You DEFINATLY want it on the softest setting. Wolverines are well known for bending their axles on jumps, and if you stiffen up your shock, that puts more of the impact on other parts of the bike.... like the axle. The shock is there to absorb the "shock" of bumps and jumps, so I really don't understand why anyone would stiffen up their suspension anyway.
