I put adjustable Ranchos on a couple of months ago and now is the first time I'll need to adjust them. The problem is, I forgot how. I don't know if the desired number should point toward the end of the shock or toward the middle. If there's a hash mark or something, I can't see it. Any help appreciated.

Mine has the hash marks for each setting. Lefty/Loosy & Righty/Tighty.

Start out by rotating the knob counterclockwise until it stops. That is the lowest (softest) setting, which is setting 1. Each click clockwise is one setting stiffer. So, 8 clicks would put you at setting 9. Buy counting the clicks, you don't have to see the knob.....just have to be able to reach it.
