Nytro
I set my front Fox shocks at 65lbs and notice that the clearance on the sled is still very low compared to other sleds. Is this typical for the Nytro? I rode a Viper and the front end seems like it has so much more clearance. Setting the pressure any higher than 65 and the sled handles like crap and pushes badly in the turns.
 
I run mine at 54 1/2 and it looks like this. Lots of big hits and it takes it well.

I have mine set at 62 and handles like a dream and you can watch the shocks work... did you take all of the weight off of the front end before you adjusted them?
 
I did. But now I have to walk out and look to see if it is 54 or 62 lbs. it handles great
 
Here is where they are set

There's always a trade off for changing things, finding the balance is a trial & error PITA sometimes. If it works for ya' the way it is, ride it.
85# here (bigger guy) but figure just above 1/2- like on medium, when I get on it don't sag to level/ a bit stiffer helps me in the corners also.

What's your guys ride heights? Say to top of front bumper? Maybe help compaire also. To me the balance between rake and the shocks proper setting is big. It seems like they put the length shock on they needed to get height but screwed up because they were to stiff
