Shock pressure makes a big difference as well. When I first installed my DSC's I was at 180PSI. They felt great on road off-road very soft even when I increase stiffness.

Went to 200PSI and it was night and day... still a great ride however off-road they were not soft at all and felt great on 2' whoops. Going to 220PSI this weekend and I will see how it feels with our Destination Mint 400 next month :)

As for settings, like @RDFTS I keep them fully open on the street. Off-Road I go 7 clicks in on high speed (blue) and leave slow speed open.

How do you increase or decrease the PSI ?

You need to find the air valve and add Nitrogen to increase the pressure or remove some. They sell little cans of Nitrogen that you can use

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Ordered the Fox 3.0 adjustable all the way around. Should have them on by the end of next week hopefully.

I have the Fox 3.0 w/DSC in the front and ICON RXT in the rear. Haven't really done any serious off-roading yet except for Snoball. But going to Baja next month with this new setup (had ICON 3.0's in the front).

Speaking with Corey at RPG, open them up completely when street driving, so the softest setting. It was the same with ICON's, ran street on the S setting or 1 or 2.

When off-roading, you most likely will want to stiffen them up some so you do not bottom out. As with ICON's, I will be with Fox in the middle or just one turn stiffer than in the middle. ICON I would run at 5 up to 7 depending on the terrain. I kinda wanted to test my truck at TRR since I have ran that over the last 4 years and know how my truck responds to that track but it was hard to pass up going to Baja again so we will see.

How did the Icons feel in the rear with the Fox 3.0's up front? Currently have the fox's in the front and trying to figure out what to do in the back.

I am still a bit confused on those two dials. So let me say it this way, to conquer potholes, which dial should I focus on?

Hitting a Pot Hole would induce a very sharp (High Speed) wheel movement.

Think of Low speed as a slow compression like body roll, or a smooth G-Out

Thanks. All open now. Guess I will try close HS from one click up, leave LS open.

I have tried many different settings, I do not run a sway bay, so I am 2 in on Low Speed to help with body roll, and I think I am 2 or 3 on High Speed
You also need to get a happy spot starting with tire pressure. I find that is one of the best places to get the right ride, and still have the bump and roll control in the shock

After using these for awhile:

Off-road:
I run High Speed (blue dial) 5 clicks open from fully closed.

Low speed (gold dial) I run one full turn from fully closed

On-Road:
Open both fully

I have removed my swaybar but I do have Fox 2.0 bump stop shocks up front which helps with the body roll and bigger hits.

So you are turning your clickers all the way in (right turn) then backing them out 5 clicks??
Holy shit that would be stiff AF in my truck.
Open mine all the way (left turn on dial) and then run in 2-5 clicks depending on situation.
What valving or shim stack are you running that you are only running the clicker out 1 turn from full compression on the Low Speed damping?
