If you can push a spring together with your hands, your X5 would be bottomed out ALL of the time, riding only a couple of inches above your wheel.
Each 'spring' takes 1/4 of the weight of the truck to compress only a few inches. One must be a very strong person to compress them any reasonable amount using their hands alone.
Perhaps you mean 'shocks'?
