Mid Travel BS 2.0

i was watching it to make sure it didnt. I was confused as to why it was such a bitch but the threads are still G2G. Was weird, but i got it adjusted and its not moving ever again.

EDIT: i only say it didnt jump threads because i had to turn it 6x to get to an acceptable height. so i was able to see the previous threads.

 

Yea mine were relatively hard to adjust also.. bent the T handle

I have to take my coils all the way out to adjust them

 

...well...you were not using the right tool buddy, I have never had a single problem using that actual King punch tool and a squirt of WD silly cone spray. The King punch is milled to the exact right size and it's hardened steel / prob chromoly. The tool is 4 years old and still perfectly straight and none of the holes in my collar and disfigured either. That King punch tool is prob a foot long and it gives you plenty of leverage to turn the collar. I've probably adjust my fronts 20 times over the years and always on the truck.

 

This is the tool you guys should be using :

 

That's the tool I use, but I have had to make my own spanner wrench as sometime the elbow for the resovoir gets in the way and I have to move the collar a few degrees to be able to get the punch back in.

 

And if you ever want a penetrant that works better than wd40 try aerokroil. You can thank me later

 

Here is actual size, it is beefy...no way in hell you are ever going to bend this thing

 

...if you have the previous generation of Kings the next time you rebuild your CO's swap out the hose fittings like this makes t a lot easier too :

 

Ill just leave this here..

 

ummm yeahhh...you do understand that you need to lossen the allen bolt on the collar before you try to turn it right ? wtf hulkster !?

that's crazy, i even had 700 lb springs on my mid travel set up and never had a problem...not once ?

 

Thats what it got bent on.. a buddies #700 coils.. and yes the set screw was loosened (but not too much)

With the actual king spanner wrench it was cake

But the king punch tool worked fine for my coils... #600

 

I've adjusted my ADS coilovers multiple times on the truck with just a pin punch and it is incredibly easy. I'm confused what would make some of these others so hard to adjust.

 

I believe on of the coils on them were almost seized on.. sprayed a healthy amount of trim flow on them an crossed my fingers. After the punch gave a little we switched to the actual spanner and it made short work of it

 

Still
Haven't made the list

 

Not everyone has. List would be insanely long if he listed everyone. Not sure I should be on it anymore though...

 

Haha I know. I'm just messing around.

 

I really dont mess with the builds linked anymore or the information cause all the same questions are on rotation, so no need.

Options for this thread:

Switch to whiskey vs and start arguments in here with you fine people and mods to bring it back to its roots.

OR

Invite all the new 3rd gen owners from the FB page in and tell them its a safe place to bitch about their trucks and ask what size tires they can fit with a new spacer lift.

And finally:

I will then take bets on when jberry actually knocks himself out from hitting his head on his keyboard or unsubscribes.

 

Anyone have pics of a first gen rear hydro bump setup?

 

Does the punch tool come with the kings when ordered or does it have to be ordered separately?
