I bought a new sled this year and it has fox float 150 psi shocks on the front. i adjusted the shocks earlyer in the fall to about 70lbs. whent out on sat for a rip and shes sagging hard to the left.......from what i understand is the valves inside s**t the bed and i have to get them re-built. any words of wisdom??? and also where can i get them re done in central alberta? perferrably around red deer but ill take them further if needed!

ya i can understand the cold weather thing but the left shock bottomed right out and wont re-extend, i find it hard to beleive that it will come back to life as it warms up :confused: but who knows. ive heard that its like a once every 3 years thing to have them re-valved. wondering if normal shocks may be a fail safe fix??

Just bought stock Zero Pros for a Cat and it cost just under $800. Depending on riding style and weight would consider changing. Heard E&S Cycle in Fort Sask is good at rebuilding and valving. Or I have a used set of floats for sale.

For all your Shock needs.....ZBROZ Racing.....We build and valve the shocks for the rider......Ask BDF 900 how his work, Best shock in my opinion not because I sell them because as A bigger guy stock shocks have always been an issue, My shocks on my sled built for a 300 Ib rider.....BDF 900 has a couple sets ask him what he thinks?.....We biuld shocks for all applications.....
Have a look very cool stuff have a look.
