This is not true. Adjusting the collar will only move the shock in and out. It does not adjust preload on the spring. That collar will only apply preload if the shock reaches its max extension.

Lol yeah itll move the shock in or out alright...because its raised or lowered the ride height of the rig. Thats what those adjustment rings are for, is to give or take spring preload for height adjustment.

oops confused my definition of preload. Raising the collar will not change the spring rate or make the suspension stiffer. Caveat, unless the preload is increased above the applied weight on that wheel.

Spring will compress more through the suspension travel then it normally would making a stiffer/harsher ride over bumps.
