Fox Stock Shocks

Happen to know the proper pressure off-hand? Be handy to have in this thread. I do have a guy with a nitro setup. If not, I'll do some searching.

Not wanting to give inaccurate info here so I called Fox directly.

Recommended pressure - front and rear - is 200 psi

Keep in mind that if you go somewhere to have them checked and or filled that you will need a needle valve to do it.

I was told by a pro that if you can grab the bumper and shake the truck and it feels like a boat on water, then they need to be rebuilt. Also if the truck starts to ride weird, or your shocks leak. The mileage varies greatly. Mine are at 37k and still ride great, and it's seen some offroad.

Interesting. Might try that out when I get home.

feel like I'm feeling more minor bumps on the road versus the day I bought it.

No leakage yet.

I just sort of cringe looking at 3.0's. Only a couple grand more and I can get a supercharger lol.

Here's a good explanation - when you go over the approach of a bridge and the grade changes slightly, your front end just keeps going up and down for a while. Just mushy. Our shocks, when working properly, do not allow this to happen.

The mushy feeling is due to the fact that the front weight of the truck is riding mostly on spring rebound, so it will just keep springing up and down for a while.

Hope that helps......
