Hello Abby
Thanks for getting back to me with that info! Jerry and I actually test the set ups ourselves and we start out at #5 for street use. The lower you go # wise the softer the shock gets. But in the end every vehicle and set up is different it is going to have to be a trial and error situation. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad
