an "ideal" setup would be to shoot to bottom out the shock on your roughest hits. however, that's following a "track tuning setup" mindset. Just like with an engine on racetrack when gearing is chosen to allow the driver to hit the rev limiter at certain points to optimize lap times likewise suspension settings can be approached that way. however, for a good all around recreational rider, having some shock travel in reserve is not a bad thing.
