I have stock skid for now but a 163 ce....have fox floats, what are you guys running for mid shock pressure and what would you run in the chamber and shock on rear shock....TS says 150 in mid but I have no rear numbers, just tryin to minimize as much as possible ski lift at 10 lbs

Thanks

Is it a Timbersled or stock? If stock you need to get a coupling kit. Timbersled is a coupled suspension. I run 80# front 150# rear. Here is there specs..... http://www.timbersled.com/docs/09-10 163.pdf

I have a stock suspension, except I have Ice Age straight rails,fat boys springs and had my rear walker valved a little stiffer. I am good to about #11.5, then the sled simply wants to come backwards. Not much more can be gained with what you have in my opinion. You could maybe get the rear shock super "tight" but that may be a tough riding sled in other aspects. I myself didn't get the coin for a different skid, but after a year of running the sled, I think that is the only way to keep the front down on higher boost.
