I repleaced my rear shock with this model last weekend.

I put the new progressive shock in and adjusted the pre load but it seemed too tight. I have backed it off a bit and rode to work and it seems a bit better but maybe even a little soft.
I set the rebound damper to 3 but for the life of me I can't figure out how to adjust the sag height? I read all the instructions, and I know about the 2 measurements with the wheel off the ground and the rider and bike sitting for the 2nd one. However it does not seem to get anywhere near the 1.5 inches I found here. Total travel looks like 120 mm and Progressive recommends 1/3 of that. 40 mm is close to 1.5 inches. No matter how much I wind down the adjuster it still stays at about 2 inches between both measurements.
Any ideas?
Of yes and that wrench to adjust seems useless to me as each time I put the 3/8 drive in it and turn it seems to pull away from the adjuster. Obviously I don't know how to use it right.
