Why do you want to mod them if you haven't found this out?

Pointy one is ok, can be great. Curvy one arrives with same length and spring rate as standard. Penske ride height goes right out to 14".

So if a shock is valved for a stock spring then you go put one that is 100lb heavier on, what is going to be wrong
