Fox Mega Air shock help.

[Bob Johnson]

Just purchased a 2011 Apex SE with the Fox Mega shock in the rear skid. I also purchased a SeatJack for my wife to occasional ride with me. I have been looking for weight and air pressure chart to set the rear air pressure when riding two up?
Has anyone ridden two up, and if so what did you run for air pressure in the rear shock?

Have a '11 SE for the gf. My recommendation is to dump the Mega and go with a spring rear shock. Could NEVER get it to be a decent ride for her. Ended up getting a shock from Travis at BOP with HyGear dual spring setup that was night & day for all around performance in different situations. I know it didn't answer your question, but trying to prevent you from wasting your time.

two up setup might be difficult to set, I have one on my 07 and if found that if I set the PSI to what I weight suited up it was a pretty decent ride.

What is the max pressure or recommendation for air pressure for two up?

I have a Mega Float on my Attak
I typically run @ 160PSI in the shock for normal use and when I install the Seat Jack for two up riding I bump the pressure up to 175psi.
Works for me.

Thanks for information, its where I will start from for settings. How do you like the seatjack and does your wife ride with you or kids?

My wife rides on it for Ice fishing trips and a bit of trail riding. It works well for me and I have the old style 2006-2010 version...the 2011 and up Apex model is much improved so you should be pleased with it.
