Totally new to UTVs so please bear with me. Just bought a Maverick Sport Max (2021). Very happy with it so far. I'm trying to do as much reading through the forums to learn the ins/outs and recommended setups.
I've read in several places that suspension comes low (and often out of whack) from factory and needs to be setup correctly. Some quick measurements shows I'm 12" at front center (up to bottom of skid plate) and about 14" at front-side (just under driver side door hinge).
I've been trying to find specifics of what "correct" means for my rig. Almost everything I see is in reference to the X3 suspension. Including the Fox recommended setup for the X3 Max here: Powersports Help Center | FOX

- Should I assume the numbers listed for the X3 Max (QS3) are the same for my Maverick Sport Max? Including ride height of 15.5"? If not, can someone please point me to what my baseline measurements should be for my rig? Or better yet, what your numbers are if you're already dialed in.
- I think I understand crossover and how to measure and adjust. I'm a bit stumped on what to set for preload. Do I measure and set preload by measuring the bottom perch to the top of the springs and comparing to the "Installed Spring Length =23 3/4"" spec? Or do I do trial & error tweaking preload and setting on ground until I hit desired ride height (again assuming 15.5)
