Note: Subtract .029s from IFP depth for each 1/4 inch spacer added to the shock damper rod for limiting.
For example: If standard (full shock travel) IFP depth is .835s, and 6 spacers are added to reduce shock travel by
1.5 inches, multiply .029 x 6 to calculate the amount to subtract from IFP depth.
Example : .835 -- .174 = .661 (r .025s)NewIFPDepth

Changing oil on Foxt Shocks is recommended annually and should be included when performing end of season
storage preparation. This oil change is necessary to avoid any chance of corrosion which could be caused by moisture
contamination. For competition use, shocks should be disassembled, inspected and serviced more frequently.
When performing maintenance on Fox¥ Shocks, use Gas Shock Recharging Kit (PN 2200421), which has the
necessary valves, pressure gauge, and fittings to deflate and pressurize shocks. The Body Holder Tool, Internal
Floating Piston (IFP), and Shock Rod Holding Tool are not included in the Recharging Kit and must be ordered
separately. Refer to your SPX Tool Catalog for part numbers.

Extreme caution should be observed while handling and working with high pressure service equipment. Wear
a face shield, safety glasses, and ear protection during service of these shocks.
Care should be observed while handling the inflation needle and pressure gauges. Maintain your equipment and
keep it in good condition. If injury should occur, consult a physician immediately.
Extreme cleanliness is of utmost importance during all disassembly and reassembly operations to prevent any
dirt or foreign particles from getting into the shocks.
