Why would you change the preload? Just use the lower portion to adjust the ride height and adjust the dampening from there.

the worst that could happen is youll bottom out the shock rod and damage the piston internally.

cant the same be said on other coilovers that are height adjusted by the preloads i.e. ground control, tein ss, etc..
