I'm going to let others answer this but caution 
that it may depend on the arrangement of the 
blocks (if any.) Ours is a straight drop - no blocks.

Another bit of advice is to leave quite a bit 
more than you think you need as it is always easy 
to trim after you've moved the cb up and down a few times to test it out.
