    Nah..didn't realize it had to be off to be adjusted, so I'll probably do it later.

    @lesterb315 you just need to jack your truck up and you can adjust the coils with the shitty included "ice pick"

    No kidding? I was under the impression I had to remove the whole thing as stated on the instructions. Either way they're awesome.

    negative. if you take it off then you need a spring compressor.

    You can do either way on or off. Just depends if you have time on your hand. You can also get the spring compressor in while the coilovers is still on the truck. Lots of ways to do the adjustments.

Camburg UCA. AllPro Expedition leaf pack w/u-bolt flip and Timbren bump stops. 285 70-17 on stock rims with Spider Trax wheel spacers. EBC slotted/drilled rotors with green pads.
    Easy peasy to adjust the coilovers.

    Step one- put parking brake on
    Step two- Jack up front of truck to remove some weight off the coilovers. Tires do not need to be completely off the ground. But if you can get them off the ground it will be easier.
    Step three- loosen the set screw a couple of turns in the top adjuster plate.
    Step four- using the "cheesy ice pick" or a suitable metal rod or spanner, tighten or loosen the top adjuster plate. (Tighten to raise, loosen to lower)(remember right tighty, lefty loosy)
    Step five- Repeat steps three and four for opposite side. Remember to do the same amount of turns on each side so the truck stays level.
    Step six- tighten set screw in top adjuster plate.
    Step seven- lower truck off the jack.
    Step eight- drive truck around hitting every speed bump in the mall parking lot to compress you coilovers as much as possible.
    Step nine- check that truck is at adequate height you desire.
    Step ten- repeat process until you are satisfied.

    Now quit bitching and go off-roading.
