[QUOTE="Zcat7, post: 593393, member: 14023"] I think that what's missing from your diagram is the "full extension" stop that exists within the damper assembly. You only get preload when you are butted up against that. Unless you are at full extension then the spring length will only adjust the ride height in relation to the adjustable platform (threaded ring). So if you assume that both dampers in your diagram are NOT at full extension then what difference does the spring length make to your resting ride height? You'd just use your adjustable platform to move the spring up or down to the desired ride height once the weight or the bus is on it. There are of course differences to spring length in dynamic use but that also depends on number of winds, damper rate etc. if I read this correctly this is just about ride height? [/QUOTE]
