Anyone know how hard it would be to move it to the opposite end of the lift spectrum? I only have threads on mine, never adjusted that type. 700lb and 6112s would be great for me

 

Before I toss these...

Edit: Nvm. Garbage day tossing them

 

Spring compressor and they go right down. Probably could do it at a local auto parts store if they have a compressor on site

 

@WrecklessAbandon has used my spring compressor to adjust these.

FYI, the auto parts store free rental compressor didn't work, as the compressor fingers were too big to fit between the shock body and the coil.

 

Or if you like to live dangerously like me you can use the truck as a spring compressor.

 

I don't wanna be horribly maimed.

 

Sounds like my buddy has all the tools and says it's an ez job. Other buddy says he approves. He was an engineer at Bilstein a few years back, lol. Now I just need the wife's approval.

 

Not mine. Crazy good deal on a small camping trailer. $3000

 

Some have wall mounted ones, they make it a very easy job

 

Compress spring, slide collar up, move c-clip to desired level, collar down, release spring. Easy peasy.

Gyeah. What he said.

Wouldn’t work with this type of coilover but I like where your head is at.

Unless you mean to fully disassemble, move clip, and reassemble. I suppose that would work.

 

Sounds like the 700lb spring is too much for my truck (and those 6112s). Too much lift even on lowest setting from what I read on here.

 

I swapped springs and have made height changes on my old 6112's with the truck weight method. It was quick, easy, and pretty safe considering you're standing a floor jack handles length away anytime the spring is in a position to do anything sketchy haha

Also I know a few people running 700# springs on 6112's, bilstein doesn't recommend more than 650# but they seem to work well and ride great on the lowest setting with a heavy front end

 

i'm on the lookout for some 650lbs after adding a bumper and winch, I want tor regain some of that down-travel back as well.

 

My issue is I want 0 lift. Seems like 700# on lowest setting is still getting lift from what I've seen on here.

 

I would think 650's would do the trick for you then.

 

Yup, that was the plan, but those were a good deal! Not ready to drop 1100$ on shocks right now. I mean, I am ready. My wallet is not.

 

the wallet is never ready by for the damage

 

Not mine. Super Pacific camper for the 3rd gen. $11,800

 

I hear ya, and it's frustrating you can't buy the 6112's without the supplied 600# coils, such a waste for people upgrading to heavier springs.

 

The Sport comes with 700lb'ers. They have done me very well and am still using them with 5100s. No sway bar.
