    Unconfirmed reports has that 4 threads equal 1" lift. Mines at about 7 but then again I have armor up front so that's another factor in the lift height.

    5 turns is 1 inch. Had to preload my drivers side 3/4 of an inch today because my taco lean is stupid now.

    Yeah definitely going to try to make it!

    Oh ok, then I'm pretty sure I went up like an inch and half. I'll have to keep an eye out for that taco lean.

    It may take bit for the shocks to settle. I wouldn't suggest Preloading more than an inch. I wouldn't see a reason why you would want to other than for looks. Especially with those pretty kings.

    Well of course i want to show them off, but if it's not recommended then I'll have to adjust it again. Thanks for the heads up!:thumbsup:

    I swear, my tombstone is probably going to say something about that jerky! Sorry to say, we made a batch a couple of months ago and probably will not be making any more for a couple of months. I can bring beer though. Good enough?

    If you need to go higher than an inch I would suggest stiffer springs. Believe me, those pretty blue kings show themselves off. Your truck looked mean in my rearview. If you really wanna show then off throw king stickers all over the place. Lol

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Ask @itaro to let you swing his .44 magnum. :laugh:

    I swear I'm the only person who says a 9mm and .45 feel the same.

    Thanks man! I really only went that high to try and level out the truck since the rake it pretty high due to the dakars.

    I have 10 threads on mine with zero issues. We got the same truck so you could go up more. That must have been a bitch with the straight wrench. The t wrench makes it so easy. Has a little bend on the tip and you can spin it around any way to get good leverage.

    The dakars will settle. Mine have been on for a yearish and finally feel perfect. And my timbrens are nice and broken in as well. Actually very happy I went with them

    The front will settle, the rear will settle, the front will settle, the rear will settle. Endless pursuit chasing that level truck dream.
