Default 06 Predator suspension set up??

Anyone a good suspension guru?

My problem is on my new Pred, when I actually soften the back end up (spring tension) to where my feet don't get pounded off the pegs I get to much weight tranfer and the front darts all over the place.

Do I just live with this and stop cryin' or should the rear shock be re-valved.......?

I am not talking about rebuilding the shock I am talking about re valving it for a smoother rebound.

I am big into snowmobiling and actually rebuild Fox shocks. Was just curious if the stock valving is set up for racing or what or if I can get the ride quality I want without revalving?

I ride mostly trails and the occasional 1-2 trips to the dunes per yr. 220lb'er

you jump alot or do anything crazy?

so far im going to suggest leaving the the pre-load the same and softening up the valving 3-4 clicks in the front depending on preference and 4-5 in the rear. i would leave Rebound at stock
