Running a set of 16" fox 2.0 up front in my rig and 18"s in the back. Rig weights between 3-3500 or so. Any recommended fluid and nitrogen levels?
Right now I'm running 370cc's of oil and and 210 psi
 
Air shocks or coilovers?

When I charged my 16" 2.0 coilovers I started with 180 psi and fine tuned it after I test drove. This was also on a 4500lb jeep.
 
You would really need to know the "sprung" weight on each corner. I don't know why folks always post total rig weights in threads like these. You need to know the weight minus the wheels, tires, axles, etc.

With the Fox shocks the N2 pressure sets your spring rate and ride height at the same time. The amount of oil will "trim" this in somewhat due to the change in cylinder volume. The amount of oil you put in them really depends on how you valve it and how much shaft is showing at ride height.

I recommend towing the rig to a scale and getting the F/R weights, then do some research on the unsprung parts to subtract those weights out. Once you have those you can start figuring it out.

Otherwise, test and tune...

There was a long thread on Pirate for the ORI struts, I bet there is one for Fox Air Shocks. I have 2.0s on the rear of mine for load assist with my leaves and a set of ORIs on the front. I just play with them to figure out what works, because no one else has a rig like mine so there really isn't someone to copy.
