IIRC, in the instructions it says for most, 3-5 clicks is sufficient. But again, it's been awhile since I read em to see what I should set em at. Actually, when I 1st did em, 1 was set @ 19 clicks, the other may've been on 3. IDK if that was Rebound or Comp. Perhaps I accidentally turned it to 19 when I 1st got em just to tinker.
If not, who knows.
Let me tell u, a RCSB albeit dropped on "19" settin, is like by a bull. Not that a bull kicked me in the nuts, u just don't want it to.

I usu. keep both C & R ~5.

So when u takin to the track to see if it makes a diff? Or is that on hold til u move to Brokeback Mtn.?

yeah, I have a few more things to do before I break anything. I figure late Jan before I am ready.

So maybe I have them a little stiff, i will try different settings and see. If I lower the tail gate and sit on it it barely moves right now

U have an Ext Cab so the settings that might beat me into the ground might be acceptble to you. The comfort u have in wheelbase over me, is prolly offset by the 4wd. FWIW, my sis-in-law had a 03 ECSB Z71. And later, a 06CCSB 1500HD 4WD. I thought the CC would ride smoother thru it's LWB, but I think that goes out the window when it sits on 3/4 underpinnings.

Everyone has different tolerance levels when it comes to ride or exhaust sound.

Plus, w/ my "BIG" swaybars in both Frt & Rr, I think when I hit the giant bumps or this 1 really nasty set of R.R. tracks, there's a predetermined limit the truck "lifts" or is limited by the sways. I never know since I did everything @ once. The Belltech shocks in rear are all I changed (temporarily during winter) since my suspension changes.

In spring, I'll swap out stock fronts for Belltech shocks. Then, no more suspension changes unless it Caltracs for, uh, harnessing newfound power.
