How did I adjust the ride height? This may sound like a simple question but what is the correct answer? Every option have an effect on another part of the suspension system. Is there a guide to setting up a 501X? I've seen the sheet sheets. Below are the ride hight options as I see them.

Adjusting the spring height on the damper cylinder, changes the preload on the spring.

A shorter spring means cutting a good part that can't be adjusted back.

Moving the damper to a difference position on the damper stay, changes the dynamics of the suspension.

Unscrewing the ball joint, on the end of the piston rod, by a few turns will just cause it to break.

Putting spares under the piston reduces the length of available travel. As does fitting a shorter piston rod.

Please help.
