    Im going to stick this answer out of my ass but i think that due to the nature of how that shock works with teh clip and stuff, no you cant unless you somehow manage to compress the spring with those unsafe autozone spring compressors, removing the clip and adjusting....thats very dangerous and wouldnt risk my hand in doing...or if you havethe toytec adjustabe coilivers with a spanner...just dissasemble dude..

    I agree easier to just disassemble. I would not mess with trying to adjust your billies while on the truck.

    It is. I just wanna see if I can do it without loosening the lcas. Basically, you just get rid of all preload and disassemble the shock while its on the truck. I've done it a few times and its completely safe.

    ^ I was way outta wack. Still out a little also, But not gonna worry about it till I get my rear leafs on. Then gonna play around with it more. Make some adjustments. I am somewhat sure I can get into shape. I am pulling to the right a little and I get a steering wheel shake from 40 to 50. Other than that no probs. The shake is only from 40 to 50 also. Goes away at 55 plus and below 40. Dk why??

    explain what out of wack means?

    Is it pulling to one particular side? (Camber)

    Is the steering wheel crooked? (Toe)

    does the steering not go back to center after turning? (Caster)

    I am assuming the front of the wheels are pointed in towards each other like so:

    Front
    / \

    Yea, I just got my alignment done because I could tell it was wayyyy off. For me it was my toe. The left was in 5/8 and the right was in 23/32. They were able to get it back within spec without any problem (I have stock UCAs).

    with toe you can just do it at home. measure the distance between your front tires at the front and back of the tires, and get the front to be 1/8" closer together than the rear.
