If your running Proaction shocks how many clicks from full closed (clockwise) are you running your bypass screw?
I've always set mine from fully open as that is how George sets them up
My clutch side is at 0
My throttle side is at 4 clicks closed
George explained to me that if you have the bypass too far open you will blow past the first stage of the compression valving, resulting in a harsher ride, ditto if you don't have enough preload, you'll be sitting too far down the stroke for the first stage to be affective

I'm pretty sure thats how he had me set mine up too.
My Pro-action shocks are some of the first piggy back shocks George and DJ put together. I have the free bleeds at 4 clicks from full counter clockwise, fast compression at 3 clicks from full counter clockwise and the slow compassion also at 3 clicks from full counter clockwise. I have sag set at 3/4". The shocks fully extended are 12.25"
