    Finally got my coilovers installed over the weekend. Does anyone know what size the preload adjustment holes are on these? I think they're the typical 5/16", but I'm not positive.

    I'm wondering this too, I do know they aren't the same size as the Icon adjustment holes. @M C M ?

    Looks like 5/16 is correct. My screwdriver I use to adjust the CO's measures .307"

    hey Rob. quick question. it looks like your bumps are set up as high into the can as they go, when your truck is on the ground how much gap is there between the tip of your bump and the strike plate?

    :popcorn: post pictures so the rest of us can see

    Edit: those bumps could be moved up higher to let the expo pack stuff more if thats the issue (unless you already set it to bump when the pack is flat).

    I also have the deaver u402 with some extra leafs (making it a 10 leaf pack), so itll be interesting to compare how the two packs sits differently at ride height.

    Let me see if I can go get a picture / measurement when I go out for lunch in a bit. My measurement is going to be low since my U402 pack seems to be kind of flat. Deaver is going to take a look and potentially fix/upgrade it when I'm in socal next month.






    Yeah show us some pics. Heres mine before and after the install in July 2015:

    @tyfoon11

    I have about 1" between the top of the leafs and the bottom of the bump.



    Would've gotten a better picture but it was just starting to rain and I was hungry
