Hey,
I have read both manuals(ft & rear) over & over & over but its like reading Greek to me....
I have a Rock shox Totem solo air fork & a Fox DHX 5 air rear shock.
When setting the "sag"on both I just seem to get lost. Do I let the air out till meets the line where i marked the sag or do I play w/ the adjustments to try & get them down to the line?
I bought a shock pump & added the proper amount of air for my weight but both shocks are still rock hard.In fact I almost got thrown off this weekend because the rebound was like a spring board on a flat landing.
Please if anyone is familiar w/this type of shock & fork,
Any help would really be appreciated....

To set the sag properly on your fork and shock, make sure you have your dampers fully open (i.e. shock: pro-pedal knob & switch fully counter-clockwise, 125psi in boost valve, bottom out canister fully counter-clockwise; fork: floodgate deactivated/pushed in, high-speed/silver knob and low-speed/blue know compression fully counter-clockwise). After that, sit with your riding gear on (if it's a lot and significantly changes your weight) and measure the sag on your fork & shock. Add or remove air in the air spring of both until you reach your desired sag percentage (15-25% for XC, 20-30% for FR, 25-35% for DH) then you can mess with damper settings.
