    Just added extra rear leaf spring and fox 2.0 shocks front and rear
    I installed the fox 2.0 shocks front and rear with no problem, but adjusting the front coilovers is a real problem. I have the appropriate spanner wrench and loosened the allen bolt on the nut. I have the truck on jack stands to take all pressure off springs, but the adjusting ring/nut is very difficult to turn. I can get it about a full turn and it looks like is begins to cross thread and then pops back down. Any ideas?

    That does not sound good. Spay some lubricant between the nut and shock body. It is common for the aluminum nut threads to gall if they are dry. Never spin them when dry or force those nuts. If you are tightening the nut down and it pops back up, the damage may be done. Don't panic, all Fox parts are serviced, and you can replace the nut. And the steel shock body can be repaired as well.
