Fox Evol Shock Spacers

[07M1000]

I have a 2012 HCR and I want to put the BDX 38" front end on it and I want to utilize my existing shocks. I have been reading about people putting some sort of spacer in the shock to shorten the length. My question is this something that I can do on my own, do I need special tools for this, is this a simple task?

The spacers go inside the shock. You have to completely disassemble the internals to install it. Requires a shaft holding tool, special wrench to unscrew the seal head from the shock body, and the nitrogen recharging setup.

I think installing a spacer inside the hcr shocks will allow you to run a 40" front end but they are still too long to run a 38". Someone will need to chime in and confirm this.

Sounds like you need a 1 inch spacer. The cat kit comes w/ a 3/4" spacer and that one might not work. These guys will install the 1 inch.

Carver Performane, number is 888-349-7469. Sounds like they had really quick turnaround.

Here a couple more post that you probably have already read.

I got my shocks shortened for a 40" front end. I sent them to Nextech in Edmonton, AB Canada. It was 200 bucks i believe if i remember... Yes you need some special tools i have heard, but i am sure there are some rednecks out there that can get them apart with there bare hands!!! LOL

You need special tools. Sent mine to Andy at GSA in Rigby ID, he revalved them and added the spacers for less than $80. If you prefer he can shorten them vs add the spacer. He does great work.
