Bob,
I know you had them set up your emulators, so you probably don't know what they did. Is there a way to call and get that info?
On emulators, there is no adjustment for the rebound damping other than picking the oil viscosity. Once picked, you have to make changes to the compression damping side. There are 3 things you could do - it depends on what is guiding the end result. The 3 changes are picking the GVE spring (yellow, blue or silver), setting the preload on that spring and how many pressure relief holes (it comes with 2, but you can add 2 more). For my GVE's I use only 10 wt, the blue springs and set the GVE preload amount close to max preload with a total 4 holes.
My first thought is that the 20 wt oil is pretty heavy. If its because you need stout rebound damping, then okay but you better have made changes to the compression side - especially if you have changed to stiffer springs.
There is no harm in checking the oil level, but it sounds like there is harshness all through the suspension range (?). Setting it a little below the factory level is still okay as the air chamber is still a bit small from the factory since they use weaker springs.
