Default Static shock sag

How can I achieve the most static sag with my stock icon shocks? Looking to
Have about 90% of the travel already compressed so
To speak so to lower truck but keep lots
Of down travel for flex?

For my wroncho i use super soft springs 2000 weight shock oil and adjusted the angle of my upper shock mount. I have about 60% down travel and 40 % up travel. There are some venders that make shock keys to change the upper shock angle.

Sprung weight helps. I run a rather heavy truck. I use wraith front Springs and still sags 80% into it. Leafs on rear running three and same result. About 80% sag. With 30W oil makes for a very realistic suspension action. And excellent droop characteristics.

Well then mounting the shocks at more of an angle will give you an effectively softer spring rate. But other than that, softer springs as mentioned earlier.
