Be Honest lol i just let the shop do its wrk and see how cam out n then he made adjustments.. but Dangeris said that they way they come factory is perfect.. only thing i gotta do that dargeris told me is Change the soften/harder rate. Turn the nobs all way to soft then 15 clicks in the front and 13 in the rear.... so if that helps there u you..

You can still go lower to the point where there is no wheel gap unless his tires are smaller than diameter. So to somewhat answer your question, yes.
