You just might do that.

Bump of 'X' size compresses suspension by 'Y' amount, if the position of the suspension is less than 'Y' from the bottom it will bottom out, changing the preload changes the position in the suspension's available travel, more preload = further up the available travel. Thus can accomodate a larger bump before running out of travel.
