Yes, have time on the combo now in rocky conditions through medium speed trails. Short answer: 5.6 rear is slightly stiff for me, .46 fork is good.

Bike felt unbalanced and not as stable once speeds picked up over a technical crawl pace. It really bothered me so I went back to the truck to make some adjustments. Dropping rear preload helped, but now I'm down to less than 8mm and I have over 45mm static sag for a 110mm race sag number. So, adding it all up I think a 5.4 would be better for me on this bike and match the .46 fork springs. I'm running only 1mm preload on the fork and its nice. PFP full out for slow rocky stuff, in a turn for faster stuff, maybe more for sandy trails and whoops.
