[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 593401, member: 4090"] You are right, but it is meant to show (not clearly), the shock with the bus weight on it. If you adjust 'up' / tighter, a 9" spring and 8" spring together, to exactly the same point, the 9" will hit preload sooner than the 8". When you then place those shocks on a vehicle and allow the shock to take the weight, I assume the 9" will ride harder than the 8" and have a higher ride height as it is 1" taller. If you use the 8", in theory, the ride height will not be effected as you would have to tighten the spring much further to affect the resting height of the bus and in doing so, you would likely go way past the comfort / hardness setting you want, which you are unlikely to do. Yup! [/QUOTE]
