Thanks again. Sorry for being so newb - bear with me. I would actually like to raise the rear because I don't like the "tucked" look at all (20mm rear is .875", want it about .6" or about 14 - 15mm).
Let's say I changed the adjuster from 37mm to 43mm (4 turns) and left the shock as is (per recommended settings), would that have any adverse affects? Or do you recommend trying to keep the preload the same as recommended (thus lengthening the shock a bit, although not necessarily 6mm - since you've said it doesn't exactly translate)? The instructions say that the adjustments can be about +-15mm from recommended - so we should still be well within optimal operating ranges, right?
