Those assist springs will have at least an inch of travel before they fully compress and you would bottom out on the road or your fenders.

I agree, i would rather retain the same spring rate, while just sacrificing a bit of preload, rather than having more rear travel due to lower rate. Thanks for the help. Ill see what removing the bottom lock collars feel like.
