Says that it comes with a pump to change the settings out on the trail...but I wonder if you can adjust the height.(Or if the pump will adjust the height)

The coolest thing about these shocks, besides being really lightweight, is that the spring rate is fully adjustable by the consumer. For FREE! That means, that for those of you who love to tweek with things and play around with different setups, you can do it almost instantly with the hand pump. You just adjust the amount of air in the air spring. No need to pull the shock, take off the springs, order a new set of springs, put them on, re-mount the shocks.

This means, I would assume, that if you add wheel spacers, get wider a-arms, or anything like that, you can adjust the shocks yourself instead of having to get them rebuilt by a shop. At least that is how I understand it. If I am wrong, someone please set me straight. Thanks!
