I have KING 2" struts and james has (IIRC) Fox 2.5" struts.

I never(@ CORE) bottomed my shocks out or really got into my bumps hard. I run 230psi in the front with 5" of shaft showing and 220psi in the rear with 6" of shaft showing. All shocks are "full" of oil....meaning with ALL the nitrogen out of the shock and the shaft FULLY compressed into the shock body...the oil level is @ the schraeder valve.

My roof is @ 5'9" and the belly @ 19"

It doesn't look like you have a sway bar in the rear so that is going to effect your nitrogen pressure. you have a 4.3 and I have a 5.0 but the weight is almost the same........there are a ton of variables but this should give you a ball park place to start

I got my shocks used from JasonC but I dont think there is enough oil in them, I think they are maybe half full if not less cause when I let the nyto out of them I never even got a spit of oil. This could cause a soft shock, even going off some of the little bumps in the course I bottomed out up front and rear. I am working on getting a sway bar soon and will redo the shocks after I get that hooked up. Thanks for the figures Jeff.

If I were you I would let the nitro out of them and compress them all of the way then fill to the top with oil as Mauler described. Then adjust the pressure to get the ride height you want...

Oh yeah, If it would have been my decision i would have been a "hybrid" due to still having frame, leafs up front and other details, but they decided I was in the "buggy" class cause it kinda looks like one i guess... oh well, had a great time and would have the did the "buggy" course either way:awesomework:

So maybe the guy in the yellow toyota in last or one of the last pics wishes they would have towed him out:haha:
