I am about 180lbs. Right now I think it is set to 4 by the factory. I have no idea what is considered as "appropriate" shock response. Would some care to educate me? Thanks a bunch!

Try it on 5 see how you like it. If it seems better, try it on 6. It's a lot like getting fitted for glasses. "Which is better 5 or 6?"

How's your ground clearance in back? How much shock travel is used up when you sit on the bike? The preload is for adjusting ride height. That's all it does.
