We call them sleds or simply 'machine'.

Suspension / front-rear are tunable to what the rider desires. Why there isn't a benchmark, I don't know. Reminds me of the days when we purchased brand new Polaris sleds and fully dismantled them. Go thru every piece, lube, assemble and dial it in.

Anyhow, the brief criticals-
center steering linkage, handlebar, bell crank, etc.
setting on the shop floor, each ski 100% equal height - (measuring from the width edge)
skis 1/4" toe out
-----note: most likely you have carbides, but I don't what you have in length. The longer they are, more aggressive.
Set up the usual IFS to rider weight, compression, rebound rates and where you plan to ride. ie: groomed or washed out trails?
Don't skip out on setting up the rear suspension. Weight transfer is crucial and really affects the front end. Generally, to lighten the load on the skis, you want the front of the rear suspension to push the track downward. Not familiar with your machine, but you might have travel limiter straps.`
