QS3/QS3r/IQS Third position closer to #2 Mod

[staggs65]

I use 2 and 3 depending on conditions but I like beer and cheeseburgers

Who is interested? I will not valve any of these shocks softer since I believe #1 is borderline dangerously soft already. But I know many will never use #3 since it is hardcore stiff. Please take this poll so I can guage need and interest. Thank You!

FYI - I was just on Fox's website. Re: QS3. You probably know this but for 2019 and newer, they call the QS3 positions out as 1-soft, 2-medium, 3- lock out. I hadn't heard position 3 being referred to as "lock-out."

Yes thats what they call 3 for the mountain skids.

$30 per shock. Yes at 4000mi they are overdue for service and it will make a difference in ride for sure.

I use 2 most of the time but when conditions get icy and heating is an issue I’ll go to 1 but most all the time on 2 never used 3 much, it rides really harsh on 3 !!! Would love to see if you can make it less hard on 3 only???

Keep up the good work Steve. PS, stock up on the Schrader valves.

Is mod for #3 available only for QS3R or can it be done on QS3 too?

QS3,QS3r or QS3L. Any with the 3 position clicker.

Steve 30 bucks is a super deal,does that include seals if they need them as well,either way,still a killer deal per shock.

Really nice work Steve. Thanks for taking the time to dyno and post your results to validate your work.

This should make a great shock even better.

Thanks VX! Will probably go even softer on 3 and Dyno that also. Possibilities are endless. The owner of the shop I went to is a wealth of knowledge and a great guy who gets as excited as I do over this stuff. Race car Chassis and parts builder. Thankful he took me on. Others wouldnt and I cant afford a Dyno yet! Snow will still be the ultimate test. I just didnt want to effect 1 and 2 from stock since dont want to ruin even 1 ride for anyone even testing.
