Servo Saver and weak steering

Come to think of it the servo does click a lot but I thought that was the servo saver.

newb to shock assembly!

Doesnt the collars just stiffen the suspension by putting extra tension on the spring?

It seems that the shock itself wont extend any further. Is the shock its self not adjustable?
