Default All cks coilver owners- what dampening adjustment do you like best

To all cks coilver owners whats your favorite or "sweet spot" dampening number in clicks?
I just finished my install and have been playing with the adjusters all day.
I was curious to know what have you found to be the best ride?

I currently am at 14 clicks up front (harderst setting and then going down)

12 clicks out back (harderst setting and then going down)

I might have to stiffen things up still to bouncy

Sorry bro I'm rolling on KW's. If you are trying to fine tune your suspension you should pick a familiar stretch of road, drive it once at full firm and then drive the same stretch at full soft. From there adjust to your liking either more soft or firm.

NP. Yeah I finally finalized the ride height and settings on my KW's recently. I slightly tucked my tires and you can barely fit your foot under the front and rear side skirts. The only bad thing is it made me buy a new super low profile jack, not that I'm complaining.

Sorry for the late response. My ride is not bouncy on regular pavement (highway, in-town).
