I think Bear & Harleymark are talking about 2 different things
Bear mentioned 30mm fork left unused , this can be raised or lowered by the fluid level in the forks, if its bottoming hard and the spring rate is good most times and the static sag is good, then raise the fluid level 10mm, this creates more of an air cushion at the end of your travel .
Harleymark mentioned sag, which is an indication of your spring rate , with your gear on sitting supported on the bike in riding position you should have used ~30-35mm of the suspension travel , less if you like it firm.
45mm would be using up nearly 1/2 of the suspension travel just standing still, not much left for bumps.. <i></i>
