Fox 38 front fork

[RickBullotta]

I have 160mm 38, 3 spacers inside. How many do you have? I am 100kg and is is imposible ti get 160mm

Fox forks are notorious for being shipped with too much fluid and grease, and not achieving full travel is a common side effect. Also, take all of the air out of the air spring and add it back in 10-15 psi at a time, cycle the fork a few times, then add another 10-15 psi until you reach your target pressure. That will ensure that the negative air spring is equalized. Lastly, I've found that the Grip 2 dampers run best with minimal compression damping, so start with both fully open (counter clockwise) or 1-2 clicks in. Start from there.

Dear guys,
I also own a fox 38 factory 180mm 29 on a fantic XF1 integra 160 that weight 26kg + rider 77kg.I run it with 4 tokens and 102psi. My hydraulic is not far from the original, and Im using shockwiz to tune it.For now I got bottom out on jump that is 1.5 high with 4-5m of length and flat landing.Im trying to get rid of the bottom but I think its normal for such big compression, right ?

Bottom-out when hucked to flat, that's normal. No worries.
Your fork can managed it. It's a fine line, when searching for trail riding functionality and occasionally jumping higher.
