Max air pressure?

[munskindaddy]

What is the max air pressure you can put into the fox float 3 shocks without damage? Also the small evol one too?

Most are front shocks are 150 PSI in the main chamber and 300 PSI in the EVOL chamber. I think that you can go up to 200 PSI in the main and 300 PSI on the rear skid shock. Usually it will say on the sticker of the shock what the max spec is.
That being said, you probably don't want to run them that high as they will be really stiff!

i have about 300psi in my middle one, to get that funfactor while backcountry riding. no problem so far.

Fox says for evol chamber 300 pis is like not having the chamber, I saw a video where they recommend 225 as starting point for evol. The floats dont require crazy pressure once they are revalved. The factory valving on front floats honestly does nothing. If you jump it and ride aggressively it blows right through the travel and is harsh. Personally I do my own shocks and they can be sooooo much better. With no swaybar and stock valving I was at 110 to 120 psi and still disjointed with bottoming resistance. I like to loft front end up over snow banks and play around. Now I run about 80 psi which is more trail friendly and are plush jumping.
