OK, OK guys. Took it for a ride the next day, noticed right away the rear was softer, felt a bit uneasy as I just wasn't used to the difference. Missed that good solid kidney bashing feel. Wasn't happy with my mounting point of the shocks, so I re did them. Used the original bolt for the upper shock mount. Re-shimmed the bottom mounting point as I had some side play in that area.
I have been scouring the internet looking for what the adjustments on the shock do. From what I gather the bottom adjustment is damping and is factory set at 2, the upper is preload and may or may not effect the ride height. This concerns me the most as I am short and am on tippy toes at stop lights. Right now I have it set to an area between 1 and 2 with about 5 clicks down from all the way out. Some guidance here would be appreciated.
I haven't had a chance yet to try it on my favorite mountain runs, will keep posted.
