[QUOTE="8WOOD, post: 1271256, member: 16395"] Increasing compression will have a effect on sag as it strokes through the shock. It increases the resistance as the shock compresses, more resistance means you need more force to blow through the suspension travel. A higher compression will help with towing becuse the compression acts against the higher mass, and will prevent you from blowing through your suspension travel as easy; however, it's not going to have a signifact impact on the initial sag stance, and my guess is it will have a minimal impact towing becuse the stock spring rate is so low. Proper spring weight, compression and rebound are critical on shock absorbing properties and they all effect one another. Ever wonder why your super duties ride like shit unloaded? Cause they are designed to have weight on them. When you put 1000 lbs in the bed they ride smoother because the spring rates and shocks are designed to be optimal under load, your raptor is designed to be optimal empty, hence the ****** towing capacity.
