I really don't know about the proper setting, is the "if it feels right, it's right" theory alright to go by??
My advice is to get a carpenter's level. Set it from nose to tail and adjust it dead level. Ride it. If you feel like you're sliding, adjust it half a bubble up or down and see how that feels.
