Devilman did you the shocks from Fox or Ski Doo? Did you buy them from the dealer or direct from Fox?

Good to hear. I’m in the same boat. Have the stiffer spring from Fox now and was told by Fox the shocks didn’t need to be re valved. My shocks came from Fox new in 2017. I’m hesitant to put them on my sled again though do to that weird top out which I too experienced from day one, doesn’t seem right
Pembyjon im getting mine back from Tom tomorrow or monday. He’s stoked about the valve setup he has on these. The one adjustment on his is slightly stiffer than the 3 stock which sounds great. Should give me a way better range of adjustment. I couldn’t tell the dif from 1-3 stock and 3 was to soft. I forgot to ask Tom about the topping out clunk. Hopefully he will chime in on that.

Stoked to hear what you think, sounds way more functional. I’m in BC but thinking I ought to send them down to Tom.
I bought them through WPS. If they were tested, then the people who were testing them need to get a new job.
They were not only sprung stupid soft (I could tell my just looking at the small wire diameter and huge number of coils), they clunked when lifting the front end. Over bumps or dropping off something, every time they extended they made a clunk that you could feel in the bars. I have a buddy who bought the same shocks and said the SAME thing. Softer than stock X shocks and clunked.
One ride and they were sold. (QS3 springers.)
After so many years of bad shocks, I tried again this year with front Float 3 Evol QS3-R and rear 1.5 Zero Pro QS3-R and QS3 shocks, ordered through Skidoo. I hate to admit after so many crappy Fox shocks over the years, but they are good. Much better than my Freeride shocks. So evidently Doo knows how to valve shocks.........
Those were through WPS, so Fox. (See previous post.)
I also bought a set of the cheapest Foxes for my 14 Doo when I had it, through Doo, and was happy with them. Glad to have it affirmed that Doo does their own setup when purchased through them, I had a feeling but nobody could affirm it for me until now.
