2018 suspension removal

[TrueBlue]

I do know how to remove suspensions but with the new updated air fox shock would it be easier to remove the suspension by letting all the air out of the shock. If I am forgetting something else not hesitate to tell me.

Thank's in advance

I had to remove mine when I swapped out the Back Country 1.75 with a Ripsaw II 1.25 on my '18 Apex XTX. Although it can be a pain and workout to pump up the air pressure in the shock, letting the air out of the shock made removal and installation of the suspension easier. Likewise, when dropping the rear of the suspension (i.e. leaving front bolt installed), I also found getting the holes to line up was much easier when the shock had no air pressure.

Thank's for that information.
