Need to be way more specific on how it rides, and we can help you from there, also as i mentioned last night about jacking it up and such, my inital thought is that there is way to much air in the shocks, and depending on who had it before you, how did they air them up?

If it was me, not knowing anything about them, i would take them off and remove all of the oil... Measure it as it comes out, put new oil in and start with oem specs, If someone has put to much oil in them, could lead to massive failure on a good hard it, Kinda a insurance thingy is all, but they likely could use fresh oil anyhow....

Here is a thought?  Start from a known base - ie: redo them to a consensus point, and then see which direction it should go?  Kind of like starting over.   Might save some headache along the way.....

Stock oil settings and 200 psi... just as they come factory... Valving is a different story, that can be changed after the spring rate is dialed in...

       What would be stock oil settings? I have yet found any shock info that gave this information.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

     Thanks.  I have looked on line but not have called the hot line. Most time don't have time to set and wait for a tec to answer the phone.  As for the rebuild instructions Fox don't even show what way the inter floating piston goes in there remote reservoir shocks. Found that out for Marks Sand Trans.  Great guy to deal with.

The rear suspension is pretty nice on them, the front is way off... ;D it does not have any KPI so i imagine it pushes like a mo fo, works out the forearms, and the motion ratio and angle of the front shocks sux... ;D
