See....good minded patriots think alikeThats what i torqued mine to.
Mine are pretty tight too.Thanks bud. It sure does. Like you said, I’m gona be happy with that. Just need to get the tension right. You can see in the pic where I have it set now. View attachment 69556
I’m on the fence, just got my quartly bonus, so I’m getting them late. I was going to get stage 3 Elkas but there at least 2 weeks out. The others I had in mind were the QS3 foxes. Any advice either way?What shocks did you end up going with?
I think @nbomar is running the elka 3s and likes them. The foxes are pretty popular..at this point i have neither lol. But i plan on going with the foxes because of the simplicity and price. I like the fact there are only 3 settings on the fox. I figure its less for me to screw up.I’m on the fence, just got my quartly bonus, so I’m getting them late.

I like the spacers that you told me about and I did that for last summer, made a nice difference. We ride a lot and some of our trails up here in the Great white north lol have some ripply sand and bet the crap out you. That’s why I’m doing it like @trigger did to his after he took a roller coaster ride on the trail by my cabinI think @nbomar is running the elka 3s and likes them.

The spacer do help some...but once you ride with someone that has good shocks you're ruined and got to have em.I like the spacers that you told me about and I did that for last summer, made a nice difference.

You got that right! It’s like driving a Yugo then going to Lincoln, you don’t want to drive the Yugo again! LolThe spacer do help some...but once you ride with someone that has good shocks you're ruined and got to have em.
Agreed. The spacer helped not bottom out but shocks are big difference. I think any aftermarket shocks most will be happy with compared to stock. Love our Fox but they were too soft for setup from the box. Added 3/4 in compression in the spring and very happy. I killed off the lift kit this time around and really like how they work.The spacer do help some...but once you ride with someone that has good shocks you're ruined and got to have em.
By tightening the compression adjustment nut, do they give u a tool for that or is it fairly easy?Agreed. The spacer helped not bottom out but shocks are big difference.

Unfortunately no but it’s not too bad. Tool is cheap but IMO if a vise is handy crank the fronts a little off the rig. You probably won’t have to adjust againBy tightening the compression adjustment nut, do they give u a tool for that or is it fairly easy?

All 4. Bought just fronts at first because I did like the self adjustable rear but literally next day rushed and got rears. No regrets here! Even heavily loaded they work greatIf I do the foxes I’ll have to do that!
Did u do all 4 or just the fronts?
Yup, I remember you buying those rears quickly lolAll 4. Bought just fronts at first because I did like the self adjustable rear but literally next day rushed and got rears. No regrets here! Even heavily loaded they work great
