Awesome! Thank you. Do you know how many settings are on the 412? I weigh 160 and will probably start out on 1. Sorry for the questions but the 412's were already installed when I purchased the bob.

counterclockwise looking down from the top. Make sure both shocks are at the same setting.

At 160 you should be fine at any setting, but be careful when two up cuz they can bottom out pretty easily unless they are the heavy duty model
