[QUOTE="Bark beetle, post: 1100315, member: 21513"] Thank you for the response, I fully understand the effect of the piston location with respect to the bypass ports although it will serve as a great tutorial for many others on the forum. my question is at what point will the preload put the piston beyond the designed ride height zone of the bypass system which will result in more clearance but could also negatively affect the shock response to the terrain. I say could because I don't have my truck yet nor have I seen anyone tear into the shocks yet and measure this or get some real offroad data between stock and leveled. Increased ride height is an added bonus in some situations and a negative in others, the same is true for spring rate and preload. Too much can really make the truck handle terrible and it can also through off the valving in the shock as it has to resist a higher load from the spring. This is unlikely with a system like yours utilizing the stock spring but I would still like to know if the truck is riding in the same bypass zone as stock with 1-2" of increased ride height and the distance to the next bypass zones. For your information, I am not a rookie offroader and have ridden bikes, ATVs, UTVs, Jeeps, and trucks for 30 years from the Rockies to Baja. BTW, Your parts are looking very nice and I can't wait to see them complete. The infinite adjustability is a real bonus for your design. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
