K400EX&A250EX

Before anyone flames me for asking this question again...please know that I DID search the Steering and Suspension forum and read MANY different posts on this subject before asking this question again...just to make sure I understand before I invest in something that doesn't improve my quad...or even makes it worse. The quad is a 400EX.
My SPECIFIC question is this: If I were to purchase a rear stock rebuild that has zero preload, or any zero preload rear shock for that matter, would I be able to adjust it so that it would be compatible (level) with the Works Triple Rates I have on the front?? From what I could gather from the many posts that I read, you can adjust the zero preload shocks (essentially giving them preload) to match the fronts. Did I understand that correctly?? I realize that in doing that would reduce the advantage of the zero preload shock...but might be necessary to match the fronts. What I DON'T want is to purchase a zero preload rear shock and have the bike handle poorly because it is unlevel.
Any advice you can give me on this specific question would be appreciated!
