[QUOTE="Mil T, post: 693661, member: 2727"] I was talking to the Fox tech at the Overland Expo this weekend in Flagstaff and was getting some pointers on adjusting these shocks. The rule of thumb for adjustable shocks is to put them in the middle setting on each of the tubes and then adjust out from their. Work on Compression first then rebound. Adjust to min and max and take it for a drive to understand the feeling and what you are looking for.. knowing exactly what each tube does to the adjustment is helpful also. So the two compression tubes work different sections of the shock. The shorter one will adjust the lower end of travel. The longer one adjusts more of the end travel. The longer one will adjust the entire range of movement also. The rebound you need to adjust on a road that has some dips that you can feel if the back end of the truck acts like a pogo stick or not. If you start out with it in the middle and it pogos, then tighten the rebound up. Each adjustment for any of the tubes should be 1 click at a time. so click it tighter until it stops pogoing. it should go down and back up and not go down any more on landing. If you have it to tight then it will stay down longer in the down travel and slowly come back up. You don't' want it coming up to slow because it needs to recover for the next bump. If it doesn't then that is what they call packing the shock. Same concept as off road motorcycles. it takes time to do adjustments and the right kind of terrain. For street it will not be as critical but I will say that if you get a good ride quality from adjusting in the dirt then your ride on the street will probably be good for you as well. Good luck.
