    I’ve read a few places that BOS recomemnded PSI shouldn’t be followed as gospel(?) and for someone circa 200lb+ you should be putting in close to 300lb? True? 😯

    Any user/trail tips etc? Shock is a VIP’r.

    Just put in whatever pressure is needed to get the sag to somewhere around 25-30% of total travel, the absolute psi number is irrelevent.

    Sounds very wrong, the pressures are about spot om.

    IF they’re much higher than BOS suggest, you probably have an airlock or similar. Suggest letting all the air out, and re pressurising, and making sure to do the equalising as per the manual

    Depends on a few things – but yes, they run at very high pressure compared to Fox/RS. I have 225 psi in the Vipr on my Rocket and I’m 144lb.

    Follow the manual, and check specs. for the frame regarding volume spacers in pos. & neg. air chambers
