Rear Shock Pressure

Last night I changed the setting from 2 to 1 and did notice a difference in the ride. So, to simplify this mess, the lower the number, the firmer the ride, correct?

Rear Shock Pressure

My wife works for a sporting goods company and she bought me a bicycle pump for the rear shocks. The pump has a special valve on it so it does not allow air to escape when removing it. It's supposed to be a high end pump. I've seen it advertized by motorcycle suppliers at 2x the price. I'll find out the manufacturer and pass it on to you all.
Also, it is a pain in the a** to get the bike off the floor. I purchased a floor/auto jack from sears. I have to drive the bike up onto 2 pieces of 1/2 inch boards to get it up high enough for the jack to fit under it.
