Throw the stick!!!!
All shocks require different pressures. It depends on the shock, the terrain, and the rider. Pretty much same goes for the tire.

Shock manuacturers give you guidelines, then it becomes personal preference. My shock recommendation from Fox is 140 - 150 pounds, and I run right about 155 to stiffen the rear end for acceleration (of course, I'm coming off a hardtail so am used to it
)Good luck!
