    Will coilovers (Fox, Icon, King) set at zero ride better and/or have more travel than coilovers set at 3 inches?

    My train of thought is that cranking then up for lift is the same as preloading the springs. Is this correct?

    Yes, setting any coilover at no ride height will give you a better ride because there is no preload in the springs.

    Cranking them/Preloading them is the same thing. You are cranking them to add preload.

    Thanks JT. I just checked out your website. Prices look good on King Coilovers. I'll be in touch when I get ready to pull the trigger.
