It’s part of the top cap. Makes it easier to thread on / off the top cap

If that's the case, then shame on me and I apologize for bad info. Never seen that design before. I'll have to check out mine next time I service them. I put zero preload into them, my top collar is spun all the way up.

Confirmed, here's the reply from FOX:

"No, the lock ring is for the shock cap and should not be adjusted. The pinch bolt for the preload ring, torque setting for 1/4-28 X 1.50 Socket Head Cap Screw 12 ft lbs"
