FOX - SLS COIL SPRINGS
SLS (Super Light Steel) springs are now available from FOX for DHX and DHX2 rear shocks. These SLS springs are a lighter weight steel spring option offered in addition to our standard steel springs. The new SLS springs from FOX are lighter than titanium springs at more affordable prices. A proprietary surface treatment and stress relief process removes residual stresses from the spring, allowing them to withstand higher stresses. Each spring is optimized by using a smaller wire diameter and fewer coils, creating a lighter spring.

Some springs may be too long or short to fit on certain model shocks (TLG). Please refer to the charts in then link above before purchasing a new spring for your shock.
Tighten the preload adjuster just until the spring no longer moves, then preload no more than 2 full turns.Preloading the spring more than 2 full turns may cause the spring to coil bind when the shock is bottomed out.
