[QUOTE="svc, post: 1100068, member: 2870"] Anytime you change where the piston rides in the intended neutral zone there will most likely be an effect on ride characteristics, the question is how much, and is that effect negative or positive? For example, if you lift your truck about 2inches in ride height, it will drop the piston in the body of the shock and take it further away from the bump zone, but put you closer to full extension on the shock. Essentially where the piston rides will be up to the end user and how much lift they are trying to achieve. The characteristics of the shock stays the same because the bypass ports remain in the same location. As the piston cycles through the travel, the shock will still have the exact same damping as stock setup, the only variable that changed is where the piston sits at ride height and where it is starting it's cycling point. For those who have been driving in the dirt for a long time know the added bonus of increased ride heights are better ground clearance and adding a little bit of preload to the spring to help keep the nose of the truck up and not shoveled into the dirt. If you look at the old 3.0 Fox IP Remote Res shocks that replaced the factory 2.5"s on the Gen 1 Raptor they had infinite adjustment on the threaded body. When we added preload to those shocks they seemed to handle much better than with no pre-load added. I'm going to assume the same for the new OE 3.0, but only time and testing will tell.
