King and Deaver are open but they are only working few hours a day is from what i'm hearing.

 

I put your order in and both King and Deaver have confirmed the order.

 

They have VERY limited staff working.

 

King has only a few people in the office to answer phone calls and assist with orders. 90% of their staff on no there.

 

Deaver is a small company and they are trying to fulfill orders as well but on limited hours.
