    Hello guys, I just got some fox 2.0 coilovers but I got a little more lift than I wanted. Is there a way to adjust the collar downwards while it’s on the truck. ( really don’t want to take them out and adjust them.) I’m trying to get around 1.75 inches not 2.5 lol

    Aluminum is very soft compared to steel. You can easily strip the threads and then the shocks are done. If I was to try it, I would lift the truck by the frame get weight off the spring and lubricate the threads very well with a good penetrating oil and then see how much effort it took to turn ring. Only if it moves fairly easily would I continue.

    Right. well damn I guess I have no other choice than to lift my rear. I’m just worried of axle wrap and other bull that comes with lifting

    I would suggest lowering the front by the sound of your concerns. You would need an alignment either way that’s why
