I have a 2007 CRF150F but i jump alot. I can't afford to go out and buy a 150R. So can anyone with trail bike suspension knowledge be able to help me add air or stiffen springs or something. I really apreiciate it because bottoming out hurts after hitting my forty foot table top.

get a manual or a dirtrider magazine from your year bike and there will be setups for different weights and conditions as to your compression and rebound. or just move them 2 clicks at a time

You don't add air to your forks...

Your bike wasn't designed to be jumping 40 foot table tops.

You don't "add air".
The bike is a trail/fun/play bike, not made for big hits.
You can replace the stock springs with heavier ones (I assume they are available), but the bike will never be a jumper/mx bike.

I had the same problem with my RT180 ... so I bought a YZ250, problem solved!

BTW, if you are hitting 40 footers with that bike, you may want to think about never having any children .... :p
