Rear springer preload

The rear rockers on my 05 FLSTSCI are free truning from the nut side inside of the springer. The bolt has full thread engagement, but I have heard there is some preload on these. There is an outside threaded plug with a large allen wrench type of opening and I guess it is a bolt head on the stud underneath. Can anyone give me some guidance on setting the preload or is this free turning stud ok?

Thanks Loco

Did you install this yourself? How difficult was it? I'm considering the same kit.

Thanks,

I lowered mine using the Burly nonadjustable kit in the rear and the Burly/White Bros. Kit in the front. Lowering it 1" in the rear and 1.5" in the front makes it sit nice and level. She does ride a little rough now, but whatever, it looks great!
