got my new raptor shock-now what

[SnotMe80]

i got a good raptor shock and a 400ex spring and i already put it on-how tight do i make the spring on the raptor shock-how much do i compress the spring-what else do i need to put it on the bike? just bolt it on and clap the rezzie?
thanks

anybody?

okay i went ahead and mounted it-i have seen some of the other ones on this forum and how they mounted the rezzie but i was not thrilled with it because of the chain would hit it sometimes on a hard jump. here is how i mounted mine

are the 400ex and raptor spring the same length. if not make sure the 400ex spring is tight and dosen't flop around when the shocks fully decompressed. from there it's really how much sag(hieght) you wanna run. tighten it down more for hieght or losen for sag.

it doesn't move around at all-how do i know what i want? sag or height? right now it is about the same as my stock 300ex shock.
thanks

its good to have some sag, that way it will sit lower and be more stable

Is the rezzie interfearing with the fender at all? I tried a bunch of different locations to mount the rezzie and ended up back where I had it before, where everyone else mounted it. Maybe I'll give that a try.

[SnotMe80]

it just barly touches the fender but i would rather have this than hit my chain.
