This can be determined by measuring sag to see if the target number cannot be reached firstly, without considerably adding preload to the spring or secondly, if all the preload is off the spring.

Now what does that mean? haha.

It means.... see if you have the correct rate/strength spring to properly set sag.... if you are not able to properly set sag with the spring you have then all the rest of the adjustments count for nothing. Setting sag is the starting point. If your spring is wrong your tire becomes your suspension and the tire ends up looking like yours.
