i'll give. i was thinking overall spring length and not travel. quick math:

4" spring. has to travel 2" to bypass at 50 psi (made-up numbers).

so 2" at 50 psi = 25 psi / inch spring.

shim say 0.1" . that is equivalent to 2.5 psi

so, 2.5 psi to get spring moving, followed by 25 psi / inch spring rate.

has to move 2" = 50 psi.

will now bypass at 52.5 psi.
