Fox shocks

I have a 2008 rhino with HCR long travel. I am running the Fox shock and having a bottoming problem. I got a lot of good ideas and assistance from Fox shocks. What are people running with a long travel set up...spring rate and valve set up

Got a message from HCR. The fix will be done next week. I will have all the parts together and the suspension fixed. Hope to get a good improvement. Hopefully this year in the dunes I wont lose my ice chest or break a steering box. If all goes good I wont be in your way....LOL

My rhino will 55 if I get a down hill run with the wind at my back and about 55 miles to get up to speed. Thats the reason for all the changes. I blame JR for all my rhino problems.. He keeps beaten up on me. Feel like he keeps taken my lunch money...Damon at HCR is sending the parts to a local shop to fix my shop problem next week. I hope it does the trick. P.S. still love ya JR (LOL)

I hope it works man...but since the fox can't be dialed in you should switch over to a diff stock. LMFAO Hcr did switch to king which to me in the rhino world most shocks are roughly the same, its all about set up that's what will make the diff. I give it to damon to stand behind his kit and try to make it right good luck
