What does 'custom valving' mean for this shock?

Custom valving means the shock absorber's internal settings are specifically tuned to match your vehicle's weight, intended use, and desired suspension feel. This allows for more precise control over damping forces compared to a standard, off-the-shelf valving.

Can this shock be rebuilt or serviced?

Yes, this FOX coil-over shock is designed to be rebuildable and serviceable. This means you can replace seals, oil, and other components to maintain its performance over its lifespan.

What is the benefit of a 3.0-inch diameter shock body?

A larger 3.0-inch body allows for more oil volume and a larger piston. This helps dissipate heat more effectively during heavy use, leading to more consistent damping performance and preventing shock fade on long or rough terrain.
