FOA shocks?

[4WheelUnderground]

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that Radflo or the others recommend those numbers, just that's their max. Most of the time, Fox and Radflo recommend 200 while King and FOA 150.

Ahhh, Thanks for the clarification.

, but he had the end caps on the shock reservois blow off during the race. We only used 200psi.

FOA site they recommend 120 - 180 PSI for they remote res coilovers ..

From what Chris as told me, 180 is not the max its the recommended, just like fox and radflo recommend 200.

Like I was saying earlier, I hope that the situations was isolated and not the norm. Im hoping it was just that they had been assembled wrong by my racer or something and not the typical for FOA.

Still waiting on the shocks so no input yet. I did ask about the bent shims in the valve stack issue and was told it had been straightened out. Was also told that King shims are the same and will work in FOA shocks.

They share the same I.D. and O.D.

Called foa to see when I could expect the shocks to ship and was told theyll be in the mail within a week. Hopefully I get a surprise delivery sooner than later.

I have about 1000 miles on my 12" travel 2" body foa's and really like them. The only thing I want to change is to add more nitrogen as I feel that 120 psi is a bit too soft. So far no other complaints. Good luck with your builds!

Hah, called 2 1/2 weeks after they said they would be in the mail within a week and was told they were going out end of this week..... again. I guess 1 week = 3 1/2 weeks to some people. I dont get why some vendors feel the need to string customers along, if its gonna be a month then just tell me instead of bsing. Fingers crossed.

Ardent, glad youre happy with the shocks. I got the 2.5's and am planning to try 200 psi then dropping it little by little to hopefully find the sweet spot.

Yeah that's what I should have done. Now I have to take them off to charge them again since you can't do it while they're on the truck.

I have charged them while they are on the truck.
