Hi,

Adjusting the length of the push rod will affect droop and will have some effect on the ride height.

The order to adjust in, is to adjust the length of the push rod with the suspension just hanging freely to get the right amount of droop. Then sit the car back on a flat surface and adjust the shock collars to set the ride height.

Hope this helps,
Tom
