    I can’t find any info on how to rotate Fox rotating shock caps. Nothing in the Fox tech manual, nothing online. Is it as simple as loosening the two cap screws, and moving it to the desired position? Does the nitrogen need to be released? Does the shock need to fully extended, or compressed? Any risk of losing oil?

    Maybe I should have said that I’m talking about a 16” triple bypass piggyback shock. I know how to adjust a coilover, but thanks for the effort.

    Yes, pretty simple. Loosen those top screws and rotate into the position desired. No nitrogen or oil will come out of that. BUT, you may want to discharge the shock to rotate the cap easier. PM inbound
