Fill & cap the shock (work out air bubbles 1st), open the bleed screw, compress slowly and replace the bleed screw with the shock at the top of its stroke. Reassemble with spring and let the car sit on a stand with the shocks fully extended. They'll draw in the air and usually settle at 1/2 rebound after they draw in air.
What I like about my method is that it is repeatable and consistent.
