- This video is to help people understand the steps in rebuilding a off road shock absorber. This video was filmed using a Fox 2.0" shock absorber. The steps are very similar when working on different sized and other manufactures shocks. But you still refer back to the original manufactures rebuild instructions.

Absolutely perfect how-to video. Thank you very much for sharing....now to get started on my own shocks.
Excellent video! I was just thinking, how tough is it to rebuild, hmmm how about UA-cam? Yep! Knowing what tools are required and seeing it done like that takes some of the "fear of the unknown" away. Well done.
Excellent video, thank you for posting it up.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
It was not a twin clicker, but they are very similar. You bring up good point about the assembly lube. Fox does use some type of grease to assembly the shocks when new, I am not sure of the exact specs. We use a high temp automotive grease when we service shocks. Thanks for pointing that out.
Yes yes, your right! Thanks for the sharp eye.
@MaulTechATV Unless your dealing with extremely stiff compression valving. The air should be forced out from under the compression shims when you install the shaft assembly back into the body. If your worried your not getting all the air out from under the shims you can stroke the piston in the oil by hand a few times. Just make sure you don't pull the piston above the top level of oil once you have done this.
Yes the 2.0 and 2.5" bearing caps are threaded and can be removed with the same tool..a 2" spanner wrench. Which is available for purchase on our website if you can't find one locally.
Awesome! Thanks a lot!
I have a question on putting shocks on a lifted truck I have a 6in lifted f150, would shocks like this work or is there a certain height where shocks don't work anymore and just bottom out I have a pair of SVT fox racing shox and need to get them rebuilt would they work on a 6in lifted truck?please help!
I will have to rebuild a 2.0 Fox shocks and make a new lower eyelets for my vehicle - I am using Chevy Silverado OEM Fox front remote reservoir shocks on Nissan Terrano 2, and the lower bushings are different.
Can you please tell me what threads are used on a 2.0 offroad shocks? I guess on the eyelet side it is 5/8-18 and on the piston side it is 1/2-20. Am I right?
Also, do you thing I can replace the eyelets using electrical hot air gun instead of gas torch?
Thanks.
What oil you use in this shock?
can I change the oil by disconnecting the resevor hose and emptying both th e shock and resevior thru the hose fittings?
How do I set the IFP depth on a 2.5 fox bypass 7/8 x 12' piggyback reservoir?
forgot to bleed the air from under the compression shims! Nice flip flops:)
Do you use high temp red loctite on the shock shaft nut?
It's 3.50" from the opening of the shock body. So fill the body up until you have a distance of 3.5" from the top of the opening of the shock body to the top of the oil.
@alignchopper Your right! dont remove nuts with torque wrench. We're just being lazy, our bad.
Are these shocks good for a 2002 chevy avalanche 4x4 2500hd?
how to calculate how much ifp depth should be on fox dhx rc4 shock?
how did you put oil into the reservoir?
How much oil do you put into a Non Res. 2.0 with 10 inches of travel?
Are the bearing caps threaded? If so is that only 2.0s? or is that on 2.5s too?
i have a kyb snowmobile shock but very similar i cant puch the piston in even without any air in it to get to that snap ring?
Good God, how do these things not leak by only a few days of driving?
can you upload a video of a good fox shock with resovoir vs a bad fox shock with a resovoir please
@Crypto666 Yes the IFP tool is 1/4" threads. You do not need to compress the shock before charging. Just fill with nitrogen and you are done!
1/4"-20 male threads
show an install of the bigger shock on a vehicle.
What kind of oil to use?
What brand shock oil are you using?
@lukemurphy12313 We don't deal with quads or moto shocks. We only sell shocks for offroad trucks and buggies.
location and costs to rebuild that exact shock!
Hi, Can you share the tool kit
Someone was watching Boondock Saints!
I have been schooled as to not use a torque wrench to remove nuts as it effects the calibration of the tool. It is for righty tighty only, not lefty loosie.
how do you torque a left hand threaded fastener then?
35ft/lbs for the "retaining nut" on a 7/8 shaft 2.5 fox shock.
didn't bleed the air out of the piston?
That Luminox says it's about lunch time...............
how the f*** did you get that hose off?
You can search my site for part# 803-00-010-A. This is for a 2.0 diameter shock body, with a 5/8" shaft and remote reservoir. If you have something else, contact us and we can help you figure out the correct rebuild kit.
Sorry but I only work on the Fox offroad line of shocks and do not service the Fox mountain bike shocks.
The proper specifications is used to much. As I cannot locate proper specifications online.
No, we do not. Only use the torque wrench.
Kids, don't ever use a torque wrench for loosening nuts or bolts. A torque wrench is for tightening and setting torque ONLY😉
What the hell is up with the music?
Improper use of a torque wrench
George Safford get over it
Oh my gosh you’re kidding me. No way. I don’t think it’s worth this.
Music so bad!
