Just put it on my Apex and wow what a difference. The handeling is so much better and the way it works in the powder is awesome if you are looking at it I would say you need to buck up and get it. Any Questions ask and I will tell you what I know

Just finished putting one on Boosted Apex and Nytro. Seems really stiff at 135psi and mega ski pressure. Really high in the back too. Might lower the back end and soften up before we ride on 28th. Just a short try behind our place but very little ski lift. We have straight 162 rails on both sleds and you can pick up the rear with one arm (as long as you are tall enough) LOL. If anyone has setup tips for these sleds I would like to hear, thanks.
On the front shock 130 and the rear 140 and the front limter strap is just a little loose on solid floor. On the rear arm I used one 1/4 inch shim on the compression side of the rear arm.

The high pressures are probably good for climbing but for most of the riding I do I need the suspension to move, LOL. There was so much pressure with no shims and 135 in the rear that you could pick up the back end with one arm and not budge the front. Setup shouldn't take long, nice to have lots of adjustability.

Just spoke to Timbersled. Recommended going no less than 125lbs on rear shock. I'm going to go 125lbs in the rear, remove the coupling shim and put the 1/4" ride height shim in. He suggested that will get you back to stock ride height.
All my pressure setting is as the sled sits in the shop under its own weight, I have been told to take the weight off and air up with no load but doing it on the trail and in the deep was just as easy to do what I did so your numbers would be closer to what you have posted.
If you don't unload the suspension your numbers will be different every time you stop. All it takes is one guy to unload the back end when you take the reading. I just had my valve freeze on me when I added some air on the trail. I would recommend to go with 125 psi as a start and change it in the shop after the ride. No fun to limp out a sled on with a collapsed suspension.
