Anyone have some suggestions for front and rear pressure setting s for the fox shocks. Rider is 260 pounds, riding pack trails semi aggressive.
I read somewhere they are putting 60 to 70 lbs psi in the front shocks. This has to be done with the ski hanging with no weight on it. On the rear suspension I do not know.

63 PSI at 60 degrees F [16 Celsius ] this will give approximately 60 psi at Freezing and 57 psi at 0 F.
This is on a 2013 Apex SE with float 2's. I ran a 2011 Apex SE 3 years at the same psi
Pressurize while off the ground as Rod said above.
Front Shocks dont take a lot of effort/ pumps to adjust so you may want to start at 70 and work your way down to 55 or so while testing it over the same piece of trail to find the sweet spot for you.

@ 260lbs I think front should probably be closer to 70lbs and rear probably near 200. I weigh 175 + gear and my settings seem best @ 65 front & 160 rear, but I occasionally add my 145lb wife & seat jack to my 2011 SE. Still bottomed badly with rear shock @ 225lbs. I would start @ 200 and go up from there. Good luck!

I'm 225 w/o gear and run 75 front and 175 rear and only bottom out on rare occasions.
