    Do you need a special (spanner) tool to adjust the height of King C/O's?
    Thanks in advance

    you dont "have" to have a spanner but it makes it alot easier.

    some people just buy a long screw driver and cut off the end and use it as a ghetto spanner

    be sure to have the truck jacked up and loosen the set screw when you make adjustments
