Pre-load is a matter of personal preference. Weight and how you ride will influence your decision as to what suits you best. Experimentation is in order.

Rider and Pass weight has a lot to do with it. On my friends Champion 2002 GW wife and I total under 300lb , we are on the middle notch with 23 lb tire pressure on the rear tires. Still feels a little harsh to me.

i talked to my instaler and he sets the shocks on the 3rd notch and the preload on the bike at 12. so i will start out with that.

and the tires at 20lbs.

Tires back 20 lbs, front using a Mitchlin Active 18/130 rear tire at 42 lbs suspension set at ten lbs. Ride is good steering is awsome with the Active tire ..will never go back to a front motorcycle tire on a trike again ! If you have not tried the Active tire (rear) mounted on the front of your tike your missing long life rubber and a much better ride .

I have a Solid Axle-
Front tire- MPA rear tire mounted in reverse at 41#
Rear tires- Kellys at 22# (24# with cargo trailer or camper on).
I got 28,000 miles out of the first set of tires.
