RideTech / Fox shocks

[marolf101x]

You know when you need different valving if you are constantly adjusting the shock to the max limits of the knob.
For example, if you go to an autocross and add rebound damping each run, and you get quicker do you get to the point where you went too far and you got slower, or did you reach the end of the adjustment range before you went slower?



If you reached the end, you may need more force. If you didn't you don't need more.

Rob was able to attend a test session James Shipka put together prior to the One Lap Event. We were there with a couple of Fox guys I work very closely with and we were able to make all the cars faster and easier to drive. Rob's deal was that he used long shocks all the way around. We use softer valving on the longer shocks as they are typically used in a rear application. As such, Rob need both an increase in spring rate and an increase in shock force to get reach the potential of the truck. Had he used shorter shocks (with the firmer valve code) he would have likely only required an increase in spring rate.
