Not sure by "isn't loaded by other components" mean, can you please elaborate? Would lifting the car on jack stands and taking off the wheels suffice?

They measure the compressed length of the spring and compare it to the free length of the spring to measure pre-load. iirc this car lets the suspension hang to full droop unless there's a bound up swaybar or bushing. Some cars/suspension designs do not allow the damper/spring to travel to full droop when lifted up into the air, some do.
