[boogielander]

Test run in the desert. I LOVE how it handles the choppy and bumpy sections and the truck wanted more.

Adjuster settings:
Front:
Low speed - Max
High speed - 3 clicks
Rear:
Low & High speed - max

@boogielander Question since you seem to have the most experience with the Fox DSC and your writeup is one I have referenced 100's of times. I have been messing with my settings for over a year to get the right comfort level for on road and off road. I came across a Ram 2500 thread where someone was saying they had their high speed cranked up to 6 or 7 and low speed to a lower like 4 or 5 clicks in and that helped with the on road small imperfections and still absorbing the larger things like potholes, etc. I messed with these yesterday on my 1500 and set mine to 5 clicks in on high and low speed in to 4 and it made my ride much more compliant. I went over road imperfections without feeling them. Is it possible to have the high speed set higher number than low speed? I always seem to read that people have the high speed wide open down or around 3 and low speed up to something like 4 or 5 clicks for on road.

oh yeah absolutely you can have high speed set higher than low speed.
for me i only mess with low speed for on road because I needed to reserve some adjustability when hitting dirt, and maxing out low speed happened to work well for me while retaining the handling.

also forgot to add:
current setting with the new springs:
1 click low speed, 1 click high speed for the front. Maxed out both in the rear (simply because I am NOT about to go down to the floor to mess with the adjusters before hitting dirt and then my seat dirty LOL)
1 click low speed with 700lb spring makes it ride like 450lb spring low speed maxed out hahaha. i do get some body roll but it's still manageable for my driving.
