    Loosen the allen set screw, then twist to adjust. 1 turn is about 1/8" (IIRC). You can adjust them with the truck on the ground. Drive it around after a few turns, to get the adjustments to settle in.

    Right on thank you sir, is there a way to do it if I don't have a spanner wrench? Still don't understand why Icon doesn't provide one!....blows!

    They sell them, but being as most folks have a shop do the install, they don't include one, as most shops keep it even if they include it. Best is to use a 3/8" diameter long drill bit (concrete), punch, allen wrench, etc. or, you can get the spanner from Icon.

    You should also consider on the lower spring seat, to position the slot towards the rear. It may or may not have any effect, but does protect the lower end of the shafts more.

    Hey guys, I was able to crank up my icon coils, found it a little easier as the front end was jacked up. I want to lower the coils about an inch now, would it be easier lowering these coils as it stands? or jack it up as well? thanks in advance.

    Soak the threads with WD-40 or silicone lube too, makes it a lot easier. And yes, the wheels must be off the ground don't try to do it with the truck on the ground.

    All you guys suggesting to adjust them with the vehicle off the ground are making me feel stupid now :eek:

    Well I did it! Not to kick a man while he's down but drooping out the suspension is def. a must. Lol

    I must say it only took 2 turns on the passenger side to achieve my desired setting compared to 5 turns on the driver side! All this to correct the infamous "taco lean". I wish my kings on my 2014 4runner were this easy, what a pain they are having to remove from the truck to adjust.
