How to shorten fox floats to fit 2016 front ends

[Martens199]

I don't remember the length change from 38" to 36" if there was one. The way I did it was to drop the suspension out as far as I wanted it to, and then cycled the bars through all ranges of steering. when I was sure the tie rod would clear the lower arms and such, I measured the length eye to eye length and that is what I had my shocks shortened to.

What did you have your shocks set for psi? Close to max? Or what you normally run them at. If I ran my shocks at 30psi I wouldn't have rubbing issues but any higher psi they rub.

That's because of the negative spring in there. I wouldn't count on that as a limiter any snow or ice on ski will affect it. Not safe. 30 psi isn't rideable anyway.
