      A preloader does not create a stiffer rate at any point . it allows you to compress a softer rate spring or any for that matter and then lower you ride height lower than it would sit without the loader while still acheiving a given load at a particular travel point. It also generally has the opposite effect of a soft spring on exit at least when used on the rr

          You would have a digressive stack funny how that Circled back around

            I guess a single spring preloaded, is theoretically digressive, the rate goes from infinity to the spring rate once preload is overcome.

              This digressive stack setup for the 5th coil by advanced has been around for some time now, your first inch of travel is the stiffest.
              The Base of the P/D 5th Coil Shock is a Non-Adjustable Small Body Twin Tube 1000 Series Shock. The compromise of choosing the correct spring for off the corner traction or straight-away traction is over.  With the Progressively/Digressive fifth coil assembly you can create the…
