    It looked to me like he may have "stadium truck" tuned his front to corner and jump better. Don't know shit about shocks but it seemed to sit low and jump the rollers more than soak them.

    Gotta get the weight off the springs in order to lift it, and careful with too much lift, you are gonna start smokin axles!

    Odds and Ends
    You are most likely going to need to remove the coil-overs all together, especially if you have remote resi's, being King's I imagine you do. If you have anything over a 550-600# coil it gets ever harder and using a spring compressor helps a lot. Be sure to lubricate the threads with some WD-40 or similar as well. Keep in mind that if you are trying to achieve additional lift its not 1 to 1. If you are looking for 1" of lift you probably only need about 3/8" of additional coil pre-load.

    Yeah like Tyler said, use some really good lube on the threads or you might be sorry! Luckily I have been able to adjust them all on the vehicle so far. But I have all the different types of special tools for doing so and if needed add an extension bar for more leverage.

    BTW thanks again Tyler, I took care of your customer on Saturday with the sliders!
    He was really happy with the quality of the product and the end result. You are building some quality product,

    1.5" Wheel spacers all around, 2.0 fox coil over with foxes in the back to match it up, add a leaf. 285/70/r16 general grabbers. my magnaflow exhaust k&n intake just threw in some maxtrac spindles. Total chaos UPA. Bunch of other little things
    Thanks for the input weirdly enough it all went away. It was super weird when it first popped up. O well if it was the clutch I would just end up getting a racing clutch so some good would come outta it.

    Any one driving down to fiesta in a group in or around El Cajon.? If not anyone wanna meet up and drive down together.? Also anyone planning on bringing food? I got a lil smokey joe small BBQ I was thinking of Grillin up some steaks burgers and hot dogs for the kids. Also bringing some mixed drinks.
