Thanks for the vid. I’ve been playing with my kings with Fox for the first time, without really knowing wth I’m doing. Gotta better understanding on what’s happening now. Cool beans man.

Nice. I was overwhelmed in the beginning with all the combo's but after a few different trips with a few different loads I started to get it dialed. I'll do long scenic overland trips with lots of gear on wash board roads (usually lots of hwy miles) to lots of local short wheeling trips with more Rocks/Holes/Sand with no gear. The options work well for me. Accutune/FOX Rules! Super Stoked on my ReTune!

Thanks Jeff!!

This was a great video. I love the DSC adjusters because when I load a couple hundred pounds of tools for work I just crank em up a little and it keeps it stable.

Just bought a set of 2.5 elites for my JK fron you guys. Was very torn between these and the Kings, but the adjustment spectrum was a key purchasing factor.

exactly what i was looking for. thanks.

Great job explaining! Thank you 😁

By turning the adjuster in the direction indicated by the arrow with the plus sign, are you closing down the flow? I understand that closing down the flow will allow the shock to absorb a harder impact. Am I thinking correctly?

Great question. Righty tighty rule will apply to this question. So turning it right (+) will increase the compression making it more firm. For the High Speed, you are actually adding preload to the shims/valving inside the adjuster. Firming it up, will keep the shock from bottoming out as easily.

I have a problem with ride stiffness when I remove my spare tire on Fox 2.0 and 40” Nitto trail grapplers. Would the softest setting on the 2.5 help with that issue? Jeep JL.

Not necessarily. This is likely due to the rear of the Jeep now being over sprung for the new weight without tire. I would suggest keeping the 40" spare on vs swapping shocks.

Since there are two knobs, one for high speed and one for low speed, is one of them for fine tuning, or can you adjust the low speed all the way left for a soft road ride, and then still adjust the high speed all the way right for a firm quick reaction to the off road bumps?

Feel free to adjust them however you please.

Great video answered all my questions… if only there was a shock that also had adjustable rebound without being a full bypass…

@@RealGumbyOfficial people have them and like them. Australian brand but it’s all made in China hence why they’re undercutting fox and king price point. They’re also 50mm wide so that’s closer to a 2” reservoir than 2.5”. So definitely not quite as good if youre running them on a LT truck desert racing. But if you’re doing slower speed things probably is fine. They’re not tunable either. Essentially the adjusters are you tuning them. But no ability for a place like accutune to dial things in even better. At least I haven’t seen anywhere that will tune those shocks. Just will rebuild to factory. Still a solid option and the only one with a rebound adjuster currently

@@alexs825 good info and I agree- I don’t think they’re a replacement for a custom tuned shock from someone like accutune

When you say add compression, do you mean rotating the knobs clockwise and that makes it stiffer?

Yes thats correct. There is a + and - on the knob to help with that as well.

Good info. Thanks!

Any info on running tripple or quad bypasses on a jeep with a seperate coil spring? Currently have 6" uptravel with 11.8" shocks but i am interested in puttle bypasses on.

Hi Ryan, Do you think Fox DSC can provide more comfort on road vs a famous suspension manufacturer with only medium speed adjuster assuming both have "Adventure tune" on them. (If its vehicle specific for a 5th gen 4Runner)

@accutuneoffroad

Жыл бұрын

The DSC offers a wider range of adjustability than other shocks with a single/medium speed adjuster. We tune Fox/King differently if they have adjusters or not. They wont be the same. The comfort you would get out of a shock comes from the internal valving mainly. Adjusters allow you to firm up from there. If more adjustability = better, then yes Fox DSC are a good choice.

Hi Ryan, Can I know on what formulae and equations will you design digressive, linear and progressive piston? If you have any excel sheet or formulae sheet can you please share.

So when you say you have them open you mean dialed all the way to the (-) side, which allows fast rebound? So if I want to set up mu gladiator to run 25ish mph off road on the desert floor I want the low speed valve open meaning only like 3 or 4 clicks from the lowest (-) setting or do I have it backwards

@accutuneoffroad

DSC Adjusters do not control rebound, only compression. In general you would want firmer compression for higher speed off-road driving to handle large impacts better. Low Speed Compression would be large bumps, g-outs etc.

I have the DSCs tuned from you guys for my FJ. I have the Low Speed turned in all the way and it feels solid on the road and off road. I am having trouble adjusting the High Speed, I am not sure if I should leave them open and have a floaty feel or fully close it and have a stiffer more controles ride, any guidance finding the right setting would be appreciated. And I set my Tire Pressure to 30psi street on 33s if that matters. Also, is it normal for the Low to be fully closed to be in the most comfortable ride?

@accutuneoffroad

The settings will be a personal preference thing, there is no right or wrong setting really. We recommend starting with them all the way open, then adding compression as needed.

@@accutuneoffroad At what point would I know if I need more compression or a revalve? The reason I ask is because I had Swayaway coilovers that performed amazing all around but switched to DSCs to get the reservoir as the Swayaways would fade after a awhile in Ocotillo Wells yet the Foxs don’t feel as well rounded and Lowering compression only makes it feel sloppy and no control on motion. BTW I ran both with no front sway bar and the Springs were the same spring rate. Maybe I’m asking a too detailed question on here but I am just trying to get the most out of these Fox DSCs before I give up and go SDI E-Click.

External Bypass Shocks have compression tubes and rebound tubes only, not like these compression adjusters.

Really awesome video. Can I ask how you would compare the fox DSC to the king compression adjuster? The price point is very close and I know the king is a true 2.5” piston for the IBP compared to the 2.25” piston on the fox IBP.

The adjusters are very different. Fox has high and low speed adjusters while King has a mid speed adjuster. We actually have more detail on the two in a few different tech articles. accutuneoffroad.com/should-i-get-dsc-adjusters-on-my-fox-shocks/ and accutuneoffroad.com/articles/how-king-compression-adjusters-work/

Its best to start with adjusters all the way open and firm up from there. If thats still not enough, the shocks may need to be revalved.
