Does anyone know of a good market to buy a new or used set of fox zero pro shocks other than eBay? I'm looking to get a set of them and sending them out to get valved properly and going to have dual rate springs installed and then will be selling my float 3s. I've tried just about every psi from 60 to 120 pounds and have decided there isn't really a good setup. After driving my friends base ltx I've decided I need to get a real good coil spring setup on the front. Granted the base ltx rear suspension is more plush but the front of the sled handles much smoother as well and with the dual rate springs it will offer all the big bump capabilities of the floats and still give a plush ride. I'm looking for shocks right around 18" eye to eye if anyone has some info they can pass along on where to locate a set

Dont waste your time and money.
Just get a set of Elka stage 5. they will come set for you out of the box. Best performance shock out there.

$1600 for front shocks is way out of the question. I don't do any form of racing, the most aggressive trail riding I do is with a few buddies that ride really hard for 10-15 miles at a time so the setup I'm looking for is more than adequate for what I want. I'm not the type to adjust suspension for every different day, once it's good it's good enough, only problem is the float 3s just aren't going to be good enough. I can get a good set of dual rate coil over shocks valved to my liking and sell my float 3s and not loose a dime
What's your budget? I have an older barely used set of Fox Zero X, low speed and rebound, w/ dual springs that could be made into something for you. I can also build a set Ohlins for you that will be hard to beat...

Got someone lined up to valve the shocks and install dual rate springs for around $375. That's not counting the cost of the shocks which I'm hoping to get a cheap used set. Condition doesn't matter as long as they aren't bent or broken and they don't need springs as I'll be getting new ones. If I can be in a set for around 500 I'll be happy because I'll still have my floats that I can sell. Not looking to get rich off the floats but should still be able to get a decent price out of them

For that much investment have you considered some good aftermarket shocks instead of going through all that and end up with a revalved coil over with no other adjustment? For not a whole lot more $$$, you could buy some nice clicker adjustable shocks with reservoirs. Exit shocks or Raptors are about 1k. I was going to upgrade my floats to evols or revalve coil overs until I decided to sell what I had and go aftermarket. Just an option! I am using both those brands on a couple of sleds and couldn't be happier.

So pick up a set off the ltx or Lxr for $600 new

Have you considered turning the float 3's into evols??? you can get a kit from fox but other brands like hygear, pioneer have em to. you can get the floats valved by them to. Elka stage 1 shocks are about $800 and that will get you dual-triple rate springs, custom valving, and a rebound adjustment knob.
