Light preload on both ends and drop the oil in the fork outer a little.
I know its not a 2012 model, but thats the same logic I applied with the TTX setup on my 2010. .46 front and 5.4 rear. 3mm preload on the front and 12mm on the rear. Bike sits up in its stroke very nicely. The forks are great, but the shock still needs some valving. Pretty sure its valved right on if you're into MX. Too stiff in the initial part of the stroke for bush work.
