I've been running Fox air shocks for 6 years with zero problems. I usually set the air pressure at the beginning of the season and don't touch them. I'd say the plain Evols are good unless you like to tinker. I have the QSR's with lock out on one sled and just the Evols on the other. I don't screw with the rebound ever. 60/120 in the front. 45 in the front rear shock and 140/220 in the very back. Tom's Snowmobile is where you want to get them. I've never got them from a Ski Doo dealer but I have seen enough complaining on here that Tom's is probably the way to go. Tom is a very knowledgeable guy and if you can catch him at the right time he loves to talk suspension. I have no affiliation with them except I have bought 4 kits from him and have had nothing but good luck.

I have fox QS3 1.5 Coil overs on all 4. 18 sp 850 165 3 inch. It rides like ****. Really rough bottoming out. I need to send in to get revalved. I rode my friends Raptor and it was noticeably smoother.

Are these the shocks from the Ski Doo accessory catalog or from another source?

I have same shocks on a 175 and I'm about 300 with gear. Smooth as can be, they just firm up when bottoming. Mine were valved and sprung by Toms.
