Thanks Billy. This is helpful. I had it set at about 2 full turns of the spring perch past 0 load for more preload. This equated to about 1/8" worth of compression on the springs (9k/11k).
Can you help me understand in what situations one might want to adjust more/less spring preload?

I can believe a 10-12psi swing. A lot depends on the tread design and tire size. Also if their is water in your tires from condensation it will cause large tire pressure changes. 47psi is WAY too high and I would expect it to be skiddish.
Outer front tire wear might indicate the need for more front camber.
I would loosen the spring perch to just barely touch the spring (no preload compressing the spring) -or even back it off 1/4"so there is a slight gap between the spring and the collar (to increase droop travel). From there use the bottom adjuster with the threaded shock body to set your ride height.
