If you're talking about the height that the midsection of chassis sits, you adjust that by preloading the shock spring to get the proper sag height. Droop is how far the rear pod drops as you lift the center of the chassis, this you adjust by lengthening or shortening the shock shaft (rod end) or by placing internal limiters to shorten the stroke.

The rear pod height is set by using one of the appropriate bearing holders to raise or lower the pod height. There's three pairs of adjusters in the kit.

I'm not sure which spring would be best for your tracks and not familiar with using the TRF shock since I'm very pleased with the performance of my stock one. A good rule of thumb is a soft spring for a low bite track and a firm spring for a high bite track.

BTW I do use TRF shocks on my Mini and TC.
