I get confused by it every time I try to use it. What in your opinion of an easy shock to start tuning? I have a 2022 Fox DHX coil and a Fox Van/bomber CR. Both seem pretty easy to work on at home.

It's not. The results arent even close to the real world but even in you spend hours getting perfect measurements of your damper it still doesn't give you anything useful. It promotes itself as replacing a dyno but it really isn't, you are better off with trial and error as restackor will just confuse you. You would think it might be useful to iterate shim stacks before dyno testing them but it isn't, I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper and easier to teach yourself CAD and CFD with some of the free and open source software tools out there...

No shock requires a vacuum bleeder, they just make it easier and quicker. If you're rebuilding dampers all day long, that's way too many hand jobs!😶 Tools: Appropriate sized shaft clamps for the damper shaft A few different size Knipex pliers Some nice syringes (the vet ones work great and can be rebuilt) Any specialty fittings for oil ports and charging the IFP ( Anso is a great source for these and other parts/tools) A nice pick for removing old seals No need for nitrogen, plain ol' atmosphere works fine for home work. Be careful when removing old seals, especially...
