These particular shocks are an off the shelf universal fitment. They are not designed to be used on the FL350 so Fox does not have base settings to go by. Myself and Nuke Em are playing Giunea Pigs as far as usage.
Remember, these shocks are 15.5 inches spacing eye to eye as compared to the 15.25 of the Showa or Works shocks so modifications for usage will be required. As far as the ride goes, these are Air shocks so the ride is totally adjustable. They come from the factory at 200 psi. The stacks inside the shocks are changeable so you can adjust rebound and dampening.
The bottom mounting is going to require the works bottom mounting system which consists of a bolt and spacers to take up the difference between the stock bolt v/s the 1/2 inch Fox eyelet.
Be patient I will let you know what is required for mounting and how well they work.

I bought my air shocks for my Pilot direct from FOX, not sure you can do this any more this was back in like 1999 I think?
The new shocks then came with a valving guarantee think all new shocks come with one still today you will have to ask, mine was a 30 day valving guarantee meaning you have 30 days to resolve any valving issues.
Mine were way off so I called FOX described what was wrong they said to ship them back they would be happy to change the valve stacks as many times as it takes to make them right, I then asked if they could just send me the valve stacks and I would change myself, save on time and shipping they agreed and sent valve stacks, I change then tested they were still not right called again they sent me more valve stacks got them right the second time, I kept all the valve stacks so have a great assortment of valve shims to play with in the future, I have adjusted my valve stacks a few times since then.

If you order a 10 a 30 a 50 a 70 a 90 you will have all the shims to create any stack for 1 shock.
If you think you'll be between a 50 and a 70 just buy those stacks and you'll be able to adjust anywhere in between.This is per shock, rebound and compression.
In the rear I'm running 65 rebound wit 4 .078 bypass holes and it isn't enough rebound.
Hoser's recommendation of 90 is probably real close. I'm running 2 stacks for compression first shim is a 1.6x.008 then a .9x.008 then a regular 20 stack.
In front I have a 35 rebound with stock bleeds which is pretty good. For comp I have another dual stack 1.6x.012, 1.425x.012,.900x.008 and then a 50 stack. The dual stacks work nice because there is very little low speed dampening so when you land on all 4 wheels at the same time it's not too harsh.
The high speed part of the stack will soak up a 1 wheel landing and keep you from bottoming
that corner.
If you get your air pressure and compression ratio right you don't need alot of comp. dampening.
