How much do you and your partner weigh? Do you have an owner's manual?

I just starting adjusting my pressures. Of course you should only do it with the pump made specifically for the shocks.I adjusted pressure for me and my wife along with our gear by the manual specs. and it felt great. Check it to the specs. and then adjust from there.

I just got back from a 2,000 mile tour of NM and CO. I'm 215 lbs and the wife is 120 lbs. Both saddle bags were fully loaded and I had a T-Bag Lonestar with a top roll that was also fully loaded. I ran 18 psi in my shocks the whole time and everything seemed fine. You don't want sloppy suspension in the mountains.
