Can you post a pic....I cannot imagine the front sagging with that much PSI in the shocks.

Damn I run my at 45ish.

How ya measuring?

 

[Kevin Garceau]

yeah just thought of that....to get a reading you need to have the weight off the front skis. It would throw the readings way hi if you put the guage on it while it had the weight on them

seems like it was sagging the shocks would be extremly weak, but w/ that much air in them.

 

[apexrtx006]

oh ok well theres the answer do you gotta pull the front end off to put more air in??because i didnt when i put more air in them?
ill try it tomoro ang get back to you guys

I don't have fox floats but from what I have read on here; yes you have to take the weight off the shocks to get a proper reading with the floats. On the trail; you tip the sled to one side and check and or add air, let it down and then do the same to the other side.

Yep, just take the weight off the ront. No need to remove any plastics, just the cap for the air nozzle. Well I suppose if you got your pump in the front of the sled you will have to remove the hood.

I store mine in front of the air box where that rubber strap is that holds it on, it also keeps my pump secured. No rattling around this way.

You need to have both shocks in the air (unloaded) to check air pressure, because the stabilizer bar will compress the other shock some

 

[06apexrtx]

per the book you need to unload(jack up the front) the supension to check and add air to the shock to be correct.
