what if one were to say take the stock top hats, and lengthen them by 1 inch as previously described on this forum. Now if you had lowering springs that dropped one inch, it would increase the tension in those springs back to a stock preloaded spec, or close to it. Now what if one were to do this mod, but instead of lowering springs, use the stock springs to preload them? Would this increase the stiffness of the suspension setup but allow for a nice ride as well? I realize that the stock springs are linear and that it takes constant linear force added to continue to compress the spring.

Let's assume a few things:
without the mod, sag is a given amount. for arguements sake, lets say 2 inches. With the mod, its now only one inch. I guess that topping out would increase under these conditions because of the reduced negative travel. Is this a problem under street conditions?

Oh and for the record I have illuminas. Thanks guys
