FOX FLOAT Air Sleeve Rebuild Kit 803-00-142 - DPS, DPX2, RP2 & RP23

The FOX 803-00-142 FLOAT air sleeve rebuild kit replaces the air-can seals on supported FLOAT RP2, RP23, DPS and DPX2 rear shocks. It is for air sleeve service, not a full damper rebuild. Match the kit number to your shock’s model and year before ordering; several newer FLOAT designs use different seals.

Which FOX shocks use this kit?

FOX’s RP2 and RP23 owner manuals link to the air sleeve procedure specifying 803-00-142. FOX also lists it for FLOAT DPS, FLOAT DPX2, the older 2014–2017 FLOAT X and FLOAT SL. Check the service parts list for your shock’s exact model and year, using its identification code or serial number. For DRCV or another frame-specific version, use that version’s own service information. The word FLOAT covers several shock designs, so “2000 to current” is too broad to use as a fit guarantee.

2022-and-newer FLOAT X, FLOAT X2 and the redesigned 2024 FLOAT use different air sleeve kits. Do not order this kit for those shocks simply because the name looks similar. If you need help identifying the shock, send us the model information before ordering.

What to have ready for the service

The seal kit addresses the air sleeve seals and wiper. Check FOX’s procedure for the required lubricant, fluid, tools and shock pump before starting; the correct supplies and quantities depend on the shock. An air sleeve refresh does not repair damaged shafts, worn mounting hardware or a damper that needs a full service.

Follow FOX’s pressure-release and service instructions, including its guidance for a shock that is stuck down. If the job is outside your experience, a suspension technician can handle the service and inspect the rest of the shock at the same time.
