Default TCS suspension; need advice on setup...

I recently purchased a set of new TCS shocks for my Banshee 370 Long Rod.. The front shocks are brand new, and were set up for 220 pound intermediate, and the rear shock is a SCS conversion... I currently have a couple of problems out of settings.. The front bottoms out when catching a little air and I already have the front ***** tightened all the way to hard. The back does not bottom out but sits a little too high for my liking.. So my question is Should I tighten the front 'spanner nuts' down so it will not bottom? And for the back, should I adjust the spring? I do really not wish to be playing with shock adjustment all day when I could be spending time riding.... Please help with some expert advice....

1st don't listen to LT80 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

2nd Were they ordered for the proper weight and a-arms?
If they were then they should be sent back to Todd and revalved.

If they were not ordered for the right set-up they need to be sent back to be revalved [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] You should not have to adjust the springs themselves.

Shocks should only bottom out on the hardest of hits.

Ok Mike, Maybe you could explain where I said something that wasn't a fact.
The topic starter stated that he wished to have it done right the first time so he could be riding. I gave him an option.
