Laz has very good instructions on his website that might be helpful. Otherwise, set your castor (if adjustable), camber, and toe. You'll want to re-check each one at the end since they all affect each other. Then set rear sag to 4 - 5 inches. 4 is for more aggressive, and 5 is for a more plush setup. The goal is minimal spring preload, if you need more than 3 turns, you need a heavier spring. Then set front preload so the front of the frame is .25" higher than the rear (ride height). I would try (and mark down) where Laz has the comp and rebound adjusters set, then adjust from there if you see need. Hope this helps.
