Winding up the spring platform WILL NOT change the "preload" unless the shock is at max entension already and stopping the strut extending any further (unlikely and very bad)

This is exactly what I am talking about but I really dont think it is that unlikely...
actually, lets put some numbers to this...
say 1000kg car 51/49 weight distribution thats 255kg on each of the front corners.
Then a spring rate of 6kg/mm (a lot of people run more!)
this gives 44.3 mm of displacement of the spring before the force exerted on the spring is equal to the corner force of the car. If you wind it up any more the spring wont deflect under the weight of the car, you would need to add more load. the shocks will be at full extension!
45mm is not a lot, I know that my coilover sleves were longer than 5cm...
And when they were wound up high the displacement was much more than this.
