445mm axle to crown measurement is the same as a 100mm fork with 20% sag.
So a 100mm SID would be perfect. If you don’t want the fork bouncing up and down so much, get SID with a RLT damper and keep it on lockout. The “T” bit means threshold, which means the fork will stay locked out and only move and absorb large bumps.
Every 20mm on the axle to crown is roughly 1 degree on the head angle. So reducing the the travel down to 60mm would result in the head angle becoming 2 degrees steeper so roughly around ~ 70degrees that’s quite a change and bike may not handle very well at all.
increasing the pressure in the -ve chamber
I’m not sure that’s the best solution. The fork would also become overly sensitive and end up blowing through is travel a lot.
