Question Coilover Adjustments

Can you adjust coilovers by just jacking the truck up or do you have to use a spring compressor? Mine have settled and I now need to raise the front back up.

Default Re: Coilover Adjustments

Typically, you raise the front end off the ground so the you have full droop then spay the theads and the colar on the shock body with oil and then adjust the colar, adjust the colar half the distance that you want to make at the fender, ( if you want a 1" at the fender change, adjust the colar .5" ).

Best regards, Kent
