That's what I was thinking but wanted to make sure, thanks!

Yup for setting sag. Also don't be suprised if the fall off. I installed mine brand new out the box last June after the season so it's been sitting covered in my garage. 2 of them already fell off. Dry rot I suspect.
Listened to this the other day. May be helpful for those trying to decide.
Are the weights published by Fox? I can't find this info anywhere. I planned on going with air shocks mainly for the weight savings, but if they aren't any lighter, I'll stick with coils.
I think he might be asking about the coil vs air in regards to the fox shocks. I have been trying to find that information as well but no one seems to have it.
Interesting…is this something you have witnessed yourself or is this something you’ve heard?
is the iqs worth it on a non boost application? I'm running a pro 850 thinking about converting to khaos fox coils or floats but curious on the iqs. or if the options to lockout on the fly really only is a big benefit in a boost?
if you buy iqs and end up breaking 1 shock. is it replaceable? or do you have to buy the complete kit again?

IMO proper suspension is the most important mod one can do. A close second is clutching.
IQS is very cool, but comes at a serious premium in cost. Installation takes hours instead of minutes, and of course anytime there's electrical involved you have more parts that can fail. I have two different friends who struggled with wiring harness problems.
Yes, you can replace or rebuild one shock but takes longer with specialty stuff like IQS.
I run the Floats and love them. Have run the coils as well and they are great. Just depends on what you're trying to do. Air is my preference.

i'm kinda curious if anyone has upgraded a pro rmk to pro rmk fox floats and their input. or just go for a full khaos conversion. I'm rocking a pro and like it a lot but honestly never ridden a khaos. It would be fun to get the ski's up a bit more at times, but i deff like how well my sled floats up and out of the snow and holds lines. i wonder if qs3 pro rmk floats would make it more playful.
I rode one briefly and it felt pretty similar - just more buttery.
Get the Khaos - if its too much, increase the pressure in the RTS and add the Pro limiter strap

I'm a Khoas guy. Never rode a pro actually but I imagine the results are similar. When you go from the stock shocks to the Fox Float QS3 everything is better. Buttery smooth and confidence inspiring is the best way I can describe it. Never bottom out. So good in fact, I've probably doomed myself to never be able to ride anything else. They are that good. Besides the significant improvment in ride quality and confidence inspiring handling the adjustability is amazing and simple. My talent level improved by a factor of 10 simply with the upgraded suspension. Lol!
Get full khaos and fox. Love the lock out mode. Playfull to planted.
I remember seeing in a video him saying the floats were lighter. deff curious on which package overall is lighter. I would think the floats.
Looks like the floats are the lightest.
Last couple sleds I've bought a Khaos, and shorten my limiter to pro length. Figure it's good for resale but I'm not a wheelie everywhere kind of guy so the stock Khaos configuration isn't for me.
Fox floats and a pro length (1/2" shorter) hole in the limiter is my scene and love it. Started there after having a phone conversation with Chris when I bought the Fox setup from BBA.
He also said in a video last year that the floats are 4# lighter than the stock shocks. And lightest of the fox offering. I didn't weigh them but they are definitely lighter and feel so much better.
