Front suspension

If your front springs are just about as soft as you can set them Would this make the front sit higher or lower than if you had the front springs cranked up. I'm thinking it will make it sit higher. someone i know said it would make it sit lower because it is on full soft. But I know suspension sometimes doesn't work the way you would think. Plus Sag is one thing soft spring setting is another. Anyone really know the answer, 100% for sure, i would bet my gonads on it!!

Hey Skid,,,, if your "preload is turned down" your ride height goes with it,,, same in the back,, less preload = more sag,, front or back. If we all could ride around on smooth trails, we would not need as much preload for bumps and stuff, unless you weigh alot, or carry alot of stuff... I am actually trying to make my old on lower for drag racing, and radar running,, i can't get the front as low as i want so i am gonna have to put spacers in the front shocks,, I got the back about perfect... :D regards...G
