I swapped the stock springs out on my 19 Ace 900 XC last weekend POLARIS ACE 900 XC SPRING KIT | Bandit UTV and you have to reuse the tender springs with the kit. I really never paid attention to the springs before the swap but with 0 preload on them as soon as I set the car on the ground and drive it the tender springs are completely compressed. How could they be doing anything like this?

I received an answer from Bandit on the tender spring "The theory of the top tender springs found on the Ace XP 900 is called virtual spring bucket. It is common in the industry. The purpose is that the top springs open up when the shocks are at full extension and keep the lower main springs stable."
