    Could just be the combination of valving as well. But since the ome can't be changed your stuck with it. Remember the shock is there to dampen the oscillation but it isn't doing the job anymore.

    Why don't you set your preload at the optimal height now, instead of setting too much preload and hoping that it will settle?

    Ive got ton of weight up front. Steel plate bumper with winch and a 31M battery. I pretty much maintained the same height.
    Here is my preload with stock 13/650 lb Icons springs


    Here it is with 14/700lb King Springs

    The truck was sitting two inches higher than the OME lift I had previously installed so I didn't want to push the CV's and uniballs any harder. I couldn't believe it settled almost four inches in 100 miles.

    There's something wrong if your springs settle 4 inches. Youu probably have way too much preload right now and have no droop left. You should set your preload at the optimal ride height right now and just adjust it after your trip, if it settles.
