a good rule of thumb.
set the bottom shock eye the same distance from the swingarm pivot bolt as the top shock eye.
then any amount you move the lower eye out it will get stiffer.

it is all just leverage.

think of the fulcrum and pivot.

These shocks don't look like they are height adjustable. There is no ring, just gas.
