you can just fit it with the spring compressed fully

The spring on that item is pretty tough. My parents have one on a farm gate and it only compresses about 1/3 of the way. It's more when the gate is rolling over rough ground like concrete with ridges, to dampen out the vibrations in the gate. It replaces the old wheel that was welded to the bottom, and this one make the gate about 100 times quieter when opening.
