Hi Frankie, I'm ~185 so we're just a couple beers apart weight wise.
I ran ~380 positive and ~330 negative for a touch less than 30% sag. I ran the rebound fairly quick. The only rule there is you want your rear suspension a bit softer and slower (rebound) than the front - I like to run the Lefty and Pike quite fast.
A couple thoughts about your particular shock:
1) Pull the shock off and cycle the back end of your bike. Does it move freely? I have a friend whose Jekyll felt like ass and it ended up being that the fairly exposed linkage bearings were seized. Got them moving again with some grease and then replaced at earliest convenience.
2) You have THE foremost Cannondale suspension service and tuning centre in the world in Germany: Eighty-Aid. If you're running ~28-30% sag and your frame bearings are good that would be my next contact.
Cheers!
