FOX shocks have been designed, tested and manufactured in the USA for more than 35 years. As a consumer and supporter of FOX products, you need to be aware of the importance of setting up your shocks correctly to ensure maximum performance. This manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to set-up and maintain your shocks. -
Page 4: Understanding The Podium Rc2
UNDERSTANDING THE PODIUM RC2 Body • § Large diameter 6061-T6 smooth bore seamless aluminum body allows for greater damping force capability while allowing the shock to run at lower overall temperatures. § Increased oil volume allows for reduced fade and increased durability. §... -
Page 5: Installing Your Shocks
• absorbers along with the reservoir hose clamps and isolators. In order to mount the FOX shocks, the plastic cover that goes around the stock shock hose will need to • be removed and stored, as it will not be needed. - Page 6 WARNING: Be sure not to add too much pre-load into the coil spring. Doing so may result in coil-bind, leading to spring failure and potentially injury or death. If you are at maximum preload and need more ride-height, contact FOX for a stiffer spring. The distance from the ground to the front outer frame rail should be between 13.5-13.75”...

Page 7: Reading The Spring Rate
READING THE SPRING RATE FOX coil-over shocks only use quality, high stress race springs. The springs are a shot-peened, heat-treated chrome-silicon material, designed to give maximum travel and minimum weight. They are preset to ensure they don’t sag over time. -
Page 8: Adjusting Spring Cross Over
ADJUSTING SPRING CROSSOVER (DUAL SPRING ONLY) The spring crossover point is an important tuning parameter. A softer initial spring rate offers improved traction and hook-up while a higher spring rate deep into travel helps to resist bottoming on jump landings. As a rough guideline, the spring crossover point should be as deep into travel as possible without experiencing excessive bottoming. - Page 9 STEP 3 Use a hammer and flat blade screwdriver, to loosen the crossover rings. STEP 4 Determine the Spring Correction Factor using the following table: STEP 5 Use the following formula to calculate crossover ring placement: Crossover Ring Placement = Shaft Travel (in.) x Crossover Point x Spring Correction Factor EXAMPLE •...
- Page 10 Crossover ring placement value should match the distance from .629” the top of the spring coupler to the bottom of the crossover ring. Example .629 inches You may need a small, flexible ruler or measuring device to accurately determine the crossover ring location. Another useful way of measuring is to count the threads on the body (the thread pitch on the body is 14 threads per inch).

Page 11: Dual Speed Compression (Dsc)
DUAL-SPEED COMPRESSION (DSC) ADJUST The FOX DSC valve is an option on coil-over shocks and gives the ability to externally adjust the damping. The DSC has about 24 clicks of low-speed adjustment and about 22 clicks of high-speed adjustment. The factory setting is 12 / 12. The performance of the shock at this setting is close to the performance of the non- adjustable shock and is a good all-around setting. -
Page 12: Rebound Adjust
REBOUND ADJUST he Rebound Adjust feature on FOX coil-over shocks gives the ability to externally adjust the shock rebound damping. Adjustments are made using a small flat- bladed screwdriver on the eyelet at the end of the shock shaft. For slower rebound, turn the screw clockwise. -
