Not sure of your mods but, I recommend a set of LCA relocation brackets, not sure if you have them, can makes a big difference. Install the LCA in the lower hole to start with. Your LCA should be running uphill as they go forward.

I would try this to start with
Front shock start around 2
Rear shocks start around 3 or 4

Make few passes then start tighten up the front until it 60’s best, then do the same with the rear.
