What are you guys setting your air pressure at for your bumps? I have the RPG kit with the Fox 2.5s. Probably carry 200# in the back on trips.

Just messing around daily I have 115psi in the bumps and I’ve gotten through half the bump travel on some short outings with minimal whoops.

I have my RPG bumps set to 115 psi and I have seen similar travel results with mild off-roading.

Good question.

Just installed my new Fox 2.5. from SVC. Someone wrote 85psi on the side of the bump shock. Not sure if that's a starting point or a Max?

I've heard from a few sources around 110-115 psi. Mine came with 200psi out of the box. I might have to do some testing with a full loadout.

I'll wrap a small ziptie around the shaft to see travel and I'll bring a shock pump with me.

I just installed my SVC kit with the 2.0" Fox bumps. SVC said they where pre-charged ready to go, but didn't tell me what pressure they where pre-charged with...
