Anyone have any hints or tips on the install of a PS 420 rear shock?

I acquired low-mileage used unit (thanks JM!) but would welcome any suggestions regarding installation, settings, etc.

thanks in advance!
 
Never done one, so how about you send it to me, and i'll do the dirty work, then send it back in a year or three and give you all my data.

John,

I've never done one, but since it is made for the C10, it should be a bolt-in, so nothing special for the install.  Setup is more personalized, and depends on your weight and riding style.  There are some good suspension setup guides on the web to help, like this one:

HTH,

Edit:  Have you seen Progressive's installation instructions?  Here are the instructions for the 465 shock, which has superseded the 420, so it they should be basically the same.
