And IF I can humbly add to the thread (been on a sabbatical, feels good to be back FORUM friends!)

I will also say that your rear spring settings should also be determined with what kind of riding you are doing. Its often not talked about as these forums cater to fixes, upgrades etc. etc. but adapting your machine to the specific trail ride is VITAL!

My wheeler was really rigged for mudding. I didn't know better and I learned the hard way on Hatfield and McCoy trail when I flipped back. If your riding wieght is over 250 (like me) and you are doing mountain trails with climbs, crawls etc. you may want to stiffen up the rear to adjust from rear squat issues that can throw off your center of gravity on a uphill scenerio. - IMO
