So, I just slapped on a pair of 440 progressive shocks. They are a definite improvement over stock. I've got them set up on the second ring (2 out of 4 settings, 1=softest, 4=stiffest). I go about 215 lbs (gear probably brings that up to 230 or so) and it seems pretty comfy so far, but I was wondering what others were setting them to. Anybody that's got 'em, please post. Also, post your weight, as that's also a factor.

Thanks.

Brent would be jealous 'cause he wants new shocks too.

I can't believe you weigh that much. I guess it's the beers.
