The lowers are a bit tougher, with the only way to adjust timing is with the springs. A lower hole in the finger is often used, which increases resistance, in trying to shorten the travel when the correct length/strength spring and proper setup for the lowers can often accomplish this without increasing resistance. The timing, resistance, and travel for the raises can be adjusted by using different holes in the changer fingers. The good news is, if stuff isn’t put in the changer that doesn’t belong there, it should never need it! Then there’s the undercarriage setup. Since it requires removing and cleaning the changer, it often isn’t done. So, the root of at least some of the stigma against push pull action is often a lack of changer maintenance. Raises also are affected by mechanical resistance, and makes them more difficult to time. A lot of the stiffness, in lowers particularly, is due to the changer being too tight in some way and the return springs having to be over tightened to compensate. no, lol! A push pull with a clean(not greasy and gunked up) and not over shimmed changer, can play almost as light as you could want.
