For those of you interested in doing Schrader valves RPG offroad now offers them and you don't have to drill and tap the shocks.

@The-Old-Dude 2 года назад

Good to know as this should make the job simpler.

@slls693rgr 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing this information. How is the ride after rebuilding the shocks? Are you happy with the mid perch shock height? Is there any difference in the ride quality?

@The-Old-Dude 2 года назад

Ride quality had a noticeable improvement. (My shocks were worn out) I am happy with Mid perch look and ride. I did have the truck aligned after and also had to adjust my load leveling tow hitch.

Thank you for posting. Can you provide info on the spanner you are using? Size and make please?

@The-Old-Dude 3 года назад

Check out this video I did for my rear shocks. ord Raptor Rear Fox Shocks Fill & Pressure about 15 mins in I lit the parts and cost.

@giliardfabio2072 2 года назад

very good the video, the nitrogen pressure, is it 220 psi? in the front and rear? and the amount of oil would be 14 oz? in the 2 too?

@The-Old-Dude 2 года назад

I did start at 220 but dropped the pressure down to 210 because the ride felt better. I covered the volume of fluids in the video and do not remember the exact amount. (It is coming up on rebuild time through)

@myponyjose 2 года назад

Nice video! How much nitrogen do they take?

@The-Old-Dude 2 года назад

They require a very small volume of Nitrogen. You can see the size of tank I used to fill them and I have played around with different pressures in my shocks over the last 2 years. I still have 3/4 of a tank left.

@paulflores1729 Год назад

Great Video, thank you. I have a question. The grease that is under the floating piston. Did you cleaned the grease? Did you add new grease after cleaning it?

@The-Old-Dude Год назад

If by "grease" you are referring to the oil that goes in the shock, I put new oil in the shock around 26:30 mark of this video. I listed all the tools, part and oil used in the rear shock rebuild video.

@paulflores1729 Год назад

@@The-Old-Dude Thank you for the quick response. On your Part 2 - Teardown video at 4:23, after you blew out the Nitrogen Piston, you mention that it was pretty nasty and slimy, that’s grease that Fox factory put there. Did you clean that slimy grease? Did you add more grease before installing the Nitrogen Piston? Or you only put oil on the nitrogen Piston and reinstalled it. Thank you for taking the time to help me with this.

@tjbhatia9867 Год назад

Hey after I rebuild my shocks and put in nitrogen in it my shaft didn’t go up as I filled in the nitrogen could you think of any reason why It didn’t do that

@The-Old-Dude Год назад

Only a couple that come to mind. 1. The shaft is bound up, You are not using enough pressure or there is fluid on both sides of the shaft valve. Make sense?

@Jeeptruck1959 2 года назад

What weight oil r u using

@The-Old-Dude Год назад

I review the tools and supplies I used in this rebuild video = Ford Raptor Rear Fox Shocks Fill & Pressure - about 3/4 of the way through.

@makeamericagreatagain7314 3 года назад

Are you for hire to do shocks. .need mine done

@The-Old-Dude 3 года назад

Too many projects of my own to take on that task. There are multiple rebuild shops around the US but I hope these videos show that it is not that hard for you to take it on..

@diegolopez8211 3 года назад

Rebuild kit parts number? Thanks.

@The-Old-Dude 2 года назад
