christmas came early this year during a visit to kartek, and a set of 2.5 fox 2-tube bypass shocks were acquired for the front of a 5.5" deaver progressive coil sprung, rk 3 linked, 2wd mj....

anyone got valving advice? bypass-specific tuning advice?
what kinda charging rigs you guys using? it seems like the time to pickup a Nitrogen tank and setup.

Nice acquisition. I,ve wondered about tuning bypass's myself, I,m sure lots of testing. RE has a charging kit that uses little nitro cylinders and Powertank puts out a nice kit that includes a refillable tank and high pressure regulator. The MJ sounds like it's coming along ,do you have pic's?

the mj is definately lacking out back oem SOA w/ a built 44, but the stock leafs just arent cutting it.... someday it'll get a 4link. THEN i'll be willing to post pics!

im diggin the smaller powertank setup that uses the micro bottle.... definatly will help w/ the tuning phase!

The Powertank would deff be nice to have in the kit. Do'nt worry about the MJ, mine is a work in progress for sure.Trailing arms would be bling, but getting some SUA lift springs and long shackles would help alot.

Fox will put your bypass tubes wherever you want - it all depends on where in the travel you want the bypasses to come in and out.

As for valving, call Fox.

i was hoping someone could read my cans, and indicate if they are in good position/bad position... and how good or bad 1 compression and one free bleed is, for a non-reg jeepspeed.

ive been meaning to call fox, but i havent had any free time during buisness hours to chat. obviously i bought them used, and am somewhat stuck with what it is.
