what bb width does the shocker have? 83mm?
Yes, it does.

In response to the spring question, I am 150 and have a 400lb spring on at the moment, but I think I may try out a 350lb spring which is what a spring calculator says.

On the upper/lower shock mount...
From NSMB.com

"Having the dual mounting option at the front is a leftover from the design phase, and the upper position has proven to be of a very small advantage. The rear shocks that are ot today have so much adjustment in them that small differences in mounting position mean almost nothing to the rider. I tested both and liked the lower position slightly more anyway. Super hard to detect the difference in feel between the two configurations."

There were also more cracked mounts when the upper position was used.
