It just seems that by taking the slop out by extending them, then walking across the 5er would cause them to shift downward the amount of the slop. Whereas taking the slop out by downward pressure, there could be no further movement downward as the 5er wiggled since they were already bottomed out.
I was thinking "bumping" the front down (instead of up) would only take a fraction of the pressure off the rear. It should only take a half inch drop of so to take the slack out.
Just got them installed a few days ago. Heading out in 10 days so will give it a try both ways.
