Anyone have any experience? I noticed now with my heavy deaver springs and ADS quad bypasses, I'm sprung to tight in the rear and losing quite a bit of grip. Need to slow down that compression and rebound but I'm to scared to start turning the nuts on those bypasses. Any experience here with it?

Don't be scared, just keep notes on what you're adjusting and the results..

best to turn them all the way in or out to find out where you're starting..

I would personally ask ADS. They would know more than anyone on here, IMO. Call them tomorrow.
agree, there’s a short trail close to ADS’s shop in Tucson, after installation they took me there to check their shock tuning and adjust, I bet they would do the same for you

This.

Keep a log book. Count your turns all the way in. Then turn them back out the same number. That will put you back in the same spot you are at currently.

Find a trail/road. Travel at the same speed each test run. Make big adjustments at first, and log in the book. Take notes on what changed. As you get closer to a smooth ride, make smaller adjustments.

Your road and trail adjustments might be totally different. That's why it is important to keep track in a log book.

Just found this video.
