    I'm not worried about the install I think I got it, however when I look at the coil over I can help but wonder how to adjust it when its on the truck :dunno:
    I have searched but getting mixed ideas
    if anyone has any tips thanks

    and I'll post before and after when the install happens

    Nice! Looks like the top mount for the coil is on the threads..so bet you turn that to tighten or loosen the coil. How you do it..or if you can do on the truck..no idea :laughing:

    I have LT King shocks but its the same concept. I dont remove my shocks to adjust, but you do want to get the wheels off the ground so the spring has as little pressure on it as possible. I use an allen wrench (not sure of size) that fits in the hole pretty snug. You can flip the wrench around and move it in all different angles and you can get around the resi hose. It takes a little while but easier than removing the shock IMO
