Rear Shock Replacement

Can anyone who has the Gen 1 SL and a Fox Float X2 give me a simple guide on how to fit it, or anyone who knows how to fit a rear shock for that matter

I have a 2022 Float X2 on its way to me that came from a Turbo Levo (2019)

I assume the bushing will be fine for the SL or will I need to remove the ones from my current DPS shock

Hoping its just a case of unbolt the old one and bolt the new one in and torque to spec (10.2 and 23.7)

Flip chip is just a straight reinstall? Is it easy to determine which orientation it is set to (High or Low)

Cheers

Should fit no issues. Just swap the mount hardware over and go. Set sag at 30% of stroke (16-17mm IIRC)
