fox float 3 shocks

[Tracker]

how much pressure are you running them at?

 

[ezra]

for what? and what sled ?
skid or ski hard aggressive 2 foot rollers or limo smooth laid back cruising of boondocking?

I know I change at least a hand full of times a season depending on where I am taking the M

no need to go by riding style or conditions...what pressure you running...if running 2 pressures list those pls. guessing hills 70 and cruising 90. the stock coil over is standard is at 110 and floats go to 150 and I run maybe 90 on the stock coil over so I want to run 125 on floats but am hearing that's too much but I don't like any dip at high speeds in turns under breaking so like it high pressure in all conditions for speed and agility. so just getting a feeling for others settings. weight of rider doesn't matter much anymore due to progression rate increase...see the chart

Riding style, rider weight and what sled all matters on how to tune a float shock. I have floats in my High country and I for the little but if trails I ride and to off trail.

70 not for me I like em sloppy always have 55 to 60 in the deep 80 to 95 in the rear
if on a trail and I don't pump up I will find bottom pretty reg

Not sure about the 3's. I have older style. For trail riding absolute max 70 front 120 rear. Anything more its like riding a 2x4. Off trail 55 front, around 100 rear. Rider weight, style and conditions do make a difference. Initial sag-in will make a difference on that progressive rate. Have to play with it to find what you like.

that might by why its like a 2x4...not good having fronts way lower than rear. better to have them equal or slightly tilting sled forward as this will cause push and lift. I ride with several high countries also and those guys have had to add air to over 70 but have not answered me yet for exact numbers. but I do know that one of em had it low air in front and he turned sharp while braking hard and it dipped on the front and he rolled it on its side and bailed. then with a lot in back was kick which shot nose towards endo's on jumps and whatnot. but thanks for the specs it all helps...Ac600sp you didn't give me numbers man....I need numbers to crunch....LOL

I run the Fox Float 2's I have about 90-95psi - I like it stiffer, so it sticks in the corners without very much roll. Of course geared up I'm probably 260lbs myself.

I see...ezra, snoluver and you all about the same...excellent info guys....I will try 100 all around and the long arm of the spring on high and down on front rails sounds like it will produce no roll with slightly leaned body to the front. I usually carry about 40 pounds of food and drinks and ride stuff either in a map bag picnic basket or backpack and now I gotta add saddlebags. i'll let ya know what works well as I am going riding. mashed potatoes is gonna skew the results a little but we shall see. chip wont be broken in yet or belt and other stuff so a good WOT run wont happen yet. thanks guys. keep em coming others.
