[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1324993, member: 329"] Measure the sag with half of the ride height/preload rings showing. If you want more sag then shorten the internal spacer in a 1:1 ratio (to increase sag by 20 mm, shorten the spacer by 20mm). You can then use the external ride height/preload adjustment to fine tune the sag. Oil height is used to adjust the amount of air in the forks and to use compressed air to increase resistance at the end of the fork's compression stroke to prevent bottoming, usually comes into play during heavy braking. Opps....looks like Sath182 posted while I was typing and I said the same thing he did. [/QUOTE]
