Levo Gen 2 Upgrading to Float X2

[TrackRat]

Just ordered the new 2021 Float X2 for my 2019 Levo Expert. Curious whether I need to order new mounting hardware or if I can reuse the hardware that came with the factory supplied shock. Thanks!

I have a 2020 turbo levo basic. I don’t know if something changed. I ordered the 6x20 mounting kit. I used it.
Except the outside plastic washers, which I used the OEM ones from my previous shock. It seems the mounting kit washers are a little bigger.

I just mount the x2 today. 2021 x2 float.

How did you spin the mounting holes 90° off did you just let out the air and spin it?

No. Just rotate it. It’s tough butI’ll turn

Remember to use thread loctite on the screws

Hello, I want to know the same. I'm installing an X2 on my '19 Levo, did you get a mounting hardware? Do you know whether I use Rockshok's front spacers to install the X2?

Thanks for any help.

Hello, can you rotate the valve to the outside part of the frame? I normally carry a large water bottle.

IIRC you can’t.

I bought new mounting hardware... want to saw it was 6m x 22mm as many have suggested (can double check). Otherwise we in fine (if not snug). Rotated the external can to point down. There is really only one way to install it to have it clear and that’s straight on. Meaning, line the upper mount up between the two stays (probably not the right term) and then slide the rear mount (with the flip chip installed into the rear mount. Tighten up the front a bit and then flex the rear triangle into place to line up the rear mounting hole. Get that started and then follow prescribed torque instructions.
