Shock Pressure Q - Need Help....

[Vindex Injuriae]

Need some help ya'll.... I blew the the rear rez hose on an 04 Pred, got a new one and had the shock filled. The dealer filled it (they say) to 200 psi. Now its like riding a pogo stick. :grr: Went to a different dealer where we were riding and they said its supposed to be filled to 300 psi. What's the deal here? Will 100 psi make that big of a difference? Or is there something else going on I should be looking for? Is 300 actually where its supposed to be? This thing is a handful to ride now.... Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

The rear shock should have 200 psi. Was the oil replaced to the correct levels before it was charged. That would make a big difference in the feel of the suspention travel. If that is not the case you really need to work with rebound and compression settings!

Hello, I have been rebuilding fox racing shocks on the predators quite frequently and after every race. My manual says to put in 300psi in the rear shock.
