the step 8 measurement from the step 4 measurement. The difference should be between

9. If the number is less than 3.75 inches (9.5 cm), decrease the front spring preload (see
page 170) and repeat all steps. If the number is higher than 4 inches (10.2 cm), increase
spring preload and repeat all steps.
