Just put a set of Fox Floats on my SRX. Was wondering what a good psi setting would be? 125psi? higher or lower?

Not sure on the psi but I have heard it is a very good idea to get protectors for those shocks, apparently once they are dinged slightly they lose air pressure real easy.
i only had 50 psi in them on my rx1 and seem to work ok
remember to have the front of the sled off the graound to air them up so all pressur is off the skis....... My buddy just runs them with around 20 pounds on his Apex RTX............ I would think at 125 thay would not move.

What sleds come factory with these shocks, and how much to buy aftermarket?

snopro cats, probably others
I bought a set new for an 09 Phazer RTX for $400

AC Sno Pro F6, F8, Z1 Turbo and the CF 8 Sno Pro. And for Yamaha, Nytro RTX/(SE comes with Float X) and Phazer RTX and the discontinued Apex RTX all come with Fox Floats.
Don't forget the Apex Mtn SE came with Fox Floats in the front also.
wish i could put a set on my viper what is needed to do it? anyone have a write up on it?

There was a thread on here a couple days ago and one of the members was saying that he just put Fox Floats on his Viper.
Try doing a search...

My 06 rsnytro with floats called for 70psi stock so I would think starting close to that and fine tuning your ride height, handling, transfer...
There are shock mounts out there for vipers to use regular style shocks. The ends on Phazer shocks are narrower than some others and fit fine in the mount on the trailing arm. Not sure on the cat ones.

I have the phazer fox shocks on my 151 srx set at 60 lbs. the front is lifted about 4" higher than stock with no sway bar. I also had to extend the mounts on the steering arms with bushings so the steering does not lock up when the skis are in the air.

I run 60-80psi Fox Evol X on my Apex MTN, when solo riding and to take extra impact from cliff drops, and when I double standing up side by side for snowboarding usually 100-120psi.
I think this works good for my style of riding I havent felt and impact since I put the Evol-x's on the Front.
-Extremely Happy with my Suspension set up.

I ran 40 to 50 psi in my floats for trail riding, they sat up nice and high but were not too stiff. I wouldn't go any higher than 60 psi unless you are jumping/snocross.
