Float shock pressures

[boondocker97]

I am getting a set of Fox Float X Evols for the front of my M7 and was wondering if anyone has some air pressure recommendations for me for both the main and evol chambers. I am pretty savvy at suspension tuning, but this may save me a little time. I am 250lb without gear and ride aggressively on and off trail. I will also be swapping in a 09 rear skid. I will put my dual rate, valved center shock in. Is 150psi a good starting point for it? Eventually It will get a high flow piston and revalve as well with comp. adjustable reservoir, but not right away.

i had floats on the front of my m7 and ran them at 55lbs.( keep in mind these were first generation, so i am not sure if this helps)
just picked up an 09 m8 sp and had holz re valve all 4 shocks and put their stacked spring set up on the zero pro. i also added the small fett bros. canisters to all 3 floats. anyhow holz recommended a starting point of 50# up front and only 100# in the rear.seems a little spongy to me in the garage but will have to wait for some snow.

On my 08 M-8 I run 130# in the rear as If I ran any less it would bottom out in the bumps. Don't know about the front as I haven't changed them to floats yet >>>>.

Start at 55-60 front and 130-135 rear and go for a ride. Adjust accordingly.

Thanks for the info guys, but I was looking more for the evol chamber pressure. I think they run about 150 in them on the ATV race shocks. On standard front floats I like about 75, but with compression adjustments and the evol chamber I should be able to lower that a little and put some sag in the front end for better rough trail performance.

I run 55-65 in mine and I have had good luck with that any more in the front and its to harsh of an ride
