    So if wanting to get more height outta of coils do I just jack up the front let suspension sag and take my rc spanner wrench and count rotation's so each side is equal? I'm new to adjustable coils so I'm trying to do my homework.

    I’ve tried to get the spanned wrench in there but it’s too long. Might have to disconnect upper ball joint and swing arm up and out of the way. Why do you want to keep pre loading the spring so much? If your coils were for a 6” lift then it should be close outta the box.

    In theory yes. It will be tight cause there’s definitely still tension there, but it can be done. I’d do an extra rotation on the drivers side to account for the taco lean

    These coil overs are labeled left and right, so I believe they already account for the taco Lean

    Correct, they are labeled, but they do not ship the left one to account for the lean(atleast mine didn’t come that way)

    Got them installed need to get an alignment in the morning, overall I am happy with them so far. With a 2inch block in the rear I have a slight Cali lean. I’ll post pictures tomorrow.

    Interesting discussion. I am on the fence with the Icon stage 4 w/Tubular UCA's and Icon AAL - or these RC Vertex. RC has a full kit now with RC UCA's and leaf springs. I am interested in the 3.5" setup. Anyone following this discussion have this full kit? Or have any interest, or information about them? Like others have mentioned, the RC site is lacking details. Reviews are bleak.

    I only have the front coil overs and the V2monotube rears on blocks. SPC uppers. It rides great! I’d say this kit you have pictured would be a good investment,

    I just drove 600 miles, was smoother than stock. I am really happy with these coil overs.

    What do you have your reservoirs set at for damping?
