How does everyone have there suspension set up for woods?

I have mine softer than stock, but at high speeds they just don't cut it.

I am in PA with a ton of roots and rocks. Eventually I will get them re-valved, but i was wondering if anyone got them to perform well as is.

I loosened my preload and put all clickers to S. It still felt a bit harsh at top speed in the woods. Can it be that since it is too soft, that it is packing up and not actually absorbing the impacts?

I am not good at adjusting suspension!

Well what kind of shocks do you have? I have front elka's without ressi's and in big whoops i think my frame is about to brake off they bottom out easy. I still have to get my ride hieght adjusted hopefully that will help becuase I think it will work better with the front end higher than the back and increase the tension in the springs

I have stock shocks.

I said that eventually I'll get them revalved, but right now, I want to know if anyone got the stockers to perform well. If so, what are they adjusted at?

I'm not really asking about aftermarket stuff right now because I'm not ready to spend that kind of money yet.
