Default Where to place bearings on Strange drag shock?

I'm about to install my Strange SA front drag shocks but I am not 100% sure where to place the torrington bearings. Do I have them placed correctly in the picture below? I put the flat washer down then the bearing one then the flat over it.

Another quick question...Right now on the adjustment ****, the longest line is facing straight up, is that setting 1? I can turn the **** one turn to the left and 8 to the right from that point.

Thanks!

Thumbs up

Move the bearing up to the spring seat above it, you'll want the spring sitting on top of it. As far as your shock valving adjustments it sounds correct to me (one turn from full soft, 9 full turns total).

Thanks man! Just to clarify, I want to put the bearing and the two washers up to the spring seat or just the bearing? I assume the bearing goes between the two washers?

Yes, the bearing with a washer above and below it up on the spring seat.
