Same here. Great ride, but I ditched the AVOs (they all leaked and then after re-building leaked again). Now QA1 double adjustable all round. I did put longer shocks at the rear than standard and this gave better travel from compression to full droop. The angle on the rears is near vertical so you don't need a high spring rate. Having the correct wheels helps with avoiding rubbing on the guards. Never had the problem.
