The rear ride height is actually fully adjustable but it is adjusted differently than the front. The front ride height is set by turning the shock body after the spring pre-load is set, it is not adjusted by the spring. This allows the height to be adjusted at any level without taking away shock travel. The front is a true coilover.

The rear ride height is adjusted at the spring, the adjuster sits above the spring. Once ride height has been set, you also need to adjust the travel of the shock by turning the body to match your height adjustment of the spring. Like the front, with this design you can set height at any level without taking away shock travel.

Once static ride height is set, you will need to add ballast and perform full corner balance and alignment.
