shock valving

[Bigbike]

I bought Andrews fox 2.0s and I want to rebuild and re valve them while they are out. What valving should I run, and what do I need to do to rebuild them?

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

It's walving.

Only at the comfort inn. Do you plan to go fast or crawling? Will can chime in about what you need but knowing what you will be doing can determine what you need

What valving should I run

what purpose?
what springs?
how much travel do you have? (actual travel, not just the shock number)

im not a guru but i have a good idea with XJs what you need to shoot for for a desired result

normally theres such little travel that at the end of the day it isnt make or break no matter what you do, but i have improved mine quite a bit.

they sell a rebuild kit that will do you good (seals and such) and u need fluid

i wouldnt hesitate for a second to go heavy compression and lighter rebound

i run 65/40 right now. i forget what andrew had before but i wanna say it was maybe 20/90 or something, whatever it was already...or maybe he didnt know. i forget, lol.

i like what i have, i used to have 20/90 before i revalved..going to 65/40 improved just about everything about the jeep on and offroad, although not by a massive margin. My airbumps make up for a lot of my valving a few inches past ride height.

i was told the heavy compression would beat me up at slow speeds but that was web wheelin. it worked out well. i wouldnt hesitate to go heavier, 70/30 or so

hrmm ill try that then.

Will also runs a heavier a rate spring.

The Clayton 4.5's have a softer spring rate, so what will said is a great place to start.

that being said 65/40 may feel alittle softer on your jeep than it does on will's. So you may decide you want something a little more stiffer, the only real way to do it though is to start somewhere and make changes accordingly.

from what i've heard and read, the only time low compression/high rebound valving is used is for desert beasting setups.

low compression high rebound being the 20/90? ill try the 70/30 then.
