Falcon 3.3 Piggybacks default setting to hard

Hello everyone, I'm from Germany, so please forgive my English - work with the translator.
I installed 3.5" springs from EVO with Falcon 3.3 dampers - I set all 4 dampers to "soft" but I find the response behavior too hard.
I turned the piston rods to the left (soft) - can someone tell me how many turns I have to turn them??? Or what cause can the hard damping perhaps still have? Drive with a tire pressure of 1.7 bar. Greetings René
 
There should be a red lever with a black dial at the top of each shock.

Switching the lever to 1 puts it to the softest setting, switching the lever to 3 puts it to the stiffest setting.

If you put it on 2, then you can adjust the dial from 1-8, 1 being softest and 8 being firmest. So you can fine tune the ride to your liking between the two extremes.

Now, keep in mind, Euro spec shocks MAY be different than what we see here in the States and your adjustments may be different.
 
Thanks for your answer - I know that I can adjust the dampers, I have all 4 on level 1, i.e. soft - but I still find the damping behavior too hard - here's my question as to why that could be

I also run the 3.3 falcons. They are still valved pretty aggressively even at their lower setting. Put them in the #2 position and turn the small knob to 1. That will give you an overall softer feel as it makes the damping come in a little later in the stroke but will give you an overall firmer ride. Outside of that, you can do one or two things. Send them back and have them valved (costly and time consuming being you’re in Germany) or you can order a set for a 2 door and run them. They will be softer on a 4 door. That is a very popular option here in the states. Hope this helps.
 
I'll try that - just thought I'd get a softer ride with the soft Evo springs and Falcon dampers - when I drive the Wrangler over bumps it bounces on the rear axle - was hoping I could somehow eliminate that. Thanks for the tip.
Greetings René
