Forget the FOX manuals. Everyone asks the same questions because the FOX manuals don't really tell you what PSI to put in the rear shocks. Some people say to use your body weight at an indicator. Seems to work well for many. Try that.

Being a new fox owner myself of an 06 float I looked into this last week. The proper way to do it is by setting the sag at the proper setting. For the shock I have which has a 1.5 inch stroke the sag needed to be set at 10mm. Which is right at 200 psi. I weigh 190 lbs. So to answer your question go out and download the manual for the shock, see what length shock you have, find out the full stroke of it, then look at the chart they have which will tell you what you need to set your sag out for best performance.
