The rear slider link is very sensitive. Try to move only a couple of notches at a time. What I do is only loose the nut slightly so I can only move the slider with some efforts and feel the notches. I only moved about 3 notches to make the link shorter to get about 1.25 inch drop.

SO glad I found this thread! Thanks S500 Man. I'm "down the road" from you in RI and I'm curious how you feel about the ride quality with our wonderful New England roads...
