FOX 3.0 Shocks Is there a break in period? These shocks are too tight!

For these first 600 miles I've been super bummed on the suspension of my 2017 raptor. On the road, I feel every bump, the shocks feel like my father in laws 2500 HD Diesel. Off the road my old crappy Tahoe with 200,000 miles on the odometer has a better ride. There is even a tame dirt road by my house with a few wash board sections that my mini-van does better on.

Is it possible I got a bad batch or is there a break in period on FOX 3.0 Internal Bypass Shocks? If so how long do they take to break in?

I dropped my tire pressure from 43-38 and it seems fine. Rides good.

Exactly what happened when I got mine new. From the "factory" the tires were 47 psi cold, and I thought it rode rough.

Dropped them down to 38 front, 37 rear cold and so much better in every aspect!
