Just took delivery of Bilstein 6112s. I need to move the snap ring up a couple of notches. Can anyone recommend the particular type of snap ring plier for this application?

A bunch of Toyota's!

Bruce, glad to hear you took delivery of the shocks.

There are Circlip specific tools out there, Harbor Freight has a cheap kit for $10 bucks.

If that is not an option, we recommend using needle nose pliers to adjust the cir-clip. Do not remove it from the shock completely, but pull out one side and slowly slide it up to the next setting.
