Fox Float X2 and DHX2 SSD Modification
2016-17 models with build code starting with CXXX
only
2018-22 models with build code starting with DXXX discontinued
We highly recommend our tuning and mods for the Fox VanRC/BomberCr as a better option than the DHX2.
Call us for an air shock alternate that can be tuned better option than the Float X2.
The Fox Float X, DHX, DPS, DPX2 and the Rockshox Super Deluxe/Ultimate are very good alternates
Do you find yourself turning the compression adjusters most of the way out
to prevent the harsh feeling and then adding extra volume spacers to prevent
bottoming.
Essentially you are running your shock as a progressive spring with partial
rebound control!
Adds our midvalve style specific piston which replaces the stock push/pull
piston with shimmed rebound and midvalve style compression
valved system to match your frame and leverage.
Keep in mind the stock design of the shock creates all the rebound damping
with a low speed bleed adjustment and an adjustable preload blow-off poppet
valve(high speed adjuster).
Compression damping is also created with the external adjusters and is limited
by the base threshold tune, at this threshold point it blows off when higher
shaft speeds occur or
allows damping oil to pass by to prevent damage to the shock or shaft.
With the midvalve style shimmed piston the biggest improvement is in midstroke
support, much better than the harshness created by the high speed adjuster,
low to mid speed is much firmer for pedaling while still feeling plush on
small bumps,
essentially eliminates the need for the climb switch, who really wants to
stop and flip the lever every 5 minutes!
For shocks that have the climb switch the function will still be retained
but with a more efficient compliant feel.
For performance series shocks the high speed adjustment can be preset to
the required position.
Or we could also purchase the high/low adjusters from Fox to replace the standard
ones ($95 each)
and then you could make high speed adjustments to the shock after we perform
the mods.
Cost $249
Which includes a complete damper rebuild, our custom valved piston with shimmed
rebound, tuned midvalving and high speed shims to match the frame leverage,
optional new hard coated IFP with bleed screw to replace the plastic stock
IFP and our recommended volume spacer arrangement for the leverage of the
frame.
Includes New Interactive Set-Up Chart
Example
Performance series includes internal preset high speed mods, it is not converted to external high speed adjustment.

bushings, and o-rings)

Fox Improved Internal Floating Piston(IFP) |
Highly Recommended Option. Replaces stock one which is made of plastic, with aluminum hard coated with rebuild bleed screw. This replacement IFP has been redesigned with a wider land and tighter tolerances and prevents ifp tipping. It is also hard coat anodized to prevent wearing out. It allows us and future service shops to bleed the shock
properly without the use of a $2500 vacuum bleed system, this will
give you more options when searching for service centers. We may suggest you replace the stock IFP when we inspect
your internals or Add option here Price $29.95 Available Now

Stock 2019 Fox X2 on left.
Fox X2 Improved Shape Factor Bumper System |
Highly Recommended Option. Replaces stock linear bumper(2019) with a progressive shape factor adjustable ramp up bumper system. The stock design is allowed to bulge outward basically producing a few pounds of bottoming resistance. The improved shape factor bumper is tapered on the inside and is forced to compress into the contained space of the seal head preventing the bumper from bulging freely outward creating what is called a shape factor bumper. This produces gradual ramp up in bottoming resistance and is adjustable with the supplied o-rings to the desired ramp-up from 50-150 lbs. Keep in mind these o-rings are used to reduce the space and never actually bottomed against metal to metal as in the 2016-18 designed X2. The repeated bottoming caused the original design to smash and split the o-ring. It can be installed by us with our tuning modification or
sent separately for the bumper install only. Add option here Price $39.95 Available Now

Fox Float X2 and DHX2 Evol and Performance Series Shocks SSD and
HSB Modifications Shock must be sent in to receive modifications. 2016-17 models with build code starting with CXXX only We do recommend converting air to coil with the FoxVanRC/BomberCR shock for many new frames with more progressive linkages.

Air can and air sleeve |
Air Can
Rebuild Kit Air can and air sleeve After 50 hrs of riding the air can seals and
air sleeve piston seals need replacing and if not replaced periodically We may suggest you replace the stock seals when we inspect
your internals or Shocks newer than 50 hours need only be cleaned and reassembled typically. It should be noted that the negative air seal head can only be rebuilt with the damper shaft removed. Add option here Price $29.95 includes parts and labor
