How's it go in braking bumps/rolling whoops?, if it feels normal and doesn't buck it s probably worth concentrating on high speed compression ( ie soften it), if it bucks in the afor mentioned its probably not enough total compression damping ( bottoming) if it isn't bottoming and it's still popping up over logs and reducing high speed compression has no effect and you have got a stiffer spring in there, it probably needs more rebound damping (especially high speed).

Correct sag/spring alone will not stop bottoming, it's in the valving.

Hope that helps
