trickedcarbine Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Looks killer! What are they eye to eye with 50psi? Quote
dave5.0 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Finally got her back on 4 wheels. I'm really happy with the Laegers quality and fitment. No troubles at all. And the Fox Float-R's have it setting spot on right out of the box with the 50 PSI charge they came with. What did those shocks run ya? Thinkin I might need some new fronts for my stock length lonestars. Then maybe a rear. Last Iooked they were like 6-700? Quote
SpecialEd 05 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Posted March 22, 2013 As it sits, 15-3/4" with a little more stuff to bolt on and a tank of gas to add should see it drop a bit more. They cost me $751 plus shipping from Alba set up for my weight/style. I think later down the track I will get a Podium for the rear. Quote

SAVAGE420 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Flip the shocks around you Jabroni. Quote
SpecialEd 05 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Posted March 25, 2013 At max length the shocks are 17". Flip the shocks around you Jabroni. They're Float-R's not Evols, that's the way they're supposed to go. Going by pictures I've seen and the "150 PSI MAX" sticker on the air sleeve would be upside down. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Pretty sure you need to flip them.. Quote
SpecialEd 05 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Posted March 25, 2013 Ya think so? I agree with those X's that they mount to have the resi to the top but everywhere I've seen the R's have the air sleeve at the top. Even the Fox website shows them that way (not mounted to anything) suggesting to me that's how they should be orientated. If you look at the pic, the max pressure label is placed right way up for air sleeve up and even the older model non resi Floats had etched logo's on the caps the same way. To me they just wouldn't look right the other way unless they have resi's. http://www.ridefox.com/product.php?m=atv&t=shocks&p=1144 Even on sleds...

SAVAGE420 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 That much closer to the rocks, sticks ect. Not saying they're the wrong way really, but that much safer being exposed like that is all. Wont notice or ride any different anyway you have them up or down. Carry on.... Quote

I would be concerned about the rebound clicker being down there though. As from reading the manual the air sleeve is more important than the aluminum impact body as that's where the air seal occurs. It says that "small dings in the impact body over time are normal and nothing to be concerned about." A buddy of mine bought a used Banshee and couldn't work out why it handled so bad and made a clunking noise in the front end. When I had a look at it the stock front shocks had been installed upside down. Quote
