Split ring adjusters on Coilovers

I just purchased a set of 6" Fox 2.5's for my 2015 and i instantly noticed this design. This aint nothing to play with and i wish it were possible for everyone with intentions of buying these to see this thread. It's not a deal breaker for me personally, but i sure am glad i found this thread before attempting to adjust my dam coilovers! You really gotta pay attention to the details here.
Thanks for the info OP!

 

Yep, just be aware and be careful. Fox continues to use a double ring system on their high end shocks. That should tell you something. Aside from being safer, the double rings turn much easier because that split isn't biting the shock body. I edited my first post to tell people that the double ring system requires the shock to be disassembled to change out; another bad design. You can't just pull the spring and replace them. This is also true of course if you trash your split ring. It will cost you a complete tear down to repair it. All because Fox is too cheap to put a proper adjuster on it.

 

I don't have enough ass to crank the adjuster on a 700lb coil under load anyway. I take em off the truck and compress.

 

I hear you, my 650s are a struggle with a split ring, but much easier with a full ring.

 

I have ran kings, fox, saw, and icons. The two that most consider lower class, saws and icons both have full rings and have been really easy to adjust on my trucks(tundra, fj, and taco). My kings and foxes have been a bitch. I have rebuilt all of the flavors for friends and kings and foxes always had messed up threads that I had to spend time with a file on. I am going to get a few of the full rings and keep them with my CO rebuild tools.

Edit* i have run 700 on the icons and saws, and they still were easier to adjust then the black and blue.
