BC coilovers settings

So I got some new bc coilovers from a buddy. Lol new to me. I want to get a 1.9 inch drop all around. But I don't know where that is in respect to the preload setting. Can any one give me some insight.

1. Which BC coilover.
2. Generally preload is not how you set the height, height and preload are usually seperate.

See the lower collar on these, that is ride height adjustment lock collar. You loosen that and screw the damper body into the lower housing.

3. Why so low?

Thanks I was able to figure it out. Umm 1.9 just cuz the faction fab coilovers have a 1.9 inch drop on the back and I figured that would be a good place to start and see if I wanna go lower or higher no real reason.
