"Wheeler's Anonymous"

Ya the frame kit is what i'm looking at.

 

You can use a straight Allen T handle with the Allen close in size to the holes on the King shock collar, or King sells a T handle one, or they have me a straight one. Pretty much looks like a straight rose tapered at one end that fits into the shock.

Most of the time you can adjust on the truck itself (front should be jacked off the ground) unless there's too much crap in the way for the tool to turn it.

 

I bought the one with the little angle at the end to hive more leverage. I got to adjust mine too cause Im off level by 1/2" right now. Probably working on the truck next weekend. I'll let yall know

 

220 is Definatly the way to go, much smoother and all around better if you have the wiring for it

 

I dont think you can adjust with the straight tool once installed. Cause the resivoir hose gets in the way. The t handle with the angle tip makes it way easier. Anyways thats what I read a while back.

 

I've only adjusted them last night to where I thought they needed to be, after driving today we'll see where they settle tonight if I need to crank them a tad more, waiting on alignment until I get them where I want them. Or unless I can find a place with some kind of a warrenty

 

That may be the case, I remember checking it out last night an at full droop there looked like a little room if the resi was unscrewed from the bracket, we'll see

 

Going to have to confirm with @SlipperyTaco since we were talking about doing it at his place, I think he's still on vacation though. We were looking at next Sunday the 14th


Looking like a high of 85* for MJT on Saturday

Don't I actually need the spanner wrench or just their T=handle?

i want to move the top coil nut lower, to show more thread, to raise the front end a little. I was told the most you want is about 8 threads showing..

 

ya'll arent thinking of going up to big bear that weekend with @JDEMELLO and the TTORA.com group?

 

Myself and I think @MADSTEEZE were going to do just a day run on the 13th (Saturday)

Camping at Pismo the following weekend so I need to get a mod day in to get a few things prepped and ready

 

Spanner wrench is nice to use when the coil is off the truck, there won't be enough room for adjustments with that specific wrench in your case. The extended T handle is the way to go

 

Sweet. I've always considered ADS

 

Anybody want to be a pal and give me a rundown of how exactly the clickers on shocks work? I've messed with mine a bit and don't notice much difference. I think if I understood what was happening when I turn the dial it would help.

I know. I'm an idiot.

Thanks!

 

I hear ADS is really good. You really cant go wrong with King, Fox, Icon, or ADS. All very well known and have great reviews.

I dont know exactly. Im sure youll find a good thread if you google it.

 

From research I've done it seems like the adjusters are really only for fine tuning. If your looking for more of a durastic change on the shock, then different shim setup is necessary.

Filthy motorsports has a great YouTube video explaining how it all works.

Basically the resi has its own shim stack and by adjusting the knob "stiffer" it's harder for the shock oil to work its way through the piston in the resi making the shock itself stiffer.

If you were to adjust the knob on the resi softer, the oil can more easily go through the piston in the resi making the shock compress faster an therefore be "smoother"

Hope that little explanation helped allitle

Only thing about icons is I know some people were having issues with cracking, I'm pretty sure icon worked it out though saw it on a older tacomaworld thread

 

Thanks! That helped a ton!

 

You need to bring that truck out with us man. You gotta a lot of nice stuff we can help ya put to work.

 

@MADSTEEZE ,@eon_blue ,@digitaLbraVo . Think I'm in on this MJT Saturday. Probably be able to get my foreman to cover for me.

Gotta finish getting my lights set up by then.
