Fox float adjustment

[arctic cat 4 life]

how do you adjust fox float shocks for the correct ride weight? The fastest and easiest way. If you could hurry that would help alot because im goin ridin this weekend. Any input will help. thank you

If your going to ride trail I set my front shocks @ 115 psi , the front spring shock in the rear skid I tighten it up all the way and the float in the rear skid @ 100 psi if you start bottoming out hitting big bumps put more air in it . When I get off the trail and boondock I take air out of the front shock bring them down to 75 psi . I weight 200 lbs but even when I wasn't as big as I am now this is what always ran .

hey

I assume you have the fox pump. Make sure to take pressure off the shocks. Check to make sure theres oil in them, i refill mine every 300 miles if I'm riding hard. Play with the pressures and see what works best for you.

Thanks for all the help. I think ill keep em at about 75-80 in the front because im not a fan of loggin roads haha. As for the back I Like mine loose because I love to wheelie .
Thanks for the help

I ran my fronts at 75 with a swaybar (90 now without it) and my rear at 125-130.
The front skid shock will bind and break the retaining collar on the top if you tighten it all the way.
I've broken two of them from it.
Only tightening it 3/4 of the way now, and carrying spare retainer collars with me.
There is a 170 lb rate spring from Cat available to replace the wuss spring.
