Fox rear shocks setup

What sled? What track length? What paddle size? Where do you ride? What are you looking for? Are these direct from Fox? What limiter setting?

I can tell you right off the bat I'd go to a stiffer rear torsion bar. Preload does not effect spring rate, just where on the rate the line starts. I know for me there is no way I could get the stock torsion bars to work for my application.

Okay...

1) Keep your limiter where it is
2) Run ~60 psi in your main chamber of your front track shock, 120ish in the evol
3) Preload in the "4" position on the torsion bars
4) Run the QSR in the 1 position for trail, 2 for most mountain riding, 3 for when you really are trying to keep your front end down in an on/off throttle situation (technical trees for instance)

One thing to keep in mind, if you install the FTS deflated and then air it up with your limiter attached, you are getting a false reading being the shock is part way compressed. EG: 60psi in limiter two will read something like 50 psi in limiter 3.

In the end, I'd wager you'll like the package, but you'd love it if you'd go to the heavier torsion bars and then bring the limiter back to position three with less air pressure in the FTS...

My $0.02 (and i've been testing this setup along with a few others a lot!)
