you deffo have to tension the spring, and you can only do that by tightening the spring between the platform and the top seat(piston top) you can only do that if the piston stops extending. but thats weight off at full travel .

think about it, if the piston didnt stop to allow you to wind the spring tight, every time you jack it up the spring will be loose lol.

but when the weight is on the car, it should give you travel as the suspension compresses and droop when you jack it up.... back to the full travel

what poundage springs are they?
