Fox vs kings

Do you have remote reservoirs? Fox recommends starting on position 3, but when I asked Accutune, they said to run them wide open with their tune. Mine are nice and plush, and I can run gravel roads at a good clip. I have the sway bar installed and a little additional weight on the front, maybe 50 pounds over stock, and I did NOT adjust the preload. If you added more preload than they come with, that could be part of your problem. If you have damping adjustments, open them all the way up.

 

Yes I have external reservoirs but I don’t have adjusters on them. I was told you adjust the preload to the lift. They even give you measurements to not exceed when adjusting your preload to the height you desire

 

How are your cv angles? My top hat to center bolt is 20.5. My Cv fins are not touching

 

Well, you can adjust the preload, but that changes things -- it's a tradeoff. You shouldn't have to add preload for the nominal amount of lift. If you are carrying a lot of additional weight, you can add some preload to compensate and get it back to the nominal lift height without affecting the ride much.

With stock weight, adding more preload to get more lift will make the front ride a bit harsher. While they give you a range to stay in, that's more to ensure you don't top out the shock. The shock tune they use is for whatever weight you've given them, the spring rate, and standard amount of preload.

 

Have you checked your coil Installed length real easy to check!?

 

I have not. Would I remove the shock and get all pressure of the spring before measuring?

 

No. Just lift truck let the suspension droop and measure your spring. Weight will be off truck. Then you can look and see what fox recommends for installed length of the spring

 

Hey J.K ,

I am sorry to hear about the ride quality issues you are experiencing, and we are here to help with solving those issues in a scientific and effective manor. We know you have been riding this way for awhile so we want to make the changes worth the while.

Could you private message me, so we can start collecting some measurements and feedback on the tune/setup?

OP status update?

 

I purchased kings with adjusters from accutune and couldn’t be happier. The ride is phenomenal compared to whatever was going on with my foxs. Thank you everyone!! And thank you accutune

 

Hell yeah glad you’re stoked. @AccuTune Offroad is legit. My Kings are awesome to say the least

 

Love it, thanks guys!
