Fox ATS adjustment

Curious how many clicks from the firmest setting everyone is running on their ATS? Since installing mine I do feel like bump steer has mostly went away. I do seem to feel the ups and downs though in my steering wheel. Meaning if the road slightly dips and suspension compresses I can feel it slightly in my wheel. I never noticed it with the factory one. I started at 5 click to the left then went 2 more.

I put it all the way right and backed it off a hair.

Worked fine like that for 9-10k miles and now I can feel bumpsteer. But my tires REALLY need to be balanced and rotated.

Could you ever feel a slight back and forth in the wheel when the suspension compressed?

Did you do shocks too? I did the 2.0 performance and I want to say yes. Like when driving off the pavement with the passenger side into a rough ditch to park?

I will drive my partners truck this week, he just got a 2019 like mine.

I just did 2.0 shocks a few weeks ago but I've had the ATS for a few months. Not necessarily off road, what I feel is mainly highway driving and sometimes the road has slight dips. It seems it's when the front suspension travels up and down in a uniform fashion if that makes sense. Not hitting a hole or bridge transition, just the slow controlled up/down travel of the front axle.

I've got 53k miles on it. I'm planning on getting it in to the alignment shop for a check. I was just curious if anyone else noticed this or if it's just my OCD.
