[QUOTE="BenBB, post: 1275096, member: 20185"] I'm no expert by any means, just trying to help and learn myself. I have experience with desert racing quads, apples and oranges though (back in the day I had a Works shock sponsorship and the hot ticket was triple-rate springs and finned reservoirs heh). There's a ton of resources here and online though: [URL="http://accutuneoffroad.com/articles/shock-tuning-101/"]Accutune[/URL] has a good overview. [URL="http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/fox-3-0-rear-bypass-settings-34592/"]Great thread on here[/URL] about initial setup. [URL="http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f191/fox-3-0-shock-settings-maintenance-16004/"]Another good read[/URL] on settings and maintenance. [URL="https://www.race-dezert.com/forum/threads/by-pass-shock-tuning.49110/"]Race Dezert thread[/URL] with some good links. Anyway you SHOULD be able to adjust them to your liking, or at least a big improvement, if you take the time to do it. You've got some damn nice hardware right there, and with a fresh rebuild and refinish (no offense but they are pretty ugly right now haha!) I'm sure you can get them working like you want them to. Bear in mind everything is a compromise, and you really need them rebuilt so you have a baseline to begin from, but the perfect setup blasting through a whoop section will likely be less than ideal on the freeway. The best thing about those 3.0's is that once you find the settings that work for certain areas/terrain and write it down, you can quickly go back and forth, and once you get a feel for what does what you can adjust to new trails as needed. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
