Buying a 22 levo in a couple of months currently riding a 2019 levo. Thinking of running 170mm forks on the new levo has anyone done it. How does it feel?

Yes and it feels great,
I ride primarily endure trails, techie and some DH, I’ll ride it in Mammoth this summer to see how it handles BP.
I Weight is 216, I’m running 3 tokens and 86 psi, RS recommends 91 and when I was running that psi it seemed a little harsh.

Had been contemplating this as I built up my 2022 Frameset. Ended up sticking to 160 only because the reviews of the new geometry were so good that I didn't want to mess with it too much out of the box. Figure I should be able to convert my 160mm Zeb Ultimate to 170 down the road if I want. Was a little concerned about the 'max' fork size referenced in the user manual. Wonder why they don't suggest / support going larger.

I demoed a gen 3 levo and thought the front end felt a little low for me. I’ve ordered the 170mm shaft and I’ll play around with the headset cups and flip chip.
