Depends what you are riding. MX, Cross Country, Dunes.

But this thread should help alot: Setting Up your Suspension

Your weight does not matter , as stated , the ride style matters
MX = 6.0-7.5" with your butt and all of your gear sitting on the bike on hard ground
the other styles .... do a search

[seank360]

mx, so it could sit in between 6 and 7

Yep! With you and gear on the quad.

Do you guys set the height to be the same by the a-arms as by the foot-pegs.

I have read articles where they recommend setting the height by the footpegs about a 1/4" lower than by the a-arms, something like (footpegs= 7.00" and a-arms=7.25").

So I've heard now that this can influence the handling quite a bit, where having a lower rear-end can make it more unstable on straights than the other way around.

Wondering how you all have it set and recommend it?
