Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup starts with choosing the correct spring rate for your body weight and frame leverage ratio. Once the spring is installed, use the detented preload collar to set your sag accurately.
Compatibility Note: Ensure you are using the correct mount configuration for your frame, as Fox offers standard and Trunnion variations for this model. The shock body features a full-diameter spring retainer, which is compatible with standard coil springs of the appropriate inner diameter.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly clean the shock shaft with a soft cloth to prevent seal abrasion.
- Periodically inspect the scuff guard and replace if heavily worn.
- Perform a full damper service according to the official Fox service intervals to maintain peak performance and oil integrity.
