[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1325025, member: 329"] You are over analyzing because the RT instructions are an attempt to get the sag right on the first attempt...which can be tricky because aftermarket springs are rarely the same length as the OEM springs. The RT instructions also assume you know what internal preload would give you the correct sag. However, once you have installed the springs and measured the sag it's time to forget the RT instructions and simply change the spacer length to give you the sag you want....and you are in luck because it's easier to shorten a spacer than make it longer.
