Thanks @ Eternal Winter for the pressure. Some of these previous reply’s are awesome.
Rear Track Shock won’t always hold itself up

According to Big John, some of the shocks Hes tested we’re around 200psi.
S
my sled has 2 to 3 inches less sag with shocks actually charged properly
D
I had Tom's on my G4 and loved it. I have been tempted to do the full carbon skid on my G5 but thinking I will do Tom's and Ice Age.

They touched briefly on this in the 2024 technical video. Apparently with the limiter in short, the rear suspension compresses a bit until the rails make full contact.
C
I wouldn’t do a carbon skid, to many issues with broken parts.
D
Good to know. I haven't got any real feedback. Surprises me though with how strong Carbon is.

Fully agree with you about temp, viscosity and reduced damping at elevated temperature. Still won't reduce sag. Sag is 98% spring, 2% nitrogen pressure. Elevated temperature = higher nitrogen pressure to a point (expands less that air) so you should see the opposite.
My 23 expert shock would sack out when riding hard and getting extra weight of snow and ice buildup on sled.
Took all four shocks off and recharged the nitrogen to 300psi and problem solved.
I’ve had to do this on many of my own skidoo sleds over the years and also on many customers sleds.
