Best "Big Boy" Suspension Set up. 18 Carbon Levo. 250lbs/115kg/18 Stones

Looking for some ideas on where you run air pressure in shock and fork...

...and is it better to upgrade both?

You are going to be at the upper limit of what the stock fork and shock can handle. The best thing I ever did was get custom tuned. Almost all bikes come tuned for the 150lb-180lb rider.

To your original question on my 2019 Levo expert I run 285psi rear and 104 psi front and weigh in at 230lbs I still have some tweaking to do but they should get you in the ballpark.

...did you send them off somewhere for the custom valving? Or did you LBS do that?
