BEWARE of step#8, where it says to add up to 8 turns of preload :o. VERY BAD IDEA [smiley=disbelief.gif] , especially on a Fox. Fox will tell you 2-3 turns max. Anymore and the shock it likely to bind causing it to explode and leaving you without a shock or at the very least with a nice bill for rebuilding it. Other than that little oversight nice article, thanks Simon ;). Cheers :)
