    spray it down with some lube and just keep cranking it until u have at least 2.5" of thread showing.

    Also it helps if you at least jack the truck off the ground.. You dont have to take the tires off but just take the weight off the coilovers. :D

    What Mods!
    I highly reccommend this! Mine i would have to loosen the 2 top bolts then proceed to lower or raise the coilover.
