there is always an installation ratio and shock angle that affects the relationship between the vertical wheel movement and the shock shaft velocity and spring rate.
The farther the shock is mounted from the ball joint and the greater the shock angle from 90 degrees off the control arm that it is mounted to, the slower the shaft will move in relation to the wheel movement and the heavier the spring needed.
