    I've read start high and bleed out until you are happy with it. Set that oring at the top of the shaft. So you could start at 150 and go down.

    When I can afford the rear suspension I will be going a similar route.

    Take the tank and play around if you can. The factory set 200 should be too high. I'm running about 110psi of air since I don't have access to nitrogen yet and it's pretty good. But still could use a proper tuning session with people that know more than me

    What size rear bumps and what type of suspension setup? How much up travel do you have at ride height?

    I really like still having my full bed for dirt bikes and camping. That was the main reason I went this route instead of bed cage.

    With 8" of up travel you would benefit from being a 2-3" stroke. At 2" stroke I would run 75-100 is it's a 2" diameter bump

    Yea with only 8 up I'd shorten em to 2" and run bout 100 in em, that's what I ran in my old leaf spring setup...maybe a lil higher pressure like 150 cause I'd drive it pretty hard.
